It's a BOY!



Today's ultrasound proved our suspicions correct: We will be having boy #3 in June! Chris is planning a sports team of some type (ha ha), and we are both preparing ourselves for lots of rough-housing, huge grocery bills, and a future filled with all things "boy."

So, this will make grandson #3 for Chris' mom, and #6 for my mom. It's a good thing that our younger sisters, Amanda and Tori, might some day give them granddaughters!

We are looking forward to getting together with my brother, Shawn, his wife Erin, and their three sons over the years. We figure that with six boys (all within a six year range), it will definitely be a free for all.

One more bonus: I won't have to change the name of my blog. :-)

Walt Disney World!


Daniel fell asleep waiting in line for the Buzz ride.









We traveled to Florida last week to visit Chris' mom and siblings. Unfortunately, all the shorts and tee-shirts we packed did not get much use! It was COLD! But, we did enjoy the sunshine, company, and lots of good food while we were there. (I'm sorry that I didn't get any pictures of family this year.) And, as always, the boys got spoiled by Grandma Jo and their aunts and uncles. :-)

On the way back home, we spent a day at Disney World. We hoped that January fourth wouldn't be too crowded, but we were wrong. The lines were long! Still, we enjoyed a beautifully sunny day, and were able to experience all the rides and attractions that we wanted.

The funniest story from our day involved Buzz Lightyear. We waited in line for a while to see him, and as we were waiting, I mentioned to Chris that I hoped he wouldn't leave before we got up to him. Chris said, "Nah. He'll be here for a while." To Nicholas' delight, (Daniel didn't want to touch Buzz, but was fine in my arms.) we got to see him and have our picture taken. BUT, as soon as we did, he walked away, leaving the rest of the people behind us to wait! Must've been our lucky day!!!
