Well, with technically 3 more weeks to go, early-labor has set in. The contractions come and go. I get excited, then dissapointed,then excited.. well you can see the pattern. Many of my "prego" friends have popped thier new bamboosils out, and I am still waiting. It's hard to do, I guess it is one of the great lessons that the Lord teaches us..or tries to teach us mothers.

The kids start school next week and so do I, or at least I am suppose to. Summer is rapidly closing in on us and our round of birthdays are almost over. Hannah turned 5 in August, and Seth's birthday is next week. Now that Hannah is 5 we havfe discovered, new attitudes and have assumed that all the old house rules no longer apply. Once a agian, the lesson of patience..plus diligence.

I have become crafty and am finishing a scrap book, making a baby sling, and creating special "big brother, big sister" t-shirts... all for the sake of sanity. If I din't have these projects, I would be obsessing, more so than I already do, about the time of birth of this baby.

Maybe the word "labor" in labor day will mean something to my achy body.
Have a very happy and restful holiday!

10 weeks and counting!

WE LOVE YOU UNCLE NIK! Oh how they smother, but yet I do not feel badly for this act of true love. Once again we had a great visit with uncle Nik, and are now asking where in the world is Uncle Elmar? Yes Elmar, if you read this only you can answer that question.

Yes, 10 weeks to go..or so. Many of you know Kim..well we are bound to have these babies on the same day? Is there a full moon anytime around our due dates? And Dan shall we sign the premarritial rights now or later.. I am sure you wouldn't mind having a Mccomas?? :) Yes, the 30 week mark is here, and I don't know wether to sleep or cry, that seems to be all that I do these days. The baby is big and growing, and I well am uncomfortable most of all the time. I guess I should have known this stage was bound to come along. Most everything is ready to go, just a few odds and ends that are still needed, or being put together or even found. I can't wait!

Hannah and Seth really enjoyed their trip to Inidana Beach. Once again we picked one of the hottest days of the year, or so it seemed to me. Brian, didn't seem to suffer much form the heat, but come-on, the tilt-a-whril 4 times in a row?? I think you get the picture.

And of course the season of weddings, and our dear Hannah is now planning one. Yes at 4 years of age,, she is talking about her "big day." Of course all of this is due to the catching of the bouquet at a friends wedding. Way to go! So plan she does, and pray I do that all her dreams will come true!

Until the next time!

Halfway there!

Well, only 126 more days to go until we meet the beautiful baby. Many things on our life are happening, starting and ending. Brian finished his half marathon and did great, 1hour and 48 min start to finish! Hannah finished dance and what a recital she gave! Seth and Hannah finish school this week and will have a program on Tuesday night. Then the summer begins! Hannah and Seth are going to do swimming and Hannah is going to try gymnastics, Seth wants to try soccer. We will be busy so I think that the 126 days will go very fast. We are excited about our children and very pround of all their accomplishments! Oh yes, learning to ride a bike, with and without training wheels is always fun!! Enjoy the pictures!

spring?

So after spending the whole day outside in 80 degree sunshine, it is now freezing cold again, and is suppose to be all week. The kids and I planted flowers yesterday and now it is too cold to even think about it. I guess today would be a good day to clean.

Baby Douglas is growing fast. Next week marks the 5 month mark! He likes to move around alot, especially when I am trying to be quiet! The recent garage sales have been good to find a few ods and ins that we will be needing, that I sold a few years ago. OPPS.

We also have 4 beautiful kittens that are growing too. They will be needing good homes!

THINK SPRING

New News

Well the latest and greatest news is that the baby comming in September is another boy. We are thrilled, well all but Hannah. she says "thats not fair." I just remind her that she is lucky because she is now the only princess! And she is ok with that. We are not sure what we still have left over from Seth, nor so we know where this little one will sleep. But advancements are being made.
Included are the ultrasound pics and some of our recent vacation to Orlando. Enjoy!
