Today: I forgot my anniversary. Scott did too. It is our 10th (kind of a big one). Whoops. At least both of us forgot and one of us didn't look insensitive. We laughed so hard when my mom called to say "congratulations". So Scott hurried and called grandma Susan to save the day and we went to dinner with no kids. Not bad.
Maybe one of the reasons we forgot our anniversary was today was because we celebrated last month by going to Oahu, Hawaii:
Yep, we took our kids. We went with Scott's parents too. It was great fun. We packed our days with as much fun as we could. I think we went to a different beach everyday. The flights were tough, but worth it.
The day we got home, we went to the doctor for our ultrasound to check on the new baby. We were thrilled to hear that it is a girl!
A GIRL!
If you ask me in person, I almost can't say it without giggling. I just love the idea that Elle will have a buddy in her family just like the boys do. Especially after watching Davis and Cam play in Hawaii, I think I am more excited. Hopefully they will get along.
My sweet boys gave me a Mother's week instead of a Mother's Day. They gave me sweet little surprises everyday that week- it was so nice. On Friday, the second graders hosted "Muffins for Moms"; a program where they sang songs and spent the afternoon with us. I cried, of course. I am not sure if the pregnancy played into that, but it was still super cute.
For Mother's Day I made a calendar (with the help of my super talented friend Christina) for my mom and mother-in-law. I asked Kim and Jana for pictures to help me make the calendar for Susan. Kim sent me this one of the whole family from her wedding in March. I realized that I haven't posted about this significant event in our family. Kim and Shawn are a great couple- together they have 4 girls. We are so excited for them.
Easter was a lot of fun this year with all of the girls. Our boys have decided that girls are taking over the family (and we are doing our part- yahoo!).
