The kids were so excited this morning. Ben ran downstairs and said "Mom, I don't see the Easter Bunny anywhere!"... Sam found a note from Mr. E. Bunny. I must say... Mr. E did a great job hiding the eggs and leaving a cute note for the boys.
Egg hunt and yummy brunch at Gail's house with cousins!
Maybe a little too much chocolate...
So crazy what technology can do these days. We had the big ultrasound on Friday and everything looks good and the baby is measuring right on track. We were also surprised to find out we are having a girl this time! Sam was so excited - he has been asking for a baby sister. I told him the news after school and his response was something like "YEAH! YEAH! YES, YES, YES! It IS a girl!!"
The boys wanted to try gum the other day. Sam changed his mind before he even put it in his mouth. Here is Ben trying to decide what he thinks. He chewed it for about 30 seconds and then wanted to "put it down in my tummy".
The boys are playing with my parents this weekend while Brian and I are away at the beach. We are staying at Tyee Lodge in Newport - a cute little bed and breakfast we have visited once before. This is the view from our room. Brian is asleep at the moment - soon we will head down to the beach and explore. In the meantime I am watching the clouds roll in and enjoying the sound of the waves. Doesn't get much better than that.
Ben found an old Walkman today and loved listening to music with his "earpumps"... I tried to tell him they are earphones, but he wasn't buying it.
The kids and I drove over to the beach yesterday to see friends and play. It was great weather!
We stopped at Bridal Veil and hiked down to the falls... they did awesome! Neither one complained or asked for help!
We only saw a few other people and the sun even came out.
The both loved the falls and Ben made sure to jump in every puddle we passed.
We are going on week 3 of remodeling our master bathroom. It is slowly coming together! It was nice to see the 80s light fixtures, gold accents, and beige toilet go. The tiling is almost done and we are hoping the cabinets we ordered arrive this week. Here are a few pix of the process...
New tub and shower pan in... sheet rock going up.
Old mirrors, lights and cabinets gone.
Tile starting to go down.
Getting closer!
this one wants a sister...
this one wants a brother... all I know is I am looking BIG with 5 months to go!
Tonight was the Oak Hills Science Fair and Sam was very excited to show off his project. I was a little nervous when the evaluator started grilling him with all kinds of questions... but he spoke right up and did great. Good job buddy!
