We were blessed to be all together for Christmas this year. The kids were just itchin' for Christmas to actually arrive this year....

We are expecting....a blessing

After our miscarriage in August we were anxious to try again. We are blessed to be expecting another little miracle the end of July 2011. What a blessing this little one is to us and we are so very excited!!

Not a very good picture but I was able to see the heartbeat. Sadly the dr. said Brian couldn't be in the room because we had Kaleb and Gabriel there and they don't allow children in the room for the first ultrasound. I was not happy because I wanted Brian to be there with me for it. (they had to do a full exam so Brian was waiting in the waiting room with the boys waiting for them to call him back for the u/s)

Making Pies.....

The night before Thanksgiving Shaylee and Jaden helped me make pies. I was up until 1am cooking the darn things but we had fun!! We ended up doubling the amount we planned because I made too much pumpkin pie filling. :) That's ok, there is NEVER a such thing as too much pumpkin pie!
