Life goes on

Here's the big secret of the year ..... we are having another baby!!!!  I am already in my second trimester, but thanks to Jared's hairbrained plan, we are just now telling everyone, our children included.  They are sooooo excited.... so far, the doctor (by looking at ultrasounds) thinks we're having (another) boy.  I had to switch to maternity pants yesterday (boooooo) so I guess it's about time the secret's out.  Baby is due February 9, which, ironically, is James's birthday.

We finally sold beasty minivan, and we are loving our new van.  Life is much happier with AC.

Joshy is recovering well from eye surgery.  He looks like a racoon and is happy to have a free pass to unlimited TV.  In six weeks we find out if the surgery was a success!  Wish us luck.

We are currently down on children, as Claire is in Connecticut with Grammy.  Tomorrow, Joshy leaves to spend the weekend in Stafford with Grandmother, and Jared and I will be relatively free of children for the weekend, with just Sweetsie James left.  Party at our house!!!!
