Last night we went to Paul and Dorine's for the weekend and wore these shirts. You should have seen the looks on their faces when they realized what we were telling them! Emma is so excited! She keeps telling me to be careful and don't hurt the baby. She hopes it is a baby brother. When Emma told Shalynne that mommy was going to have a baby, she said "No!" I'm not sure she understands yet. Anyway, we are all pretty excited. If all goes well, the baby is due October 30.

Derek and Jessica Geise, good friends of ours came over to spend the weekend with us. This was Drew's first time out of state. He is six weeks old and quite the little man. My girls were really fascinated by this little human being. As you can see, Shalynne does'nt quite have the mothering touch that Emma has:-) Emma held him two or three different times, and even sang him to sleep. She is SOO in love. She kept telling us "I want a baby brother Drew! I am praying for a baby brother!"

Jonathan Robbins and Jonathan Thompson were busy impersonating "Two Men and a Truck" today. Since Jonny and Care are moving from a six bedroom house to a one bedroom apartment, a lot of their furniture obviously won't fit:-) So we volunteered to take their sectional couch. After they got here, they realized they had left three of the cushions at the house! So I am making do with four comforters and a blue sheet til next week. Also Jonny forgot to get boxes from us for them to pack in. So it was an all around bad day for him, but a funny day for us;-)

Our monkey in action!

This is our room at the Carlisle Inn in Sugarcreek, Ohio. The room was so big, the front four rooms of our house could fit in it!!!
We were here for the Marriage Matters retreat over Valentines Day.
The fireplace was sooo cozy, especially with the snow outside.

Hi!! We are evidently blogger illiterate. We have been trying to upload pics for three days. One of these times something we try will work.
