UPDATES:
We are due with #3 in a week! Yikes. We are excited to meet this little one and introduce him/her to all of you when that time comes. I am feeling great and just hoping that he/she stays put for another 5 days or so. Matt is working a lot because he is taking off for a week around when the baby is due and my mom comes in on Friday. So, please baby..enjoy your nice warm, comfy place for a little while longer.
M1:
She turned 5 in Feb and is already talking about when she is turning 10. She is still as busy as ever running circles around us. We just try to keep up. She bought herself a fish with her birthday money; her name is Dorathy. She is taking good care of her so far. She wants magical hair and has her mommies' addiction to ice cream. She is ready for the baby to come and wants a girl very badly. I am sure she will love a brother too because she loves M2 so much. They are starting to fight a lot more and that makes the days long sometimes. But overall they play well together and love to see each other after bing apart for a time.
M2:
The "little Matt" is doing great too. He will be 2 on my due date (the 9th). He is our comedian in the family and is always doing something to make us laugh. He seems to have gotten my hair (which I am very happy about). I will have to learn to cut it myself..Matt doesn't even go to a professional to get his done. We shall see how I do. Someone asked me recently if I am just going to buzz it off...are you kidding me?? I can't live without those curls!
He still isn't saying much; actually really nothing at all. He says, "mama, da (for dog)" and the is about it. He "talks" a lot but we just aren't sure what he is saying. He loves dogs, being outside, and sleeping.
Matt:
He is really enjoying his job in the ER (most of the time). I am very happy for him because he was able to buy a new car (3 yrs old) for the first time. It is an audi (my dream car from collage) and it is so nice that he has a nice/fast car to drive to work now. If you know Matt you know this was not something he just jumped into. I was kind of shocked myself when he brought it up a few months ago that he wanted something newer and nice. I am very happy that he was able to do it though and get something nice for himself because he NEVER does. Anyways..he loves the time he gets at home because of his job. It is wonderful that he gets so much time with the kids at this stage of their lives. God has blessed us tremendously.
We also got word this past month that he got excepted into the Air Force Reserves. This has been in the works for the last 10 months and we are excited about the opportunity. He will still keep his current job and will just be committed to one weekend a month and two weeks out of the year. He will be working out of Scott Air Force Base just thirty minutes from us.
He also just became a deacon at our church. What a great opportunity for him to serve our church and for us to be more involved.
Yes, we have a lot going on but we are trusting God and His timing.
Here are some recent pics of the kids: (what I am sure you really wanted to see). :)
