And we have some news

Things are a wee bit crazy around our house these days :) April was a busy month - my dad visited, we had our 7 year anniversary, my mom moved to town and we had Easter dinner at our house just to name a few. And last weekend we had another party when Chris threw me a surprise party for my birthday! It has definitely been a whirlwind! Of course I'm always looking ahead so we are excited to have my brother visit in a couple weeks as well as the girls birthdays are just around the corner and we have our first big family vacation in June to the Riviera Maya in Mexico.

I can't believe Katelyn is going to be 1 year old in less than a month. Hard to believe! She is such a little character right now. Here are some of her favorite pastimes: Playing with doors/cabinets opening and closing them 100 times in a row, pushing her walker, chasing the cat. Favorite food: chicken and cheese. Favorite phrase: uh oh (which she will say continually until you acknowledge that she dropped something just for you to pick up). She also recently started giving very sloppy kisses and shaking her head. It's so fun to see what new little things she is going to pick up this week.

Maya is in dance classes right now on Saturdays which she really enjoys. We don't get to watch class so I'm anxious to see her recital in a couple weeks. Then I'm sure we'll do some swim lessons for the summer and at her daycare she'll finally be old enough to go on all the field trips they take which should keep her entertained for the summer. There is Kindergarten Kick-Off next week at the schools and I'm sure fall will be here before we know it.

And last but not least, we had a surprise recently that definitely threw our world into a bit of shock - we found out that we are expecting again and we will be adding to our family again in November! I am 13 weeks along already. I just hope the rest of this pregnancy goes as fast as the past 13 weeks have gone. You all know how whiney I get when I'm miserable and pregnant. LOL. If it wasn't past my bedtime I'd upload my latest ultrasound picture onto here but I'm tired so it'll have to wait for next time. But trust that I am most definitely not
trying to pull a fast one on you. There really is a new baby on board!

Here are some pictures for you. Videos will have to be next time too...goodnight!
