  • For those of you not on Facebook, here is a quick update with a few pictures. Sorry that I've been really bad about keeping this page current!

    All through this pregnancy, I have just known this baby was a boy. The way I am carrying, the way I feel, everything ...it all reminds me of when I was pregnant with the boys. Plus, we have a pretty good track record of adding to the male population. So imagine my surprise when the ultrasound technician said it was another girl! I absolutely was floored. She even triple checked it for me :) Anyway, this is wonderful, wonderful news. Ellie will have to give up her role as queen of the roost but she will gain a sister. They will be the closest in age of all my children (18 months) and I have been imagining how great it will be for them to grow up together... digging through each others closets, whispering secrets, and just being girls. I love my sisters so much and am glad that my daughter will experience that bond as well. So, that's our excitement for the moment. Now we need to get cracking on names!

  • Happy birthday to my sweet Finny! Even though you said two was "enough", we are happy to see you turn three.

    (This is a day late but Mommy no longer has a functioning brain and so these things are bound to happen.)

  • Happy birthday Ellie! This first year has gone by too fast for my liking. Try to put on the brakes, okay? Next thing you know, I'll be planning a wedding. And I am so not ready for that.

    A year in pictures...

  • Oh yeah, one little thing I forgot to mention in my last post. It has come to our attention (that's putting it mildy!) that another wee Amos is on board. Yes, I was just as surprised as the rest of you.  For those of you keeping count, this brings our tally up to five. Five. Five! Five!! Our cup runneth over. When I asked Finn what he thought of a new baby, he said "I like children". So do we.

  • Ellie's birthday is this week. Has it already been a year since a girl has joined our ranks? She is a joy to us all...even when her diapers send Finn into vomiting fits (yes, that was as fun as it sounds).

    Here are the latest pics...

    This is Ellie's cheesy grin. It usually follows someone saying they love her.

    Hollie, The digital photographs are wonderful. Thank you for posting them. I found them at almost 11pm tonight, but I still must download them so I can look even closer. I'm seeing numerous possibilities for making a collage to serves as my desktop wallpaper. Hugs and kisses to everyone! Pa
