Merry Christmas!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
This year has been a great one! A few highlights were our trip to WA in August to spend time w/all of my family and my new nieces and nephews. Our trip to McCall for T-day. Ethan learned to read this year, were are so proud of him! Eddie finished potty training this year! Double yeah! We found out we were expecting a baby girl in March and are really excited, especially that the pregnancy has gone so well. We have had safety and good health most of the year, (except Brad's bike crash and having my gall bladder removed).
Overall we have been and continue to be so blessed.
We think of you often and hope you are all doing well!


We had a 3D ultra sound on the 22nd, we were really excited because we didn't get to do this w/our boys. We had seen advertisement pictures and they were amazing, but we still didn't know exactly what to expect. It was pretty neat but of course not as amazing as the advertised pictures. They told me to eat a big meal 1 hour before and drink OJ 1/2 hour before so she would be wide awake. I did this, (which was MUCH better than drinking a quart of water the hour before like I had to for my 20 wk ultra sounds) but still, she seemed to sleep away in there. She hardly moved except her mouth and her hands a little bit. It still was neat to see her and watch her small movements, but I wish some of the pictures were a little less distorted.


She looks so squished in there!

This was my favorite picture, it looks like she has a cute little nose!

She opened and closed her mouth a few times, this is a video of her doing that. It looks like she is tasting something.

The camera distorted images as they moved the machine and as she moved. This clip shows how the same shot makes her look so different as she shifts her position. The person doing the ultra sound said the best shots are taken when there is a lot of fluid in the area, like in front of her face.

She rubbed her eye a lot, this is a little clip of her doing that.
