Growing

This word has been coming up a lot lately. The kids are growing so big and so smart everyday. I can't believe the sentences that are coming out of Vivian's mouth. And the smart questions that Michael has been asking lately. I can't just shove them off anymore, he really wants answers and most of them (when I take the time to answer them) he understands quite well.

Also I've been thinking a lot about growing myself. I've been more interested in reading things or talking to people that have more wisdom then me and just trying to grow my mind and testimony. But I've also begun to grow something else inside of me. Something we've been trying to start for 6 months and now we can officially and proudly say that I am now pregnant for the second time with our third child. I am looking forward to this next chapter of our family.

We told Michael that the baby has to grow inside my belly until it gets too big and then it will come out and we will have another kid in our family. It will start out as a little baby and then it will grow big and strong like Vivian and Michael are growing big and strong. He asks me everyday if the baby is big enough yet. Hopefully he won't be the one to make the pregnancy go by slower. So far though it seems to be a much better pregnancy than the last one. By this time when I was pregnant with Vivian, I was so sick and didn't want food near me for 16 hours every day. But so far I haven't gotten sick and I am LOVING food.

We are all very excited for our family to grow in late November or early December. I'll keep everyone posted on any new developments. I hope everyone is doing well and I would love to hear how you and your family are doing.

Camping

We decided to give Michael and Vivian a little taste of camping. It was kind of a rushed trip and only for one night but it was fun. We just drove down to Caswell in Ripon. It's $20 to camp for the night so not bad. But it gave us an idea of how to be more prepared for a real camping trip.

Sunday Paper

This is what our family does with the sunday paper.
This video is hilarious. It is so true to everyones character. Especially Vivian, always cuddling, never really in the action but at the same time she gets those random urges to be a pest and get in the way, however this family just works around her.
