Baby #2 Update

Went to the doctor last Thursday (Feb 9) and got to hear Baby's heart beat for the first time.
Barrett couldn't make it, so I recorded the moment! Such an amazing and wonderful sound!


Then we got an Ultrasound on the following Tuesday - it was called a 'first screen' test because they look at indications that could implicate a high risk of the baby have a few different genetic disorders, including Down Syndrome. Queenie went with me! So glad because ended up not finding  a sitter for LJ so she kept him busy while we all looked at the ultrasound! He kept saying "babeee, babeee"!

Results came back very good- no risk indicated from our first screen!

Trampoline Park

Went back to Trampoline Park on Sunday... LJ has gotten so much better and more confident - guess all the practice time on his little trampoline is paying off! Still so much fun for Dad...  And the Mamas finally get in on all the fun!  Last time we went I was VERY pregnant and couldn't jump... but not this time! I see a frequent Sunday family outing in our future! A little sliding time... And video gaming! Too much fun!!

Easter Celebrations, 2017

Image
We had a full week of celebrating Easter this year, and we really enjoyed ever part of it!  Our first event was our very favorite annual egg hunt at the McDonnell's house! We always start with a group shot of the kids as before they take off and start hunting (the only time we have true leverage!!)! What a cute group!  Ellie is bottom right corner, Evan is all the way right, 2 kids above Ellie, and LJ is back row 3rd from left! Ellie's faces crack me up!   Silly faces!   And the hunt is on!      Trying to keep Ellie hunting and not just opening each egg was quite a task!    Post-hunt: we sit and sort through all the treasured prizes found in the eggs!    Confetti egg time! Charley getting Uncle B!   Evan got me!    This swing is too fun!!! We may need to invest in one soon!   Love Piper and Ellie in their simi...

Boys' Fall Sports 2016- Flag Football

Image
The Undefeated Greenbay Packers! We found an awesome flag football coach through Neighborhood Sports. We met him at church one day, and he said he would make sure we got on his team if we wanted ... and we did!!! It was a Pre-K/ Kinder team, so both boys were able to play together! Evan was definitely the youngest on the team (and the most work for the coaches), but both boys really loved it.  Our team was the Greenbay Packers! Shout out to my cousin Ron!!!  We had two practices a week the week leading up to our first game, and then we had Friday evening practices and Saturday morning games. Unfortunately, this over-lapped with some T-ball games (which only LJ was playing), so LJ had to miss 2 football games this season.  The team got their picture taken early in the season, so the boys got theirs together and the team shot is below! Our first practices were SO hot! I was sweating just sitting there watching them!  Coach BB and Evan.....
