Exciting News

It is fitting that today is Veteren's Day and yesterday Eli got a letter from his Uncle Steven who is at Boot Camp.


Hey was so excited to read it.


We are so very proud of Steven and his hard work. We are also gratefule and thankful for all those that have served this country.

The kids are sick with colds this week so this is how they really feel about it...


Consequently when Eli is sick he seems to be a bit more of a handful. The only way I could get anything done in the kitchen yesterday was by doing this.


That is a mix of Rice Krispies, Macaroni, and Rice. Eli loved playing in it and it kept him busy. He was so excited about it that when Anthony got home from work he had to tell him and show him. He was eating it too which for the record I told him he probably would not like it.


Yesterday also saw our first snow. It was not a lot but white stuff did fall. Eli loved looking up to watch it.


Lilliana loved sitting in her highchair and watching along with watching Eli and Anthony clean up more of the yard.



We also had exciting news to tell Eli yesterday. I can't say he took it as well as I would have thought he would but that is ok. He does keep talking about it...................

It is hard to read but it says........... "Guess what? I am going to be a..... Big Sister/Big Brother Again"

Around 5 weeks. We are going to silhoutte pictures this time.

2 years Old, 6 Weeks, 8 months

................................That is right correct. Baby number 3 is on the way. Now before I get comments like you know how to stop that etc. Yes we do but we have always said if God blesses us by surprise we will be grateful and take it.  A couple weeks ago when I had such a hard week this was why. Eli and Lilliana have been planned. This baby is a complete and utter surprise to us. It was a lot to take. I am thrilled to have another baby. I just am not thrilled about being pregnant. It is a lot to swallow for me and I am not going to lie I cried for a good 3 days. Thankfully I am getting excited and I know it was God's plan. It will all be wonderful in the end. We have always wanted to wait until I am a good 12 weeks to tell and always struggle when to tell everybody but my body does not hide it well. I am already showing as per usual and probably will break out the maternity pants soon. Needless to say we are thrilled I know the kids will be too. 

My grandparents are on their way now from Idaho to come visit. They are going to help me get organized and get some stuff done before this baby gets here. I can't wait to see them. They will arrive sunday and hopefully after a week we will have had a wonderful visit and gotten a lot accompolished. Have a happy weekend everybody!!!!!!!!!!
