A vacation, a wedding, and an ultrasound.

I haven't had the chance to write in a month! Yikes! Chasing kids, cooking, cleaning, laundry, trying to make time for my hubby and myself.... And to put a huge spin on it all, we had the opportunity to stay in a camper for two of those weeks. Two kids taking a nap in bunkbeds when they usually have the peace and quiet of their own rooms with fans on for dead noise was.... interesting. Stressful to be honest. We had to try and rig up a towel on the outside of the window but little Emri always found a way to peek her little face around it- cute, yep. Make mommy frustrated? yep. She loves her own bed at home so much that her first nap back in her crib was for FOUR hours! A little creature of habit.

So one of the Saturdays, we had a wedding to go to. And, shocker of all shocks (?) we had to hire a babysitter. For the first time!!! Both sets of grandparents and Uncle Aaron and Auntie Billie were busy!!! So was my dear friend Rachel, who has watched the kids before but is more of an Auntie than babysitter. So, yep, we had an expensive day. Gift card from Target, check. Managed to lock the keys in the van so we had to use $10 more in gas, check. Pay the babysitter $40, check. Back at home after one dance because Ethan cried into the phone so we picked him up a 'treat', check. Guess what the little guy wanted? A spin-toothbrush. Nice!

So all this was 'news' for our family, but the biggest news is that we found out we are having a....baby.... BOY! Yay!! Ethan proudly walked into Grandma Peaches' office and announced, "We are having a boy brother." Classic.

Here are a few pics from our vacation- we got the kiddos dressed up and attempted some cool photos. We got a few out of all the hard work;)
