This and That

I've come to the conclusion that I am, in fact, a terrible blogger. My last post was from JUNE! Seriously, how did I let 7 months go by with not even a picture? So, I'll just have to do a little update with the important stuff to get up to speed. The kids are enjoying school...Delainey is in 2nd grade, Mikaela is in Kindergarten, and Aubrey goes to preschool 2 days a week. That leaves me 2 mornings with only Noah boy. Sometimes I love those days! And then there are the days like today when we have to run errands, and he screams the entire time we're at Target...unless we're in the toy isle. He thinks he should be allowed out of the cart and free to run as he pleases. I guess I haven't convinced him that I'm in charge.


Anyway, the kids are doing well and they were so excited when we let them make all the phone calls to tell our families that we are expecting another baby. That's right, baby #5! I thought they might be a little upset when we told them they were going to have another sibling, but to my surprise, they were all very excited! I've only been to the doctor once, so no ultrasounds to tell gender yet. Hopefully in a few weeks we'll be able to find out. This baby is due in July...the day before my birthday. I never thought I would hope for a baby to come late, but I'm really hoping this one can hold out until then so we can have 3 generations sharing a birthday (since I share with my dad). But if not, I'd settle for this baby coming on the birthday of any of my other family members who also have July birthdays (I think we have a total of 8 right now).


Andy recently started a new job and I think he'd really enjoy it, if he got to do more of it. But he keeps getting asked to help with other projects at work, which kind of take priority. But he keeps plugging away, and they hope to have the new shop up and running in April.


So, those are the major things...now for some pictures!
