so my picture today is thrilling! we got some exciting news last week, so i've been organizing & getting everything settled like a maniac. today i got a HUGE moving box full of stuff for donating. finally 99% of the rest of the unfinished moving stuff done today. it feels great! by thursday we will be completely cleaned out & organized. i'm so done storing stuff!


...and on to the exciting news we found out last week! :) now that our families know, it's safe to share. looks like #4, likely our last, will be making his/her entrance this fall. :) one kid born in each season! we are keeping the gender a surprise like we did with ethan. it was so exciting to find out at the birth. we're meeting with the homebirth midwife out here next week ... we're all just so excited! we haven't told the kids, yet. we're waiting a bit to play it safe, & not to make it seem like an eternity to them!

so, when kayleigh was a baby, she was bald, and i was DYING for her to get hair. so much, that i let her grow this horrible baby mullet & i swore i'd never do it again ....

well, that leads us here. click to see the picture bigger. shall i trim norah's stray long hairs in front of her face? lol. i'm leaning towards the YES side.

lots of snapshots lately, eh? john will probably kill me for this one, but i took it from the landing when he was getting kayleigh ready for school. he is the world's best husband. i'm sure of it.

okay, how slow am i that i just realized you could upload more than one picture at a time in blogger?! what a time saver!

yesterday we went to a bigger, better, playground on the other side of the neighborhood. no swings, of course, but pretty cool play set!

really boring compositions, but hey! it was really fun playing!

what a nice day .. again!! it was pretty windy this afternoon, so we got the kite out. we were not able to get it up in virginia. not even once. i'm not sure if it's just the season, but man, it's been windy lately!

a lot of my pictures have this out of focus glow today. hopefully it's just being moody and i haven't messed something up, lol!

the weather today was beaaaautiful! i should have cut back that big bush thing next to the porch, lol, but instead played outside with the kids and explored the neighborhood. there's always tomorrow!
