Our Disney World Souvenir

Well, it turns out that Disney World truly is a magical place. It seems we brought home an extra souvenir. We will be welcoming "Little Rufus", as the kids call the baby in mommy's tummy, in mid-June. We are in the 2nd trimester and hoping for better health. I have been pretty exhausted and had lots of morning sickness, all day, for almost 8 weeks. It has been yucky. We are very excited about our newest addition and pray that the Lord gives us all the patience and grace needed to raise 4 kids! NOTE: "Rufus" is just the joke name we use to call the baby---since it will have to be an "R" name. We will not tell anyone the name until the baby is born.

Disney On Ice

Last night we went to Disney on Ice and had a wonderful time. Disney seems to always do everything right! It was a great show and the character were great on the ice.... The excitement builds before the show...

Look Who Turned 3!!!!!!

I can't believe that my baby girl just turned 3! We took her to Red Robin to celebrate her b-day dinner the night Grammer flew in for a visit. She enjoyed them singing to her and getting to eat her yummy ice cream sundae. Grammer then took her to Build-A-Bear workshop where she chose to make a special birthday puppy. It was very cute. Then on Saturday, we celebrated her b-day with friends and family with a Mickey Mouse party. We felt quite blessed.

Don't I look cute for a 3 year old???

How do you like my new Dora gear given to me by Grammie?

Both Ryan and Reagan had Christmas programs at their schools. Ryan had the job of holding the sheep at the manger and Reagan was chosen to be an angel that danced at the manger. Ryan doing his job very well
