Halloween Time

We are planning for Halloween. Samantha will be a ghost, Sarah is "Puss in Boots", Jason is a Pirate, and Jordan is our "Bob the Builder". The kids are so excited for the holiday. Sarah is counting down, because next is her birthday. The fact comes up repeatedly in conversation.

A side note: we have decided to name this Boy of ours Jared- and JT for short. What can we say when we get the kids names confused we want to be at least consistent with the first letter of their name at least. We can't go wrong.

Oh, Boy!

Yesterday we learned that with an absolute certainty we are having a boy. You know it is ironic that with the girls we were never quite sure- they always had their legs crossed and would move whenever we tried to determine it, but this little guy was just all boy. We are thrilled.

September 2007

It has been an amazing year! Already it is September and once again school has resumed. Sarah Started kindergarten, Samantha is in 2nd grade, and even Jason is in Preschool. Our schedule is busy and the kids are having such a great time with it all.

We will be able to find out the gender on our new expectation next week, I for one am so excited to be able to start planning for our 5th little one. We had some real disappointments in the past year with the miscarriages, but already this pregnancy is going so much smoother than previous times. The kids are also excited. February 8th is still a while off though. Samantha asked if she could help us name the baby. I guess we'll listen to her suggestions, but ultimately Dad usually makes the final call, at least that is how it always seems to be the result.

We'll keep you posted on what we learn next Tuesday.
