Welcome To The Ritz

That’s a lot of snow…

I love the day after it snows.

Last week our Mitsubishi transmission decided to stop working while making a left-turn near our home. We towed it home with the 4Runner.



Good thing is that we have a warranty on the Endeavor. We were a little worried about the transmission not being covered, but by the grace of God, the dealership/mechanic said this was going to be the easiest repair and approval he’s ever seen from the warranty company. Amen!

Until we get it back, we get a Sentra rental. yippee…

Greeting on your special day!

On Saturday Hannah’s face had a little visit with the paved stairs on the deck outside. Poor baby. Daddy was there…he just wasn’t fast enough!  And so these are the beginning of many toddler mishaps….

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!
