February Highlights

And in the title lies the problem. February doesn't really have any highlights. It's cold outside. Holidays are over. (Valentine's Day doesn't really count, because shouldn't you love your spouse EVERY day?) Spring seems very far away. So every morning, I open the curtains and look out at the dreary sky and anticipate what is coming.....

And we actually have more to anticipate than just spring. Baby #4 is on the way, due end of September/beginning of October. The boys are thrilled. Sophia is confused about why there is a baby in mommy's tummy and she can't see it. Eric is excited and proud. I'm often feeling a little under the weather and so doing less cooking and more sleeping. :) I'm also anxious to find a house for our growing family before we split the seams of our 2 bedroom duplex!

Please, spring, come quickly! We need your warm days and sunshine!

On a side note, the boys new favorite evening activity is to act out a Proverb. Eric chooses a Proverb and then the boys think of a way to act it out. They perform it for me and I try to guess what the Proverb is. They love it! And they're pretty good actors (although I can't imagine where they would get a talent like that). :)

Eeeeeeeeeeee...baby #4!!!!! Congrats! :) I'm so excited for you guys. I have been busting a gut laughing at your blog and then Dan asks me to read the highlights out loud. Rereading it makes me laugh out loud all over again. Caleb is one tough little cookie to hide a corn kernel in his nose for two months. We also are expecting again. We've made it to the second trimester (I'm 15 weeks) this time, for which we are so very thankful. If everything keeps progressing well, our little one should be here in early August.
Thanks for your hilarious blog entries! We have enjoyed the laughter break!! :)

Rejoicing w/ you. Would love to see those Proverbs skits. Peter is 32 today, but might need to postpone the family dinner. Still fighting the cold/cough/fever crud. Also eagerly looking forward to sunny, warm SPRING!!!!!

Congratulations again! We are excited, and the girls are hoping you have another girl. I think you need to videotape a Proverbs skit and post it here for us to guess!
