Cute Response

After seeing a picture of Darth Vader for the first time Ebby responds with, "How cute."

To be fair, Vader was playing an accordion.

Here's a link to the video Ebby was watching at the time.

The girls are finally going to outnumber the boys!

We had an ultrasound today. Besides finding out that we're having a girl we saw a little taste of her personality. Our little beauty must somehow be related to Jackie Chan. After almost every pause to take her measurements the sonographer had to try to find her again. She flipped and spun so many times it was tiring to just watch her. Near the end I swear she did a spinning jump kick right onto the probe. That one actually hurt.
We're so excited to have another baby girl but we're kind of at a loss when it comes to names. Any (serious) suggestions?

Ebby's 3rd Birthday

It's so hard to believe that our little man is already three years old. Time really does fly when you're having fun. And you, my dear Ebby, are SO much fun. Thanks for being such a wonderful little man.

We love you!

Happy Birthday!

123's, video games and vegetables

Autumn's kind of learning her 123's.

Recently Ebby's had a really bad diaper rash. He's been really good about it so we thought we'd give him a fun distraction. I think we may have opened up an extremely large can of worms a little early here.

 

Finally, someone's decided to eat their vegetables of their own accord. Ebby still won't touch them but at least Autumn's trying.

Trials and Blessings

Life has been really hard lately. "Morning" sickness, food aversions, extreme fatigue and (sorry Andrew) weird mood swings, all while trying to keep two toddlers clean, fed and happy. With everything I have to complain about I feel like I have even more to be thankful for. I have a WONDERFUL husband who sacrifices so much time and energy to help me get through each day. I have two beautiful kids that are healthy and love us. And I have awesome family members who are constantly uplifting me and will occasionally come visit. Andrew's mom, Sharon, was just here for a couple days and my brother, Tim, is coming this weekend. I'm also extremely grateful to the Lord for blessing us with another baby and that we had the chance to catch a glimpse of #3 yesterday.

With so many trials in my life I'm so glad that I have so many blessings.

Autumn's walking! ... again.

The last two weeks have been really weird for me. It's like we traveled back in time about five months. Before Autumn got her cast she wouldn't stand or walk (thankfully). Then when she finally did get her cast she would only tolerate crawling, maybe standing but only for a minute or two. As she's gotten more use to having a cast it's like she's re-learned how to stand, walk and now run. Yes, Autumn is trying to run with a cast on her leg. Here are some videos to prove it.
