It's a Boy!

There's no mistaking, it's a boy! We're 5 months along and we went to our sonogram appointment yesterday to see what we could see. Everything looks healthy and he is measuring on track for a March delivery. We brought the girls to the sonogram, and SA (4.5 yrs) was so excited to see the sonogram and was just oooing and awwwing over her little brother. SJ (3 yrs) is not sure what to think yet, but really liked playing with all the cords to the equipment. We’re looking forward to welcoming this new little bundle and the adventure of experiencing a boy in our very girly household. Poor kid, he better like pink tutus and lipgloss, he will probably be wearing them a lot around here. We're excited to meet you little one!

Happy Halloween!

We carved our pumpkin the night before, and had it glowing on our front porch on Halloween evening. Sofia had a little costume parade earlier in the day on Halloween at her school. That evening, SA was Ariel and SJ was originally Sleeping Beauty, then changed her mind to Snow White, V was the lead singer of The Cure, and I was an old lady. We took the girls to trick or treat on our street with some friends and then headed down to the big party street in our neighborhood where the whole street had been blocked off with police officers standing at either end. It was a lot of fun to watch the girls this year, they get so excited about candy and all the excitement going on. We were gone so long that we didn't get to hand out much candy, we handed out some before we left, but have WAY too much left over. This was my favorite Halloween with the girls so far.

Pumpkins Pumpkins Everywhere!

We've done a lot with pumpkins over the past month. More pumpkin-related activities to come after Halloween tomorrow and pumpkin carving tonight!

Chuck E Cheese 3rd Bday!

Our little "baby" SJ has now officially turned 3 after talking about it for months. This signifies some sort of rite of passage in our house according to her older sister SA (the author of all the "word on the street" rules in our house). Somehow 3 shows you are worthy of respect and can handle things that you couldn't be trusted with just yesterday when you were still a little 2 year old. We went to Chuck E Cheese since we can't have a birthday party at our house right now with the kitchen remodel going on. It was a breeze, not expensive, and everyone had a great time. I don't know why we haven't done it before.

Kitchen Update

Somehow with work, illnesses, back problems, church retreat weekends, surprise visits from friends, and two little girls and a pregnancy... our kitchen is progressing. V turns into a worker bee at night with some sort of strange mystical power reserve. Here's a couple of pics of cabinets going up. Still have a ways to go with counter top, backsplash, floor, trim, appliances, etc. But it's starting to look like a kitchen.

New Site...

With the addition of our newest little one in March 2009, twosillysisters won't really make sense anymore. While we don't expect anymore family additions in our future, we thought it would be safe to call it "silly bunch" to cover our bases.

I am almost 15 weeks along, and in about 5 weeks, the girls will get to find out if they will be welcoming a new baby brother or sister. So far so good. God has blessed me with extra energy this time around, different than my other pregnancies, in order to keep up with this wild and crazy crew.
