What's in the News

We have been SO crazy busy with SO many things lately. I'm hoping to get around to posting about some of them before too long (even though I don't have pictures to go along with any of it). But first, we decided to was time to share some news. Here is what we recently sent our family (We printed it out with pictures, but I couldn't get it all to come up on here AND our scanner doesn't work, BUT you get the idea)....


Ode to Family

Some of you’ve been asking,
and really want to know.
Is there a baby in Mauri’s tummy?
Will she ever show?
So, in answer to your questions,
We’re sending you this little verse.
Mauri’s feeling so much better,
in the beginning it was much worse.
Indeed, there is a baby inside,
and April 13th is when it’s due.
We won’t find out the sex this time,
A surprise for US and You.
Kyri wants a girl,
to play with oh so much.
Graysen wants a brother,
to kick and poke and punch.
And so, the next time you see us,
Mauri’s belly will start to show.
Of course, there’s a baby on the way!
Isn’t that what you all want to know?


We never tell our families we're expecting until we know the gender of our baby, but since we aren't going to find out....we still waited a while :) We are really excited and looking forward to one more source of chaos around here! Oh, and even though Kyri wanted a sister at first she is now hoping it's a boy!!

And please feel free to participate in our sidebar poll!!

Congrats! I'm glad you are starting to feel better! I'm sure it is hard to wait to find out the gender but that will be a fun surprise in April.

Oh my goodness. We are so much alike, I have been too lazy/sick/tired to post anything, but one day I will. I am due March 15, this is to crazy that are kids are all going to be the same age!!!! Now all we need to do is move closer to you so we can hang out:) I'm so excited for you guys. I'm nervous about having three, I feel I need to grow another arm, so I have one for each of them:)
