A preview of our new addition to the family

On Monday, we got to see a video and 3D pictures of our soon to be new addition to the family. Before the scheduled appointment, our little man decided to take a nap. I was worried at first that he would be sleeping but he woke up just in time to say hello. He kept grabbing the umbilical cord and playing with it. Several times we caught him grabbing his foot and trying to suck on it. He opened his eyes and grinned for us. It was so amazing. We were not able to get very many good shots since he kept moving the umbilical cord in front of his face and since he kept moving so much that it was difficult for the technician to focus. However, we enjoyed seeing the little guy. Kayla was able to look on the big screen TV and see her baby brother. That was neat. Several times she pointed and said "Baby!" Barbara, Jon's mother, came with us. She really enjoyed seeing her future grandchild. I am glad she was able to share this experience with us.

I cant believe in less then 10 weeks, a new addition to our family will be here. I don't know if I am more excited or scared. A two year old and a new born...what was I thinking. I know that it will be wonderful and I am looking forward to all the adventures we have ahead of us.

Kayla's favorite past times...

Last week, we finally purchased a tree swing for Kayla. She absolutely loves it. I have caught her several times during the past week sneaking out the doggy door so that she can sit in her swing. If she is not in her swing, she can then be found with her bubble machine. Yes, blowing bubbles and swinging are the two things that occupy our time regardless if it is rain or shine. Yesterday, it rained ALL day. Kayla tried to run out to her swing a couple times. She made it half way once before I called her back in drenching wet. Instead, we sat on the front porch for a little over an hour (and 4 bottles of bubbles) blowing bubbles. This morning as Kayla was stirring, I over heard her cry out as she was half awake, "Buubbless." Too cute. Hopefully , I can get some pictures this weekend of her with her bubble maker.

Let me help Daddy!

I'm ready. Swing me high!

Weekend at Rockport

March 1st was Uncle Bill's birthday. Jon, Kayla, Uncle Jerod and I packed up the car late Thursday night and drove down to Rockport to visit. Kayla did really good in the car. We did not leave until 8:45p.m. Uncle Jerod and Jon got to catch up during the 3 hour drive while the two girls snoozed in the back. The weekend was filled with lots of chasing Kayla around and some relaxation. Kayla's two pass times while at Uncle Bill's was driving the golf cart and swinging. By the end of the weekend, Kayla learned how to turn the key to the golf cart, put it in forward and press the gas. That was the end of that. Saturday while Jon and Kathy (Jon's cousin) played a game of tennis, Opa, Uncle Jerod, Kayla and myself went down to the Rockport beach. We had a great time. Kayla loved the water and enjoyed making a mess.
