BIG news and lots of pictures!

Hey Everyone!! Sorry for the delay in updates, we've been busy around here! I just realized that we never made an official announcement on here, so here it is....

Kathryn and Kimberly are going to be BIG Sisters!! :)

Yup, its true! Kathryn and Kimberly are going to be big sisters! The expected due date is 11/11/08...just 5 days after the girls turn 2. We don't know if its a boy or girl yet, but expect to find out sometime in early July. We are alll very excited about the addition. We're not sure the girls really understand whats going to happen, but if you ask them where Mommy's Baby is they will rub my belly and give the baby kisses. This pregnancy has been kinda rough so far, but hopefully things are starting to turn around. It seems like the morning sickness has gone away, and as long as Mommy takes it easy and doesn't over do it (yeah right...with 2 toddlers in the house?!) then things are ok.

The girls got some practice at being big sisters a few weeks ago when Briana and Scott came down to visit with Elijah and Abigail. (Mommy and Daddy even got to take a 2 night trip all by themselves!!). The first set of pictures is from their visit:

Kimberly loved holding Abigail

Kathryn wasn't so sure about it at first

But Mommy...why can't Elijah sleep in my bed with me?

"We promise we didn't do anything we weren't supposed too."

"Yup, you're growing, but you're still not as tall as me!"

How do you entertain 3 toddlers? Why you give them bowls
of water and measuring cups and spoons.

Abigail says "Kimberly please share some with me, it looks so much tastier then my bottle!"

Kathryn says "Who needs a spoon, thats why I have hands!"

Snack time with a video

Here Abigail let me show you how to bounce in that thing.

"Come on in Elijah and join me for some tea!"

Even Abigail could join in on playing outside in the swings

Lets ride the horse!

Come on Scott...can't you hold all 4 kids at once?

Kathryn and Kimberly really enjoyed their playmates and can't wait until we can all play together again! Mommy and Daddy say THANK YOU VERY MUCH for our weekend away, we had a great time!!!

Now, here are some random pictures of the girls, I hope you enjoy!

Helping Mommy make Brownies

Trying to figure out how to use Daddy's tools

Kimberly decided she wanted to help pay bills

Helping Daddy wash the van

Of course the driveway needed washed too

And then we had to rinse off by playing in the sprinkler

We hope you enjoyed all the pictures!! Have a great day! :)
