The Cat is Out...

Yes, we are announcing that we are expecting baby #4 come March. :) We are of coarse thrilled, and nauseous (really), but super excited. We are hoping for a girl...or we might send it back...just kidding. We just feel so blessed. We wanted to wait another month to tell, but my belly would not hear it...I'm already happily wearing my maternity pants. Yes, it feels good to breath. I guess that is what happens with baby #4.

So, we just told our family and our own children, and have gotten a whole variety of responses. Some happy, some shocked, and even some disappointment. But, we are just estactic! Sarah has come up with some hilarious questions that I thought I'd get down for journal purposes:

"How will the baby come out of your tummy?"
"Does the baby have a blanket inside to keep it warm?"
"Does the baby have toys to play with? That would be boring."
"Can the baby talk in there?"
"Does the baby feel cold since you are always cold?"
"Does the baby lay down when you lay down?"

Those are just a few off the top of my head. Jacob lovingly kisses the belly and Josh is oblivious. His boat is about to be rocked since we still call him "the baby". He's 2! Anyway, life will be busy, but know we still love you all...even if we can't chat as much. :) PS If you are family, we ran out of cell minutes and couldn't get everyone called. Sorry!! We're already over 60 minutes...at .40 cents a minute...yikes! We'll talk on the weekend. :)

Lost Tooth!


Sarah lost her first tooth in July. She was SO EXCITED...(can you tell?) and the other bottom tooth is loose already! What does the tooth fairy pay these days? She got a dollar! :)


I cut off about 5-6 inches of her hair and we had a salon day. I dried it and put it in my hot curlers. She looks so grown up!


Who is this big girl? Surely not my baby? She's going to Kindergarten and I'm boo-hooing already!

I know I haven't blogged forever, but we've just been enjoying the summer. Some highlights were:
Family Reunion to Yellowstone
Friday Night Flicks at Jacobson Park
Free Regal Movies on Tuesdays
Story Time at the Library
Swim lessons and going to the pool
Sprinklers in the backyard and lots of freezepops
Taking the kids to the drive-in to see Ice Age III
4th of July BBQ, Parades, and Fireworks
Sleeping in, staying up late
watering the flowers
and lots of ice cream!!!! (pics to come!) :)
