It's time for an update! Yep, it's been a year. I'm not surprised :) I doubt anyone else even reads this anymore but it's turned into quite a nice little journal to print out for my three lovely ladies, and even if I only post once per year, that's great! What brought me back here will have me hopefully posting more than once per year because.... Baby GIRL number FOUR is on the way!!! We found out in May, told the girls at the end of June, and last week on August 17th found out that we have another precious little girl joining our family sometime around the first week of January, 2013. I'm 19 weeks pregnant right now, and feeling so blessed. The big girls are over-the-top excited to have a baby. They've prayed for this for a long time and I'm so thankful to God for answering our prayers! Maegan started 3rd grade last week. She is loving it so far! Soccer starts tomorrow and she'll begin piano lessons next week, which she is very excited about. Anna Kate started 1st grade last week and is also loving it. She began gymnastics last week and has enjoyed practicing. She still works hard to be good at whatever she does. Molly started 4 year old preschool last week. She goes four mornings each week for 2.5 hours. Which leaves me feeling a little lost and sad without my baby at home! She also started gymnastics and is having quite a good time. Here are a few recent pics: Our precious baby girl- profile shot: Photobucket In this ultrasound photo she has her two arms held up in front of her face, it's my favorite shot!

My old friends!!! I can't believe you guys found me- thanks to whoever shared this with all of you! This truly made my day- what an awesome surprise. I miss seeing you guys on FB- but it was not for me and I'm much happier without it (as tempting as it is to be able to keep up with all of you!)
I keep thinking about you guys because of this pregnancy, how weird it is not having all of you along with me. I miss you!
love
