Family Baby Shower

Debra threw me a baby shower at the Cheesecake Factory in Denver. We had a wonderful time catching up and being together. I recieved lots of cute clothes and homemade blankets. I love my family!

Family updates

It has been a while since I have written or had pictures to share.I thought I would share a little news... The kids are doing great.
Emmy is excited to turn 10 the beginning of April. I promised her last year she could have a birthday party with friends on her 10th birthday. She is going to have a pizza and movie party. She has about 15 kids she wants to invite. She is also very excited about her acceptance to a new school next year. All three kids were accepted to Chappelow, a K-8 arts magnet school. She is very excited about the music programs available there. She will not miss the bulling she currently experiences at her current school. Emmy is such a great helper lately. She has been trying to help with transfering laundry so I don't have to bend down. She is so sweet!
Megan is doing GREAT in school this year. She has a wonderful teacher and is doing awesome with her math. I have been impressed that she has been doing well with her reading as well. I was glad to meet with her teacher and hear all her wonderful accomplishments. She enjoyed being student of the week this past week in school. She shared pictures of her family, her doll baby, her many art projects, and most important her favorite stuffed "Bunny". Megan enjoys having her Mom as her teacher in CTR9 class at church.
Kevin is a sweet boy with lots of energy! He is enjoying preschool and learning to write his name. He enjoys one on one time with Mom and Dad after school since preschool is over at 11:30. He loves to play with all the neighbor kids outside when Emmy and Megan and the rest of the neighbors come home from school. He will have his 5th birthday in May and will enjoy sharing cupcakes at school with his friends.
Brian is excited with his newest home project ..... the basement. He enjoyed drawing up the plans and had them approved. He got his building permit on Tuesday and has been busy buying supplies to start his project. He is hoping to start on Emmy & Megan's room first and then a bathroom. He will hopefully have lots of help from family and friends.
We are excited that the baby will be here sometime in late April instead of the May 1st due date. I went to the Doctor this week and was told we will be induced due to the diabetes. We don't have a specific date yet because we need to do a test on April 17th and get results back before we schedule the induction.... so hopefully the week of the 20th.... Yea!
