We had my parents over for dinner.

Yeah!

I couldn't resist leaving the pictures up for so long. I love looking at them. Really quite amazing! Every time I look at them I realize just how blessed we are!

Update:
I am very excited to report that we are going to be developing our basement! We have some window people stopping by tomorrow to see if we should make the windows there bigger or add another one. It depends on what they say about the brick out front of the house. We are open to either, but adding another window would really brighten things up.

We need to clean up the basement a bit more. That will happen this weekend! Then we will be ready for what ever work to begin. I am very excited!

Baby number 4 is a GIRL!

We were not able to find out at our 18 week ultrasound the gender of the baby and we didn't get to take home any pictures. And those of you who know me well....the part of having no pictures would NOT go over well. So we decided to try a private ultrasound at 26 weeks. I really enjoyed the session and our whole family was there to find out together and see her for the first time.

We got some amazing pictures and the tech was 100% sure about the gender. I guess the baby being so many weeks older and bigger helps to see or not see what you need to.

We are very happy to be having another girl. I think it will be great for Sarah! They will be 21 months apart and having the two boys that close worked out so well! Plus it makes it quite a bit easier for the whole sharing of the room thing. Sarah's room was pink and I wasn't sure I would repaint anytime soon! We are feeling very blessed! Lots to be thankful for this Thanksgiving! I wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Jacob

Jacob is performing something at school. I wish I could go see! I guess I will have to send Daddy with a Camera!

Daddy is away...at least it is only for a few days at a time! But tomorrow could be my first attempt at getting the boys dressed for hockey. I say could be because I will be at an all day outside field trip for my own class tomorrow. I could be pretty tired, but I will decide tomorrow. I don't like to miss things....but that is a lot for one day and being 26 weeks pregnant.

Sarah is trying to say new words each day. I love that. She can say the word baby and points to my belly. Then she will give my belly a hug. It is quite cute....but I wonder what she will think when the baby is actually here?

I am just over half way to 40 weeks. Can't believe that already!!

Still getting things done around the house. A little by little each weekend. I finally got my favorite pictures hung up. Now I need to somehow find a matching frame for baby #4. Maybe Costco will get more in.

I am going to down load pictures and hopefully post some!

Until then....Have a great weekend!
