Happy 5th Birthday William

Wow!  Time flies with these kids.  

It is so much fun watching them grow up - just wish it was slower.  

William loved celebrating his birthday with his grandma Leman and Mema Marilyn, Aunt Felisa, Garrett and Nico.  He also made sure anyone he ran into knew it was his birthday and he could do what ever he wanted to do.  He definitely had a birthday attitude today!

Jack helping Grace...

I was in the shower and Grace had gotten hungry.  

Jack said, Grace started sucking on my checks and it really hurt at first but then it went numb".  I asked him why he didn't stop and he said, "she stopped crying".

First Mema to arrive...

Mema Dunbar has just gotten here for your awesome help with the boys tomorrow and Grandma Leman is coming tomorrow it add extra hands.  The boys are just on cloud nine and it is like the night before Christmas here.  It is crazy though, how the reality of what is to happen tomorrow hasn't set in yet for both Tim or I.  In fact, this weekend Tim wanted to know why I put Nicolas' car set in the truck for him and was wondering when they were coming to town to hang out with me and the boys.  I reminded him it was for our baby. We both just started laughing and he add, "that's right we are having a baby any day now".  

40 Weeks Today

Today is the end of another great pregnancy and we are so thankful for it.  We are eagerly waiting for her arrival, but it isn't time to meet her yet.  It is another quiet day and she is enjoying her quiet space, since I'm sure she is aware of her two little brothers and the entire family wanting to hold, hug and kiss her.  Oh, and pinch her cheeks and finally know her name!!  

Now we'll keep on waiting for Tuesday unless she decides to surprise us with her own plan of arrival.

A gift from baby sister

Baby sister gave the boys a tree house to play in.  

We took the existing play set and redid the upper part by adding a roof, two levels and closing it in.  Tim also added a pulley system for them to put things in there and solar lighting to play in at night.  They have been playing in it since it was done and love it.  

The only thing they are asking now is when can we sleep outside in it and can we have a tv.

I asked them if they were going to put up a sign that read...

He-man Woman Haters like the Little Rascals.

How we are spending our days...

We have been playing in the sun almost every day (weather permitted) waiting on her arrival.  We have 8 days to go unless she decides to do her own entrance.

William took this photo of me sun bathing.
