Cleopatra

So we are having another girl. I will admit tears were shed, but I am totally happy about it now. The girls are both very happy with a new baby sister as well. They are so excited they already have assigned themselves jobs for taking care of her. Grace wants to bathe her and Sophia wants to dress her and style her hair. They both want to feed her, but alas no diaper changing. Having a third child with this much help is seeming more and more easy. I am glad we waited so long for this one. This way the whole family can enjoy her from the very beginning. I got a neat 3D profile shot of her today. I will let you stare at it and figure it out. Her profile is in the middle of the photo.

Japan

So much has happen to Japan in the past week. A massive 9.0 earthquake followed 15 mins later by a tsunami. The hardest hit area was the northern east coast of Japan. Which also happened to be where we were living just two years ago. I have spent many hours on the computer over the past week trying to get a hold of all of our friends. We have heard back from most of them, but lots of areas are still with out power. Hopefully we will hear back from more of them as time goes on.
Please keep the Japanese people in your prayers that those who are missing will be found and those who are in mourning will be comforted. I can't imagine having your whole town swept away in a matter of minutes. And for those of you who can donate money here to The church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day saints humanitarian services website

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Lane!
He turned 30 years old today. Last night I threw a surprise birthday for Lane and he was surprised. He had know idea that I was doing it too. He said it scared him when everyone shouted surprise. I love him so much and can't wait to spend the next 30 years right by his side.

Another one?

So we are having another one of these on July 31st. So exciting I know. I don't know how I feel about being out numbered, but at least both girls will be at school full time next year which will make having # 3 around much easier.

Happy Birthday!

6 Years ago today, we were blessed with our 2nd beautiful baby girl. After having our first one just one year earlier I was so nervous for her. She turned out to be a very easy going child. Over the last 6 years, which have gone by too fast, she has become such a beautiful, fun loving, out going, and very social princess. I am so grateful for her and the joy she brings to our family. I love my baby girl. Happy Birthday.
