I went in for my 20 week ultrasound today.....

It's

A

Boy!!!


I wanted to put up some pictures but sadly the cd they gave me is blank. :( I'm waiting for the nurse to call me to see if I can get another copy, if I get one I'll come back and post them for sure!

Happy Birthday to me...Happy Birthday to me....

Well, I've been having a hard time trying to figure out what to post here....plus we've been busy remodeling our kitchen and taking the kids to swim lessons.

Anyway, just to be brief, things are going well. I'm 19.5 weeks along now and have an ultrasound scheduled next Wednesday. We like to find out the gender of the baby and normally don't keep any secrets. So when I know, you'll know! :)

Now I'm off to start celebrating the first day of the last year of my twenties.....it started off with my girls bringing me coffee and a tiara to wear! :O)

Happy 6th Birthday Jessica!

You are very loved!

How do you tie your shoes?

Someone just posted on Facebook about teaching their child to tie shoes and it just made me wonder what method you use?

Bunny ears?

One loop around and tuck?

or this super fun way that happens to be how I tie mine?

Life

Once Ian finished the tree fort he decided to move right on into remodeling our kitchen. When we bought this house we knew that the kitchen was small and something would need to be changed with it and we've been tossing around ideas. Once we settled on what we wanted to do, the demolition began. He's put in a doorway between the kitchen and dining room, removed some of the overhead cabinets and moved the counter to open things up. It looks and feels so much bigger now! I'll post some before/after pictures when it's a bit more complete, right now it's still a bit rough. :O)

On top of all that the kids are going to a soccer camp each evening this week and have swimming lessons every evening for the next two weeks. I know each of those things only takes a couple hours or so out of each night but having something EVERY night just wears me out. I'll be ready to be a homebody when it's all over.
