And Gummy Bear Makes Four!

So, the doctor showed us the new baby on the ultrasound screen telling us that pip (that's what we call them before we know what the sex is) looked like a gummy bear.

After looking at the photos, we just had to agree with him!

Becky is 9 weeks 2 days pregnant today.

We told the girls yesterday.  Little Sister is beside herself with excitement, but Big Sister is acting too cool :)

Enjoy the pics!

Kids Say The Darndest Things

So, we were at a friends' house weekend before last and the little sister came out of her friends' bedroom with a dress up wedding veil on her head. She said "Look Mommy, I can see through this veil." I looked at her wondering what she was talking about and said "Well, yeah, honey, most veils are see through." Whereupon she replied, "No Mommy, We learned that in olden times, you couldn't see through veils." I looked at her puzzled and said that they had always been see through, and she corrected me again... "No Mommy, in my Sunday School class, they told me that the veil wasn't. You couldn't see through it."
It took me a minute to realize that she was talking about the veil in the temple! How cute! Good to know that she is paying attention in Sunday School. I really treasure these moments Praise the Lord for these times!!

Another funny moment happened a while ago when we started homeschooling. The little sister was mad about being homeschooled and thought it was some sort of torture we were putting her through. One night the little man was having a rough time and was crying and fussing alot. I looked at Daddy and said "He's been like this alot today, I don't know what his problem is!" Then little sister said "Well, He probably found out that he's gonna be homeschooled, that's why."
I laughed SO hard. PRICELESS!!!

Update Time!

A lot has happened since the last post. I will write the post and then add the pictures to go with it. Shawn and Becky actually got to go on a date:
Thanks to some friends, we got to head to The Factory and eat and visit the batting cages.
Becky's sister came to stay with us for about a week. We thought that she was going to stay with us for a while and get on her feet, but she decided to go back to the town in which she was living.
Grandma and Papa came to visit. We had lots of fun with them while they were here. We visited Aunt D's house and spent a lot of time at the pool.
This summer we have spent a lot of time at the pool. Until last week, we were spending an hour a day at the pool. The little guy and his sisters loved the water and mommy often had to leave with them begging (and the little one screaming) to stay. Because of being there frequently, Little sister has learned to swim without plugging her nose, under water. Big sister is now able to swim from one short side of the pool to the other. The little guy has actually learned how to swim with floaties on and actually would prefer to have them off. Unfortunately, we had an incident where the life guard was not watching him (our family was the only one at the pool and he was the only one that couldn't swim) in the pool, we no longer feel comfortable leaving him on the stairs without his floaties.
Big Guy and Little Guy found a toad! One night we were outside picking weeds and a big toad was jumping through the grass. Daddy caught it but the little guy was not fond of touching it. We eventually talked him into barely touching it. So funny!
