It's a...???

I found out at 15 weeks that we are having another GIRL!!!!! I am now 20 weeks pregnant. I am due September 21st. I was convinced I was having another boy. Griffin has been on my case for some time asking when his brother is coming. Maybe one day. Infact, he was set on naming a brother "Pick-Up-Bug." If you ask him what we are having, he dreads saying the word. Either way, atleast the pressure is off. It will be great for Sienna to have a sister.

2009

January- HECTIC!
Here are a few things what we have been up to:

My brother Todd and his wife Ashlee had an emergency visit to the hospital w/ each kid. Abbie split her chin open and got stitches. The following week Beckham was admitted in the hospital for RSV. That weekend, Peyton (who is the same age as Griff) was wrestling w/ the kids and split his head open and got staples. One week later Griff split his head open and got staples.

Back in January, we had all of Todd's kids and Griff in for a hospital visit. Little did we know..Sienna was next. In the past 6 months, Griff and Sienna have each had a couple of injuries that required medical attention. Sienna's first attempt to climb out of the crib she fell out and broke her arm. She was in a cast for a few weeks.
Playing in the snow in April? What? Griff woke up at 6:45 AM, pulled Grant out of bed, put his snow clothes on, and was out the door to have Grant help him shovel.
Florida- Grant and I took Griff and Sienna and met up w/ my Mom and Dad, my brother Brian and his family, my sister Kathryn and her family at a vacation home to go to Disneyworld. We went to Downtown Disney, Epcot, Hollywood Disney, Typhoon Lagoon water park, Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, and Sea World.
While we were at Sea World, we got a phone call from the Police Department. The vacation home we were staying in was broken into. The good news..They caught these guys while attempting to steal a car. My Dad, Brian, Scott, and Grant took off w/ my nephew Weston who had heat exhaustion. It was a LONG process! They met the police at the house, the police investigated, they went to the police station, filled out paper work, and collected our belongings. They finally made it back to Sea World as the park was closing. It is a MIRACLE that they caught these guys. Overall, we still had a fun and exciting time! Never a dole moment w/ my family.
Happy B-day Eric, Brian, Mom, Daniel, Rebecca, Taylor, Grant's Dad, and friends!
