Cleaning Windows!

Spring Break Day #1: Cleaning Windows

What a big helper Landon was yesterday as I cleaned every window and screen in the house! That includes 18 screens and 26 panes of glass! The screens I don't think have EVER been cleaned and it's been bugging me since we moved into the house last September. I told myself that I would take them all out and clean them the first nice day I had off from work.

We DID have a little fun yesterday though...we met Auntie Jess and Lilly and Auntie Ashley and Jackson for lunch at Triple R to visit Grandma Rita. The kids were all really good! Then we came home and went for a walk and played with the Grossman kids. Landon must've been VERY tired out from the day because he went to bed so good last night and I had to wake him up this morning at 8:15!

Our plans for today? I've already placed an order for over 550 pictures on Snapfish and when Landon wakes up from his nap we are off to Dassel to see Jess and Lilly, Desiree and Elsa, and maybe Carissa and Jill! Should be another fun-filled day!

A Princess on the Way!

A blurry profile...with a little hand waving above her head

Her little foot


I think we may have a gymnast on our hands! Head down, butt in the air, and skinny little legs


Ok, so I'm a little more rested and have slowly realized that the ultrasound technician was not playing a cruel joke on me...IT'S A GIRL!!! I'm so thrilled to have a princess and not be outnumbered in the house anymore! Yes, probably jumping the gun a little bit, but I already ordered bedding for her room. I had it picked out "in case" it was a girl ahead of time. So, back to Thursday...


She is a feisty one and the ultrasound tech called her a little kickboxer because she kept kicking at the doppler. She is right on track for growth weighing in at 12 oz. My due date will stay the same this time (July 23rd). We got to see awesome views of her little spine...she really wanted to show that off. She didn't really want to give us a very good profile shot though. We got a great picture of her in the uncomfortable position she is in. She's head down with her butt straight up in the air and curled in a ball. She kept kneeing herself in the head! Poor little thing will probably have bruises on her forehead when she's born! Her heartrate was at 145 and all her body parts looked great. Such a relief to hear that all is well and she looks healthy!

Oh, and by the way...her nickname...THUMBELINA! I don't know where Darren comes up with these names, but at least it's better than the one poor Landon had!

It's a...

little SISTER for Landon!!! I am still in shock right now as I write this. Darren was concerned that I didn't seem excited when we found out, but I am! I was just expecting the ultrasound technician to say, "Oops, I was wrong...there's the little boy parts!" I just had to go to the mall afterwards and buy something pink. Talk about overwhelming! There's SO MANY girl clothes in every store, much more than the boy section. Pictures to come tomorrow...I'm so tired!
