Fall Fun

Just thought I would post some fun fall photos of Morgan thru the years.

Ultrasound, Finally

We decided to find out what we were having this time. Although a few people had guesses as to what it was, most were wrong. We are pleased to announce that we are HAVING A BOY!!!!
Here are some pics. Unfortunately they were unable to get many 3D shots of our little one.

Writing

We have always worked with Morgan on writing her name. On everything she colored at her old daycare, sheila would write her name it. Morgan was really good at writing MOR. That is all the further it would go. Then when she started school, we would get MOR and some scriblings. Then it progressed to MOR__N (a letter that was either an "a" or a "g" we weren't sure). Last night while I was scrapping, Morgan brought me a piece of paper and said "I did it mom". I looked and here on the piece of paper was MORGAN!!!!! I was so excited. I asked if I could have it and put it in my scrapbook. "No, I am going to hang it on my wall". Now it actually is hanging where Morgan hangs all her special stuff-- the back of our front door, which is magnetic.

Morgan's Thoughts on a baby

I may have mentioned some of the comments Morgan has made/asked about the baby but I need to write these down somewhere before I forget:

First reaction: "We can't have a baby, the dogs will eat it"

Morgan had decided from the very beginning that the baby is a "sister one". Her name is Sofie and she has hair like me (mom). This has changed. The baby hasn't been called Sofie since Morgan got a baby doll for her birthday and named that baby Sofie and recently she hasn't been definite about having a girl.

Questions Morgan has asked about the baby: Does the baby wear a swim suit??, Does the baby poop in there?, (When Morgan was being naughty) Is the baby crying in there?, Does the baby wear flip flops?

Morgan loves to hug and give the baby kisses already. She will randomly come and kiss mommy's tummy.

Morgan School Pictures

My baby is in preK (preschool). She attends Pioneer prep which is at the local school. She goes everday in the afternoon. So this year we have started the yearly ritual of school photos. With the package we purchased, we received a cd with the pics on it (all 3 of them!!!!) so lets see if I can upload them!!!!

She makes me laugh everyday

Morgan that is. I find her hilarious (and frustrating) at the same time. Last night for example, She fell asleep on the couch right after her bath. Josh and I decided to leave her be. So because it was right after her bath, she had nothing on. Morgan has never been a great sleeper (frustrating part), at 2:30am she wakes up, comes and says she is hungry and wants a muffin. We put some jammies on, get her a muffin and some milk and she tells me her grandma says she can sleep on the couch. So I cover her back up on the couch, turn on blues clues by her request and I go back to bed (its 2:30 for crying out loud). This morning at 6:30, expecting her to still be sleeping, a little girl opens my door tells me that it is raining and making a river in front of our house, she goes back to the living room. I get up and head her direction, (funny part), she is naked again. I ask her why she doesn't have her jammies on and she replies "cause I wanted to be naked". How do you fight with a 4 yr old?? So she had naked breakfast, and entertained me with a little naked dancing to the abc song!!!!
Gotta love her.

For my bbc friends

A while ago some ladies I talk to on babycenter asked about our pooh nursery. So here are a couple pictures from when Morgan was a baby!!!. Also, my friend Toots (Katie) who is getting married in a couple weeks.

New Baby

Yes, all (or most) of you know that we are having a baby. we actually found out in May that we were expecting. However due to 2 past miscarriages we learned our lesson and wait to tell everyone until we were a little further along. So we waited until we had our ultrasound at 14 weeks. The coolest thing was they gave us a disk with the ultra sound pictures. What could be more appropriate on the new blog than the new baby. With that said here are the first pictures of out new little one!!!!

First ever post

So with this new baby (and final addition) to our family I decided to start a blog. Plus, I didn't have enough stuff to do.

So with that I hope you enjoy and I hope I can keep it up!!!!
