Busy Doings

Life has been busy and filled with day-to-day things.  We were able to enjoy an Easter egg hunt at Grandma and Grandpa Lewis' and color eggs.

We also were able to have another Easter egg hunt on the Reading side.  And of course Natalie couldn't wait to sit down and start eating her candy.

Like I mentioned we are just busy in our lives.  I don't think that I've mentioned it on our blog, but I've personally been busy since October when I was put in as the Young Women President in our ward.  It has been a fun, busy, and learning experience.  It is so much different being a leader now as opposed to a young woman going through the program.  So, between Young Womens, playing with Natalie and this pregnancy we've been kept busy living our lives.

Studio 5 Spotlight

A little over a week ago Studio 5 came to my house to spotlight my mom on her grandma blog.

Here is a link to our little claim to fame in the family....enjoy Digi-Gram.

Flavor

I have been meaning to post for quite some time about the flavor of our baby.  We found out on February 12th that the flavor of our baby is...pink!  Poor Mike will continue to be outnumbered in this household!  Natalie is very excited though!

Natalie is very determined that we will be naming the baby "Sister" and she won't back down on it.  I'm sure that she will be called that, but that's not what her name on the birth certificate will be.  Natalie has been so cute and curious about the baby.  She keeps asking if she can share her toys and the clothes that she has grown out of with the baby when she's born.  The great thing about having another girl is that we've already got all the clothes (and the correct seasons too since Natalie was born in the summer too).

Christmas Summary

Here is just a summary of how our Christmas went.

Something is Wrong

Last Sunday we set up our Christmas tree as a family.  Then on Tuesday evening we added another ornament on the tree for Natalie.  As we sat and admired the tree, the following conversation occurred:

Me:  Isn't the tree beautiful?
Natalie:  Yes.  It is beautiful.
(We sit in silence for a bit.)
Natalie:  Uh-oh.  Something is wrong!
Me:  What is wrong with the tree?
Natalie:  There's no presents under it!
Me: (laughing) There will be later if you are good.

Somebody is a little excited for Christmas if you couldn't tell.

Falling into fun

Last week we were able to frolic in the fall leaves before the snow fell.

Here's Natalie having fun in the fall weather.
