When??? What???

My parents arrived last night from Montana, contractions most of the night with little sleep, and both of my boys have been born on a Tuesday!  :)

So, do you have a guess?
Boy or Girl
Today or God teaching me more about patience.  :)

Bath time fun!

Little shaving cream fun before our bath!  

Think they liked it!  

More indoor winter fun!

We usually don't wear shoes inside, but have your ever tried dancing with your snow boots on!  

Totally Fun!  

 Looking cool in our new snow suit from a friend!  

 Ring around the Rosie action in out snow suits for extra padding!  :)

 Making tents with blankets

 Do you look this good in boots?  

 I didn't think so!  :)

Mom's night out

 Had Birch Hills's 1st annual Mom's night out thanks to inspirations from Suzanne!  

Thanks Suzanne!  :)  

What a fun night of laughter, great new friends, and hopefully some encouragement as well!  :)  

 The BEST white Elephant gift!  A toilet seat!  :)  

Thankful for these ladies!  :)  

Baby Franklin???

As we get closer to welcoming another little one into our home, I have LOVED seeing Zeke's excitement about his little brother or sister.  He has asked lots of questions and has daily wanted to say Hi to HIS baby by talking to my tummy.  If you ask him if it will be a boy or a girl, he always says boy.  He has also chosen a name. . . Baby Franklin.  A friend of our has loaned him some Franklin DVDs, and I think that is where he got the idea.  I think it is pretty cute.  :)  He is going to make a GREAT big BIG brother.  

This Little Piggy

Today, Zeke and I were reading some books when we found a nursery rhyme book with pictures.  We were reading:

  This little piggy went to market,
This little piggy stayed at home,
This little piggy had roast beef,
This little piggy had none.
And this little piggy went...
"Wee wee wee" all the way home...

Suddenly, Zeke got tears in his eyes, pointed at the picture of the little piggy with none, and asked why the other little piggy didn't share.  

I LOVE this little man!  :)

Also, I am realizing how true it is that his little ears hear everything even when I don't think he is listening.  We attended a play group today and I was talking about my doctor's appointment.  I had told the other mom's that the baby is head down now.  This afternoon, I put my hand on my stomach.  Zeke said, "What is the baby doing now, Mama.  Is the baby still head down?"  It makes me wonder what is going on in the mind of our big 3 year old.  :) 

Our New to Us Car

So, here it is:  We ended trading in out 2002 Honda CRV for a 2000 Honda Odyssey!  I wish I could tell you this is the actual car too, but I am feeling a little lazy tonight, 8 months pregnant, and it is -20 degrees F so I just found a picture on-line.  But, our car looks exactly like this.  

Zeke keeps telling me that our car has 1, 2, 3 seats now and has been talking lots about where the new baby will sit.  Tobie (the dog) has even enjoyed going for rides and having the entire back seat to herself until #3 arrives.  But, we are super thankful that God provided us with this car and have been enjoying the extra space.  The extra bonus is we can keep having kids cause now we have space for them!   And, I think Danny was a little excited that it came with a built in GPS system.  Too bad the minute you cross into Canada all of the roads disappear.  :)  Guess it is only programmed for the US!  :)
