Carson's new thing...

Abby teaches Carson everything that she knows and the latest of these is "Einey Meany Miney Moe." Which is fine for him to learn except, it has taken over our lives. Carson insists on doing it for every simple decision that he has to make. It takes FOREVER and he always points to whatever he wanted in the first place. At first we thought it was darling...but it is kinda losing its flare. See for yourself. . .

We have had our share of Halloween parties already and we also carved all of our pumpkins. The kids dressed up as Superheroes and they love playing the part.

Ultrasound

We had our ultrasound today and I don't know if I am just getting older and more appreciative, but the whole thing is more and more amazing to me with each child. Both kids came with us and they were so excited the whole time. They both could actually see the baby (even though I wasn't sure if they'd understand) and they giggled at all of the images.

Well, everything was healthy and . . .

IT"S A BOY!! I wouldn't normally think about putting this picture on the blog, but it was SO funny in the ultrasound room. The lady was out-right laughing and just couldn't stop taking picture (I think we ended up with about 31- no joke!). He was just spread eagle!! And it almost seemed as if he had an itch at times. (we have pictures of that too!) It was just really funny, but needless to say, we are having a boy. We are so excited now that it all seems so real. Abby was a little disappointed I think, but as soon as we told her that she would just have to be the only princess for now; she was just fine with that! Carson is excited to have a brother and he basically knew it all along.

Ok, ok. . .I have been told that I should start a blog and finally my friend/sister-in-law Amy has talked me into actually doing it. So, here it is.

Just to catch up on all of us. . . Abby just turned five a couple of weeks ago and subsequently moved into her new bedroom downstairs. We were a little nervous, but she was all for it! She had a great birthday, which included a makeover party with all of her friends. Abby told us that it was a "dream come true", yep! She is a little dramatic.

Carson is two and a half and he is just as active as ever. His most dramatic moment lately was in July, when he had his two front teeth removed due to a fall he had the previous year. It didn't bother him at all, in fact, he hardly even noticed.

Chad and I are doing great! Chad was just promoted to the manager of the DNA section at the Crime Lab, and I am going to stay home with the kids after this school year is over and just after the baby arrives in March (which we will be finding out next week what we are having, so stay tuned!).
