Brody come back!!

Dear Brody- My kids were looking forward to you coming out to Pittsburgh with Trace. We went to the airport but all we saw was boring ol Trace! Nah! We love your dad, we were just SURE you were going to be there with him:( So we just can't wait until July 12th when we get to see you and your new baby sister! Oh and your mom too! See you soon!!!

Favorite toy of the summer!

The Kids found a box and it became their new best friend. I am not lying when I say that they spent HOURS with this box! It was Crazy! Forget toys!! All they need is a box and a hill. They sat on it, they sat in it, they laid in it, they laid on it, they rolled in it, they ran and jumped on it (that was hilarious); I would have never thought of all the fun ways to go down a hill in a box! It was fun to watch their creative minds at work! Then one day the box was rained on and was no longer in working condition, so I threw it away. I got in SO much trouble by 5 kids!! They are still mad at me! So I guess I will have to find them another box, or two!

Missing you already!

I am so fortunate to have a sister who is only 2 years younger than me! She has been my best friend since we were kids . . . it just took me a while to realize that it was Okay for my sister to be my best friend too. I love you Brindi, and I am so glad that you came out to Pittsburgh to see me! Even though I am your older sister, I look up to you so much! Thank you for your love and your example to me! I am glad that you are home form your mish. I love you Mi mi! And no more kissing strange men in the park!

The Temperature Stick

One day I had to run an errand and Ali wanted to play at Celeste Johnson's house. I called Celeste and she said that it would be fine if she stayed . . . That night I got a message from Celeste saying, "Ali told me that you have a baby in your belly, and I asked her 'how do you know?' and she said, 'Because the temperature stick told me! There was an X and a different line too, so that means my mom has a baby in her tummy' " So evidently Ali sees a resemblance between a "Thermometer" and a pregnancy test.

And since Ali is telling the world I thought I would share it with the world as well! Baby number 3 is on her way. I am about 8 weeks along. I have had some morning sickness and "symptoms" a lot like when I was pregnant with Ali. I hate dairy products like yogurt and string cheese but crave chocolate milk. So I think it is a girl, but we will see? I have one of each so I really do not care what I have as long as it is healthy!
