We are so excited to announce that baby bird is a BOY!! We are so very excited to know what he is now!! Its crazy to think we are having a boy! It makes it so much more fun and real!! Now we are just getting ideas for the nursery and picking out a ton of fun clothes for his arrival! This is a video of baby bird waving his hand on the right side(of the screen) like crazy and kicking mommy a ton!! He is such a wiggle worm and lets mommy know he is their all the time!!

April

Matt and Dallas up against Carsten and I.  The cars are only made for kid size people.
Our pre-game Easter lineup.  At this point they didn't know I had hidden any eggs.  They just thought we needed to find our baskets for the well-known bunny to use the next morning.


Hello family!  I thought I'd post some recent pictures from us.  Everything is growing like crazy here.  The grass, the garden, the kids, and my belly.  I won't post any pictures of the latter.  We have had a busy and fun April.  We even pulled out the croquet set, thanks Amy and Peter!  Just think 4 rowdy munchkins with wooden sticks.  We had a great time.  I had a few less plants in the back yard thanks to Dallas' beating, but it was a good, competitive game.  James and I only have a couple weeks left of course work!!!  Just a few more meals of oatmeal for dinner and breakfast, just a few more overnight homework sessions!  Can you tell I'm excited?

Spring in Kentucky

This is a little of what we have been up to the last few weeks.

We had a great Easter with gorgeous weather. We have been playing outside every day and the weather just keeps getting better. Maren had her 2nd birthday. I made her a red rabbit carrot cake and she loved it. I got my hair cut and am still getting used to the bangs. I haven't had any since I was about 8. Marie has been entertaining us all with her seal like moves all over the floor. She is such a happy sweet baby.

Thunder is Saturday so there is still time to hit the road before the big show if anyone wants to come.

Visitors Welcome

It is April again. Which means Derby Days in Louisville. We always have lots of fun watching Thunder and the Air Show. There are many other activities like concerts, hot air balloons, marathons and much much more all leading up to the big race on May 1. We would love to have any and all of you come join us for some fun. The derby museum has been redone as well so everything is ready and waiting for some visitors. We are only 8 hours from Springfield so it is very dueable for a long weekend trip and it is easy interstate all the way. I know you all want to come.



If you can't make it this month there is lots to do year round including museums, ball games, caveing, 6 Flags, the zoo and the Temple.... So keep us in mind when you find yourself with time off. We wont be back home until July and I am missing family like crazy. Hope you all are enjoying Spring as much as we are.
