update!

Katie: She is doing very well. She now knows all of her upper and lower case letters and most of the letter sounds. She is constantly begging me to do preschool and to play with her learning toys. She is super excited about being a big sister and is always asking questions about the baby and telling me all the wonderful things she is going to do with her little sister. I know she is going to be such a BIG helper when this baby comes. Katie is really just such a wonderful child and everyday I am thankful for her laughter and smile in my life.

Stephen: He has applied to AA school and has had one interview so far. We are excited at the prospect of this new adventure. We should be hearing back soon to see if he has been accepted to that school as well as if he will get any more interviews at the other schools he applied to. He is also currently volunteering at the children's hospital here in town. He gets to help do fun activities with the sick children who are there for serious health concerns. He really enjoys it so far and it has really made him appreciate how blessed we are to have a healthy happy child.

Becky: I am feeling very pregnant. This pregnancy seems to just be flying by! We got to have our 4th ultra sound the other day and it was so neat to see how this little girl is growing. This little girl (we still don't know what to name her) reminds me very much of when I was pregnant with Katie. She is very active and seems to almost jump around and do flips and turns. I feel more tired with this pregnancy then I remember feeling with Katie but that might be because I am now chasing after a two year old all day long! We could not feel more excited about having another little girl in our family. I recently just had a birthday and am feeling old. I know that 25 is not super old but it sounds old! Half way through my twenties...wow time sure does fly!

Okay well I think that about sums up everything going on in our small world. Sorry I haven't been the best at updating the blog recently. Here are some pictures of Katie at a "children's museum" that we took her to the other week. I would hardly call this a museum because it was so poorly ran and most of the toys and experiments were outdated and run down but Katie had fun regardless. I have been trying to find less expensive and yet fun activities to take katie to and this was one of them that I found online. I was a little disappointed with it. So if anyone out there has some awesome places to take young kids to please let me know! Thanks!
