More than 6 months later... and still not all that much to say!

Alright that's a 100% bona fide fib if I do say so myself! We had an absolutely WONDERFUL summer! We managed to get our camper out a total of 50 days! It really is our home away from home and as the seasons start to turn colder, I have to admit I'm more than a wee sad and a bit wistful that another entire warm season is gone. It seems the years seem to fly by with more speed the older you get, and I do remember always hearing that... I'm just not happy to find out it's true!

Cameron and Kaden started 3rd grade in the fall. This year they have gotten involved with karate and are beginning to get involved with church, something I've felt was missing in all of our lives for quite some time now. They have such funny things to say as their conversation has become more mature.

Cole turned 3 in August and has embraced his inner terrorist. He's quite an attitude some days! He is incredibly resistant to potty training despite Mom and Dad's great interest in the matter. All Cole's friends of the same age and younger are completely potty trained and we are still wearing diapers all day long. He often adamantly refuses to go in the potty chair and I guess you really can't force the issue?? He's adorable though and keeps us on our toes and remains the snuggliest little guy around. Given the opportunity, he still readily jumps in bed and assaults (I mean, snuggles?) us both all night.

AAAAAAnnnndddd we're expecting child number 4 (4th and final that is) the end of April! We're very excited but Mom is a little nervous at the prospect of going from 3 to 4. It really changes a lot of things... like our ability to all ride in a non-third row vehicle together! We've started renovating our house more in preparation for another member. Yes we will find out the sex of the baby in December, yes this is our last one, yes we're excited, yes we'll be fine with a 4th boy, yes we would love to have a girl as well but won't be disappointed either way, and yes we were trying! That should answer the most common questions you get in early pregnancy! The twins are excited but are adament that it MUST be a sister as they have plenty of brothers already. Cole seems very interested and has been talking to Mom's belly as soon as we gave him the news (it felt a little awkward knowing that for the first 2 months he was talking to my jelly roll instead of a baby bump... but hey! I'm sure the message traveled!)

We had family photos done in August and here's our favorites... went very well and minimally stressful with our new favorite photographer Dani Stanley.
