Guess I Should Mention...


We wanted to say Happy Father's Day to Melvin (and to my dad and his dad, too, of course, and all the other fathers that we know). Hope everyone had a nice day.



Audrey made Melvin this craft at preschool for his Father's Day gift. It is supposed to be displayed on his desk, so it is currently sitting right next to the computer here. Pretty cute, and Melvin really does rock, in case you were wondering. The kids sure love their daddy.

If you look, you will notice that there are four little rocks representing the children. Yep, we're expecting another, due November 3. We told Audrey about it maybe a week before she made this project. She made sure not to forget "the new baby" in her project.

I had an ultrasound last Tuesday and now anytime Audrey refers to the baby she says, "my baby sister." So the technician had better be right that it's a girl or she'll have Audrey to answer to.

Now, I know that those of you who comment on this blog are too nice to say otherwise, but if you have anything other than "congratulations" to say, then keep it to yourself! I have heard all of the "you'll be busy," "you're brave," "what were you thinking?" type of comments that I can stomach. Yes, this baby was planned! And yes these are all my kids! Yes, maybe I am crazy, but that's none of your business! Okay, I'm done with the ranting. Sorry about that.

Anyway, we're very happy, Audrey's excited to have a sister, and for all of you who are curious, I'm feeling great.

I don't think you're crazy at all! In fact I'm glad you're having more children. It's a special blessing for children to be raised in such a wonderful home - you should definitely take advantage of that!

Now when you're pregnant with child #13 then we might begin to wonder....:)

Love your guts!!!

Thanks for the laugh! Sorry you're getting harrassed lately! However, we think it's great! I can't wait to see the little cutie. And, I REALLY hope that sonographer was right...maybe we should look up her phone number online just as a precaution incase she's wrong come November. Audrey will NOT be happy! Love you!
