Surprise!

Surprise!  I am posting!  Today I found my camera battery that has been lost since the move on May 1.  I haven't taken any pictures since then.  No pictures, you say, how can you READ this?  Well, we'll just have to move forward now that I have my camera by my side again. 

We are loving the new house.  It is so spacious and the possibilities are endless.  Kindergarten starts in three weeks and seeing as it's only 3 hours long, I think it's going to be relatively free from adjustments, for me.  The boys will be a little overwhelmed by so many other kids and such a strict schedule, I think, but they are very ready for school.  Michael was looking forward to the science experiments.  Sadly, I don't think they do much of that in kindergarten so I think I'll be busy keeping him learning at home in the afternoons.  He is so curious. 

Another surprise, I am 10 weeks pregnant without any visit to the doctor's office.  May was a big month around here.

We have wanted another baby but after being on bed rest so long with Anna we were worried that my back and fitness level haven't improved as much as we would have liked and so we thought we might just be done.  I was willing to make the sacrifice of having another but I felt like I couldn't ask Josh and the kids to make that kind of a sacrifice again - with me on bed rest Josh has to be Mr. Mom and the kids are fairly neglected.  Lo and behold, the Lord has shown us that we can have another one and I'm not the one asking the family to sacrifice - He is.  I am thrilled.  I am also sick.  But that passes.

So.  Big news.  It's a full year for our family with the move, kindergarten, and a baby due in February.  See why I haven't posted in so long?

I actually first found out about this on Mary and eddies caringbridge post but then had to excitedly come to your blog to read and make sure it was true (and see if there were any pictures of you). Congrats to you and the family!!! I'm hoping for a sweet girl like Anna!! (but don't want to put too much pressure on her to be so cute :). Let us know if you guys are ever in Utah this year we'd love to see you!!
