A Whole New Family!!!

Coming this November a fifth member of our family will arrive!! We are all very excited.

This pregnancy so far has been TOTALLY different than my other two. With both boys I felt good most of the time -just a little tired. But, this go round, I have felt sick most of the time. We're thinkin' it's gotta be a girl this time. Ben has talked about a "baby sister" before he even knew a baby was coming. But, ya never know; we'll just have to see.

Joe really wants a girl, but I'm a little nervous. I've done okay with boys -how would I do with a girl? I go back and forth from okay with the idea to totally scared. It's a whole new world! Yet, little dolls and dresses around the house and watching Joe play Barbies are pretty cute thoughts. I'll be happy with either, but I'm a little nervous.

Joe and I also have different tastes in names, and we haven't talked too much about names yet -so, if anyone had any suggestions, we'll be happy to consider any~for boys or girls.

Amazing Parks!

St. G. has some of the best parks I have seen! I have made a goal to visit every park this spring and summer to find our favorites! So far this "green park" is at the top of the list. It's incredible, and has sooo much to do -I couldn't post all the pics of everything available, but it is just awesome.


Here's a small glimpse of one side of the park. Cute and great for my boys' ages.
There are a few bouncy toys like the dinosaurs. Awesome slides everywhere!

Lots of physically challenging things to climb! This park wears 'em out!

Ben can climb this wall like a pro....it's fun to watch and he loves the adventure.

It's huge! And this is only one side of the park.

This is another park we visited months ago -it's so crazy and interesting. It's hard for me to describe...it's science-y! Most is too big for the boys to do by themselves, but we helped them and they loved it.

A rope bridge to a cave or a slide! Fun -where was this when I was little?!

I love LOVE St. G. It has just been wonderful -the parks make life a lot of fun. Love it!
