Baby #3!!!!!!!!!!

Well here's the newest news. It maybe a little early, but I am the worst at keeping a secret so I'm spilling the beans that I am pregnant with baby 3!!!! I found out last week and that's about as long as I can keep a secret so there you go! We are excited, although Claire wasn't thrilled at first. She needed sometime to think about it. She cried when I told her and she said "I'm just used to two". Poor girl. She has to get used to a lot of change lately. I guess all of us do. We are doing everything at once. New job, new state to live in, and now a new baby. Luckily, babies take 9 months to get here, so maybe we can get things a little more in order.
Will keeps saying "No Baby". I really don't think he understands. I think he thinks we are calling him a baby and he is telling us he is not a baby.
So, the baby will be due the end of July- see I told you I just barely found out. I'm about 5 weeks along. I'm feeling great right now, but I'm sure that will change in the weeks to come.
As I said, I found out last week, so to tell Shawn I went and bought Will and Claire Big Brother, Big Sister shirts and had them wear them on a day when we could take him to lunch. We met him for lunch and he noticed the shirts but didn't notice what was written on them for a few minutes. Will's shirt was the give away, so I specifically pointed out Will's shirt? He finally realized that it said Big Brother and turned to me with a big question mark on his face, and then realized what was happening. He was thrilled! We had been trying awhile, so we were both very excited!
Here are some pictures of the kids in their shirts!

Fall




We have been having fun in my parents backyard this year! They have huge trees that drop tonz and tonz of leaves each fall. This would be a pain for anyone else, but for kids this is just built in free fun. We've had dry weather too, so the leaves are nice and crunchy. We spent an afternoon raking up leaves and jumping into them! The kids and Lilly had a blast. I had fun too and I think Grandma didn't mind the leaves as much this year! And afterward they didn't even mind helping to put some of those leaves in garbage bags.
