Old School Play!!!

Papa Ric helped build the box with Brian!



Brian and I talk often about our childhood days digging in the dirt. We were entertained for hours and hours. Emmi has loved digging in our flower gardens, so to finally put a stop to that her daddy finally decided to build her a sweet sandbox in the backyard.

"It may be the sweetest sandbox you have ever seen", Brian would say. It is 8x8 and has a bench surrounding the entire box. It doesn't entertain Emmi for hours yet, but she will sit in there and play for a good while. In her words....."I love it Daddy".

P.S. If your at all saying to yourself "what about the cats?" My answer. I remember as a kid coming across that random piece of cat poo and that stench of pee, but we dug it out and kept on playing. And I am still here to tell about it. I'm not too worried. That is why I call it OLD SCHOOL PLAY!!! We didn't worry much about stuff then.

Awesome sandbox!

Oh, and the 3 kid thing. . .Ah! I don't know if I am quite ready to tackle it, but we wanted number 3! It hasn't really set in yet. I haven't felt great, but definitely better then the previous 2 (other then then fatigue is way worse. . .I'm sure that has nothing to do with 2 little ones at home:) I get my US in 2 weeks (but we aren't finding out the sex).

Lucy's Birth

Today I am going to sit down and take the time to journal Lucy's birth story.  My feelings are still so fresh and I want to remember my experience forever.  When I found out I was pregnant with Lucy I had feelings of apprehension and fear.  I wasn't ready for another baby nor was Brian to say the least.  I actually kept the news to myself for weeks, till I could no longer keep it to myself.  I knew that I had to keep working to keep the family afloat and if there were any complications we could not survive without my income.  Lots of prayers were said to keep this baby inside me so I could take care of our family and house.  To say the least my prayers were answered and this was the most smooth sailing pregnancies yet.  I was able to work part-time and at the end go full-time, and actually Brian and I were able to travel to Europe for 2 weeks when I was 24 weeks pregnant. Sweet! Since the day I told Brian I w...

I have "KIDS"

So, I find myself tripping out at the thought that I now have 2 kids. I was completely freaking out before baby Jack arrived due to the fact that I feel like Emmi is a handful and I can't imagine doubling that work. To get myself to calm down I would just tell myself, "everyone does it, right?" Well, to say the least it hasn't been a breeze so far. I am handling the baby fine. Yeah, some sleep deprivation, but Emmi has been a complete "2 year old" nightmare. I believe she is loving her baby brother, although she thinks that smothering, hitting, poking, jumping near his head, yelling in his ear, and collapsing to the floor everytime she doesn't get her way at that moment seems to be a good way to get attention. YIKES!!! My patience is wearing thin. I would LOVE any advice on handling two kids and most importantly handling a 2 year old with a new sibling. This is innocent Emmi loving her brother at the moment

Reality Check

Holy Cow.......Brian and were just relaxing on the couch enjoying some Christmas music, our Christmas tree and lighted mantle with the stockings hanging.  We had a reality check when we saw 5 stockings hanging.  We are almost a family of 5.  Wow.......pinch me!  We are getting so excited to welcome our newest 5th member of the family. It's amazing what two people can accomplish in 10 years.
