We have 2 family reunions on Ben's side and our 15 year class reunion to attend in the next 2 weeks. Ben is going to fly home for one family reunion and the class reunion. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone, yet I am not looking forward to chasing Jonah around the family reunions. (and trying to keep an eye on the girls while making sure Jonah doesn't end up in the lake or river. It's going to be interesting!)
Ben is working like crazy on our fence. All posts are set and tomorrow Ben and the neighbor are going to get the whole thing built. It will be SO EXCITING to be able to let Jonah run the yard and not worry about him heading into the woods, falling down the hill, or getting bit by the neighbor's dog. Plus, we are working on adopting a rescue dog so we will be ready for our new family member.
Speaking of new family members................
I know I am supposed to wait but I have no desire to.......
Funny story.....too long to repeat.....but moral of the story is beware of pregnancy test purchased on Ebay. They may not work! This picture is of a test purchased at Walgreens. This was taken after 2 weeks of negative Ebay tests. I didn't even have to lay this one down, the two lines were bright right away.
We are thrilled that we are going to meet our new little one in the end of March. (I think)
Back to the laundry!

Congratulations on your growing family!!...ok...I will bite....why are you buying pregnancy tests on Ebay????????
Funny....okay, I purchased my first lot while I was nursing Alaina. I was constantly paranoid that I was pregnant b/c I didn't have my monthly friend to tell me I wasn't. The lots are like 25 tests for $7.00. What a deal :) I could test whenever I wanted and not feel guilty about spending a fortune for no reason. Then I got another lot while nursing Jonah. That is the one I have now. This time I got something like 50 tests for $15. Okay....so now that the tests didn't work it seems silly but at the time I thought I was getting smart deals :)
Congratulations Nicole! Drive safely this week!

Nicole and I have had many conversations about big families. I have 2 sisters and 1 brother and growing up I wouldn't change that for the world.
The idea of having 4 children around us as we go through life is very exciting. Yes, a little crazy too.
Annelise and Alaina will be big helpers when the baby arrives.
