GET TO BED!

This past week, we've been trying to get Gracie to go to sleep on her own. Before, we were idiots and laid with her until she fell asleep, which could last from 5 to 60 minutes. Now, we are just laying her in her bed and telling her "Good Night". The trouble is that Gracie won't stay in her bed when we put her in there and this picture is the sight we see in the living room as she peeks her head around the corner. It is still taking a long time and many trips back into the bedroom, but hopefully one day Gracie will fall asleep on her own and in her own bed. Right?

Cheeeeeeeeesssse!



On Sunday, March 15th, we all took a drive up to Wahoo to go to Bomgaars. Mom told me about the little chicks and ducks that they had in Columbus so I thought it would be fun to take Gracie up there to see them. Of course, when we got there they had none. So then we went to their local elementry school where we played on the equiptment. Gracie liked chasing the corn husks around in the wind the best. This is titled "cheese" because Gracie has started saying cheese when you take her picture. Its really funny.

And Then There Was Four!

Yes, this is the official blog announcement that we are going to have another baby! Are you surprised cause we were. It all started with feeling hungry in the mornings when I got up to go to work. I'm never hungry at this time. Secondly, I couldn't get my butt out of the bed in the mornings. Thirdly, I started getting up in the middle of the night to pee. Forthy, I began noticing all the pregnancy commercials on tv. And lastly, a positive pregnancy test was the official sign that I was going to have another baby. This pregnancy, so far, has been pretty different than Gracies. I am slightly nauseated with this one, but not bad. Probably the biggest change is that I am really LAZY! All I want to do is lay on the couch and nap. I do get up to feed Gracie, change her pants, and play with her here and there, but everything else has been put on the back burner. That is until this week. I'm starting to regain some energy and my house was finally kinda clean since 2 months ago. And I'm getting back on the internet (sorry for the absence of blog entries). We were hoping for maybe another year between siblings, but of course we feel blessed to have another addition to this family. By the way, baby #2 will be arriving around September 19th and as of right now, we are not going to find out the sex of the baby. So, here's to another pregnant summer!

Is it Spring Yet?

Gracie just couldn't get enough of her wagon ride. We had to go on two walks and take a break sitting in the wagon at home. We sure made the most of the day and I am very ready for spring.
