Halloween

4-8 weeks and counting!

I know, a little overboard right? The whole 4-8 weeks thing. I never know what to tell people. I have gone 2-3 weeks late with the last 3 babies so I always plan on that, but I guess if God wanted to have a lot of mercy on me I could happily and safely have my baby in 4 weeks, yeah!

Yes the baby ticker at the top of the blog is off by 4-5 days.

S0 4-8 weeks, ahh.

Are we ready? Heck no.

I have never experienced as much anticpation and joy yet as the great moments awaiting another birth, yet the situation of 4 kids all 5 and under is frightening. Still, how incredibly blessed are we.

This weekend we gave the kids haircuts, always a gruelling experience in the backyard with a lot of tears and hair crusted lollipops. After the haircuts, or was it before...came the pumpkin carving with Daddy.

Today after Mass and time at the local bookstore for coffee and story time we headed off to Natural Bridges where Trisha has been suggesting. We were so proud of how quiet our boys were whispering and walking slow along the bridge so as not to scare the Monarch butterflies who make their home there from now until March. Played at the beach afterwards and the kids got to fly their new fighter plane kite.

Hope you all had a great weekend, and a great big hello to our families, especially Eileen's brother and sister in law that they have a safe time on their trip to Japan where they just arrived.

Happy Birthday Therese!

Happy Birthday to our beautiful daughter, you bring us so much joy.
