Pawnee Prarie Park

There is this towing company here in Wichita that has a Mater look-alike. He is actually used as a tow truck, too. We had to get a picture with him!

There is this nature preserve park called Pawnee Prarie that isn't too far from us. It is a park where you really get to see wild animals just wandering around. Lily has no fear, so she decided she was going to go get her a deer.

Lily is definitely a cheeser. She is caught in the act here.

The three kiddies hanging out on the bridge.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Caleb thinks he looks "really like a girl" in this. So, I don't think Riverdancing is in his future. (*sigh* = Rob is relieved!)

Zippity Doo Da, Zippity Ay

My, oh my what a wonderful day! I just got the results of my glucose test from the Doctor. I don't have gestational diabetes!!! Yeah!!! After having it with my last pregnancy, I thought for sure I would have a repeat. Not only am I okay, but I don't even have to take the 3-hour glucose test. (Which I had to take for the first three pregnancies.) I can't begin to describe how happy that makes me. Carbs, allow me to re-introduce myself.....

Dodging a Bullet

Somehow we've done it again. We made it through the latest (and hopefully last) layoffs at Cessna for a while. I was really sweating this round. Especially because if we had been laid off, Rob's last day would have been April 30th....8 days before I am scheduled for a C-Section. Luckily, we don't have to worry about that right now. I don't know what the future may hold, but at least we can get through the baby with insurance for now. Whew!!! Thank you to everyone who helped us with your positive thoughts and prayers.

Piggies

I am lucky to have another daughter, because no amount of begging will persuade Paige to let me paint her toenails! Lily, on the other hand, loves her pink toes.

Since we were going for a theme, we had to do the hair in piggies too. She looked soo cute. I love little piggies on little girls.

Ladies and Gentlemen....We Have a Date!

I just got back from a doctor's appointment with some great news. I was asking him how far along I had to be in order to have a scheduled c-section. He said at least 39 weeks, do you want to go ahead and schedule it today? DUH! Of course I do. So, May 8th is the day. That makes me exactly 39 weeks. Thanks Dr. Brown! This will make scheduling with the other kiddies soo much easier. That makes it 13 weeks from tomorrow...yikes!

Kiddie Update

I haven't been very good at posting pics of the kids; or taking them for that matter. Here are some that we've done recently:

This is the result of Lily's first head-on collision with the corner. She got a lovely little line bruise, but took it like the tough guy that she is.

Kansas celebrated its birthday on January 29th, so Caleb's preschool had a cowboy dress up day. He was sooo excited.

I know some of you may wonder why I dressed my daughter up as Axl Rose, but the truth is that she was just going for a 1960's look. It was spirit week at school and this was her interpretation. Looks like we may have our Halloween costume for next year.
