And the Family Keeps Growing!!!

pregtest

So most of you already know that 4 days before Hannah’s 1st birthday we found out that we are expecting our next addition to the family!  I surprised Patrick by putting an “I’m the Big Sister” shirt on Hannah.  Very fun! Although… I think he could tell by the huge grin on my face I was pregnant before I even told him. (He’s been through this before…hahah).

Anyways, I know what you all are thinking, ” they will be 20 months apart”! It sounds crazy, but yes we planned it this way!

As of yesterday 8/20, we had our first ultrasound and the doctor said everything looks wonderful! Yay!!!! It’s always a relief to hear that.  Heart Beat was a strong 161 and it looks from the size of the baby that the due date will be April 4, 2010. I’m looking forward to having a spring baby and not being so painfully huge during the summer this time!!

We feel so blessed to get to experience this wonderful miracle of life again! Please keep us, and our quickly growing peanut in your prayers!

Hannah & Dog Food

A little FYI. Hannah just ate some dog food.

Tiny Town Visit

On Saturday we took a visit to Tiny Town, a place just up the road with miniature replicas of famous and not-so-famous houses. Here’s our photo journal from our journey. IMGP5483

We aren’t sure if she is practicing to be a model or just really likes to put things on her head…but regardless, she thinks it’s hysterical!

Church Marquee Hiatus

After a long and grueling church-phrase hiatus, the Lutheran church across the street has posted another awful marquee. One question. Why?

St. Mary's Glacier Hike

Located just outside of Idaho Springs, about 30-40 min from our house, Matt, Mary, Hannah and I went on a hike up to St. Mary’s Glacier yesterday. We took lots of pictures. Matt hasn’t given me his yet, but I put the ones from my camera in our photo gallery. Enjoy!

Prelude to the Hike

Tomorrow morning we are going for a hike up at St. Mary’s Glacier. Some awesome friends of ours let us borrow their baby hiking backpack. This should be fun.
