Happy Green!!!

Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone!! This is a short update - nothing big to report. I do have pictures on my camera, they just haven't made it to the computer yet. We have been enjoying some nice spring weather - and after a week of rain our snow is now gone as well. Going from almost two feet of snow to nothing in one week really pushes the spring fever into overdrive!! The boys have been loving being outside - but Ty likes to wander to the neighbors yards/driveways or worse yet, the street - and now that he's so mobile, he's running faster than I can waddle behind him! Thankfully Pete is on Spring Break this week and has been a HUGE help around the house. I am having a hard time moving around now and tasks that once seemed so simple can now quickly send me into contractions or pain where muscles have torn. Things with baby still seem to be going well - next Dr appointment is on Friday. Less than a month to go and we will meet this little one! My parents came for a visit this last weekend and my dad was flipping a quarter to determine the baby's gender. After the first flip, he decided to try two out of three, then three out of five, then four out of seven, etc. He finally stopped after ten flips - all heads - deciding that the quarter MUST know baby's gender since the probability of ten straight heads is not very likely. To know if heads was for a boy or a girl, you must stay tuned until baby is born!! It is uncomfortable to sit at the computer for very long, so when I am more ambitious, I will post some more pictures. For now, thank you for your prayers on our behalf!

Into March we go!!

We are trying to keep up as things just keep going here. The weather is warming, but we still have a lot of snow. We have tried to take advantage of the warmth and get some fresh air - and usually end up with two soaked, mud-covered and cold little boys. I have been spending time getting the baby's room ready, washing clothes and putting them away. It has sparked quite a few interesting conversations with Drew - he's such a funny kid sometimes. One afternoon while playing in the snow Pete put the boys up in the tree in the front yard for pictures. Drew loved it, but Ty wasn't too impressed. I think most of it he just doesn't like being all bundled up. It's too restricting!!Ty is growing so fast. It's hard to believe that he is now older than Drew was when Ty was born!! He seems so little/young! He has a big awakening coming when this next one arrives!

If you ask Drew where the baby is, you will get a long answer - Ty has no clue!!! Drew has already asked if he can help take care of the baby, give baby hugs, rock baby and hold baby. A couple of times after I thanked him for the big hug he corrected me: "No mommy. Hugging Drew's baby!" At least Mommy gets the kisses on the cheeks still!! Lastly, a few pictures of story time. The second picture is blurry, but I love both the boys' expressions in it!! Who thought animal sounds could be so funny!
