The Waiting is the Hardest Part

Last week we found out we would be adding another boy to the mix. 3 boys.... as we say in my house, "you are a brave little piglet." Anyway, for those of you that thought I would cry, I can't tell you how totally okay I am. I just can't believe there is another little boy up in heaven, witnessing the chaos of this house, that STILL wants to be part of this family. ( Maybe the girls aren't brave enough.) I saw fingers and toes and a "cute" little profile. ( I say "cute" because who can really tell in an ultrasound?) But judging from our others, he's probably cute. Eli wants to name him Deigo, Wyatt wants to name him Chihuahua. Lets just say his parents have different ideas.

Notice the horse

This morning as we looked across the street we started to get worried our neighbors might have a mob problem, that is if Eli is involved. He left his horse all night on their front porch as a reminder to Bari (the cute 11 year old girl across the street) that he is available to play. All of us chuckled to see it. I haven't discussed the issue with our neighbors yet. I'm pretty sure they know who any random toys on their front porch would come from, but just in case they are scared, I might mention it when they come home from work.

Last week the boys and I went outside and started on all the raking we should do very soon. Of course the boys ended with wrestling, I went in and made dinner. We are getting excited for the holidays. The weather has been so warm. Kind-of weird. Blame global warming, I guess.

growing up

Jason has of lately been obsessed with his new mustache. The funny thing is, he has to use my mascara before anyone can even see he has hair there. We tease that he may be growing up after all.
I find it humorous that after 7 years of marriage he might be growing up really... and getting a little wiser too. There was an incident Jason was in yesterday where my emotions would have taken control and it probably wouldn't have been good for anyone. He handled it well. He thought through the whole scenario before acting, and although I know he could have won, it wasn't the time. I appreciate him for taking care of our little family, for being the rock when I need him to be, and sometimes not listening to my emotional reactions.
I have always known there were lots of things I need him to do better than I could, and its nice to have him in the world slaying our dragons. Thanks, hon.

Update

My computer has been a little freakish lately so we are trying to back everything up to reload and I haven't posted for awhile. Halloween was okay, Wyatt was sick so we didn't get many pictures of him. We have all been kind-of sick, just getting by, but hopefully we are on the mend. I saw the doctor last Friday, everything seems good with the new baby. We are waiting to do all the major tests until next year so we will be applying everything to the new deductible. So I won't know boy or girl until January. Like it will change. Other than that, we are cleaning out and voting, taking kids to school etc. today. Hope its good.
