Our Star student!

Caeden was chosen as the star student this week for school and it started out with getting to bring Sniffy the classroom dog home for the weekend. :) Sniffy went everywhere Caeden went.
On Thursday, Daddy got to be the class reader and the kids loved the book Wombat Divine. Daddy did a great job reading and Caleb LOVED that he got to participate in Kindergarten and cried real loud when it was time to go.
Here Caeden and I played the "BIG 5" with his class. They asked each of us 5 questions about each other.... thumbs up for a correct answer with applause and a thumbs down with an aaaaa if we got it wrong. The pressure was on... but Caeden got 4 out of 5 correct about mommy and I got 5 out of 5 right about Caeden. We made a big poster about him, brought in special snacks and had a great week sharing our special boy with his class.

So.....

Here we are today at 19 weeks! Wearing blue and coral to support boy or girl in the ultrasound.
And here we are after we found out. Boys bending in to kiss their SISTER!!!
Yes! A princess will be joining our palace and we are all thrilled!!!! I had to get a pink "it's a girl balloon right after we found out. I was so excited to bring home pink right away. :)
Sweet Caeden came right out with his chalk in pink to write I love baby. Can you feel the love sister? :)

Lord, we are sooooo grateful for a healthy little girl in the womb! It was such a joy to "see" her today and all her cuteness growing. Ahhh the miracle of it all! Thank you, thank you Jesus!

Twas the Night Before....

I thought this was cute of Caleb hiding recently, asking us to come find him. :) We know he's in there but then there is the unveiling and we get to really see him. That's what it feels like in preparation for our ultra sound tomorrow afternoon. We can all see my belly growing and we are all excited with anticipation as to whether we will have 3 brothers or a girl to join our clan! A dear friend reminded me in a sweet email today that God is GREAT and WISE and PURPOSEFUL in all He does. Baby, we rejoice in your life today and SO look forward to "seeing" you tomorrow! We know the Lord has plans and purposes for your life that will be so amazing. He is developing you perfectly and wonderfully in my womb and we are grateful for the technology to have a sneak peak tomorrow. Boy or girl we love you already! Stay tuned for the announcement!

Caeden's Friend Party

Caeden wanted a night time dinner & costume party this year with his friends and we all had a blast! Here are our adorable guests!
He had so much fun making his cake to include all of his guests. :)
Caleb was so thrilled to be able to dress up and join the festivities! Cutest Spiderman and Batman around!

We ate pizza, had cake, wrestled, played games, and laughed the night away. Thank you to each of our guests for the very fun evening and thoughtful gifts! Happy 6th Birthday bud, we love you!
