Announcing.....

One of the funnest parts of Valentine's Day was that we surprised our kids by telling them baby "5 is on the way! They were so excited! I guess I should say some of them were surprised. Somehow, Brenly has known for a few months. She told her nursery teachers two months ago that her "mommy had a baby in her tummy!" We were shocked! A few days later I went to the doctor and found out it's going to be a little girl! Brenly was even more excited. However, a couple days before, she found a little baby dress and brought it to me and said, "Mom, this is for the baby in your tummy" We need to listen to these little ones a lot more - they seem to know what's going on!Excitement after the announcement!

We made a vase of "flowers" for Grandma and Grandpa for Valentine's day. Each of the flowers had a picture of the kids, and then one of them had "#5" in the middle of it. So this new baby will be arriving sometime in the beginning of July (I'm due July7, but that never seems to mean too much!)
