We did have the baby...

Yes, we did have the baby...though you would never know it from this blog. I am unapologetically terrible at keeping this thing current. I don't have time for lots of information, but here are some fun pictues! Addison is doing really well, growing quickly like her big brother did, and starting to sleep a little more at night. Luke and Hailey love her (usually a little too much!) and can't wait for her to start walking and talking. Luke asks often when that will be. Luke started preschool again, and is loving it. Hailey would love to go with him - and sadly tells anyone that asks Luke about preschool that she is "too little". Matt has been galavanting (is that how you spell that?) all over the country this month, but promises to stay within city limits for awhile once he returns from a conference tomorrow. Hope all of you out there are enjoying the Fall!

Pictures!

Here are some fun recent pictures of the family. We are all doing well! Luke turned 4 at the end of March, and Hailey turned 2 over Memorial Day weekend. I am also growing bigger, as you can see from some of the pictures! My due date is in mid-August, so only a couple more months to go! Hope you all are enjoying the start of summer.

Luke's Bob the Builder Cake!

Happy Birthday Luke!

Sleeping in the bunk beds for the first time - so sweet!

March!!!

Yeah! It's March!

Though I know it will probably still be freezing until mid-April, it somehow just makes me feel better knowing it's not February anymore. I hate that month.....Christmas done, still freezing, Spring is still forever away, and generally no sign of the sun - yuck.

We've got some fun things to look forward to in March even if it doesn't warm up. Luke's 4th birthday is on the 26th and we'll be taking a couple trips to Chicago and Milwaukee for birthday parties for cousins, a conference for Matt, and a shoulder surgery for Matt. Okay, guess that last one won't be so fun for Matt...but we all get to hang out with Grandpa and Grandma Bollier for a few days.

The kids are doing well but super stir-crazy, hence my impatience for Spring. It will be so nice just to go on walks again and sit on the front steps watching them play.

I can't think of anything else super exciting to write - so I guess I'm done.

Oh, I think most everyone who reads this already knows, but if not...we have a little baby coming this August. We are very excited and so far the pregnancy has been great! I would bet heavily that it's a boy because I wasn't sick at all this time, where I was sick with Hailey last time. We'll see!
