Going for girl number 4!

Yep, pregnant again! This is one Lucky baby! It's due date is February 29, 2012 (leap year) and is my parents grandchild number 13. Not to mention, it is truely by the Grace of God that this child came to be (but that is another long post.) We have decided right now to keep the sex of the baby a surprise until birth (we'll see how long we can last.) We feel very blessed that God trusts us with another child......and pray for more energy to keep up with His standards....hehe. Thank you for joining us in celebrating this wonderful adventure we are embarking upon.

Hansel and Gretel

Madelynn's first dance recital was on Saturday. She did great! She was an angel in the play Hansel and Gretel. I think she had alot of fun.

Mom, we need a new house

Such funny conversations I have with Madelynn lately. Here is one recent one:

Mom, this mirror looks wrong here. I think we need to move the house.

Move the house?

Well, maybe we could just buy a new house.

We need a new house?

Yes, this house is too old. We need give this house to people who like old things.

Like who?

Like old people.

Old people?

Yes, daddy is old. He can live here, and we can go to a new house.

I don't know about that.....

Well, maybe we can just get all new stuff. Are you thinking what I'm thinking mom?

What are you thinking?

I'm thinking we need a new palm tree, acorn tree, all new trees....

She continued with a list of new things we need, while I quietly laughed.... Her imagination is just hilarious!

The Harmonic Clash

Yo-Yo Ma and Lil Buck. Love the culture clash that works in such harmony.

Quick Update

Just a quick update on what we've been up to.

Madelynn got her first haircut. She really enjoyed the special outing, and loves her new hair.

Before:

After:

Annie is potty trained! She still has a little accident sometimes as she waits too late and goes running for the potty. But it is common now to hear commotion in the bathroom as she goes all by herself.

Joy started on cereal! She seems to like it so far. We start baby food next week. Should be fun! ;)

Well, that's about it for us for now! Hope everyone is enjoying the Spring weather as much as we are!

Happy April Fool's Day!

Haha! Bet you were checking in to see if I was pregnant again this year or not. I'm not. ;)  Love you all and hope ya'll had a wonderful day!

Update on Joy!

So we had the appt. at Scottish Rite yesterday and they said she looked normal!  They said some torsion of the tibial is common in infants because they sit crosslegged in utero for 9 months.  They aren't worried about the length discrepancy either.  If it gets worse as she gets older, then they will gladly see her again.  But as of now, they are calling her completely normal!

Thank you all for your prayers!
