Thanksgiving Vacation


Well, good news. I'm feeling MUCH better this week - functioning and everything. Now on to the diabetes aspect of the pregnancy. Don't stop praying!

I thought I'd share our Thanksgiving photos. We went to Monterey the week of Thanksgiving. The kids had the time off school, Dee had the extra vacation and our friends offered a place to stay. We couldn't pass it up! None of us had been there before but we absolutely fell in love with the beaches. We did the aquarium (expensive, but worth seeing once in a lifetime) and Suzanne and the boys met us for the afternoon at an awesome park. The next day we did the 17 mile drive (Dee drooled at all the golf courses) but the best time we had was at the beach. The weather was incredible and the sand was so white and warm. We played all day at the beach although the water was too cold to swim. I put a clip on here for mom she wanted me to make sure the "ocean was still going in and out even if she wasn't here."


After our fun in Monterey we moseyed (traffic was horrendous) to Sacramento to visit Gordon, Kristi and the boys and spent actual Thanksgiving there. It was wonderful with lots of food and laughing. I love the holidays!

Exciting news!

It is official. We are expecting our fourth baby around July 14th. As excited as we are, I am also SICK SICK SICK, so I haven't up dated our blog for a while. Mostly being "up" at all has been hard. I've lost 10 pounds in a week and although so far this week is much better I'm still taking it very slow. I'm trying not to complain since this baby is such a blessing and we've been hoping for it for a while. Dee, McKenna and Tyler are as excited as can be, but when I asked Ellie if she wanted a baby she said, "No thank you. I don't really like babies." Boy is she in for a surprise! I'll post more about our holiday travels with pictures later this week. Stay tuned!
