Gabe's little sister (or brother)

is coming along just fine! I had my first ultrasound Monday at 7 weeks and the heart rate was good and the baby measured exactly right on. My due date is December 9th! Just one day before my (gasp) 32nd birthday! When Gabe is in just the right mood, you can say "Gabe, what are you getting for Christmas"? and he'll say "a baby". It's the cutest thing ever.

In other news, Gabe apparently has a little girl friend! Her name is Kate and she is in his class at the day care. His teacher told me yesterday that they had a special concert outside and she looked over there at Gabe and Kaet and he was giving her big hugs. And then, and then, (this part is hard for his mama) he was kissing her square on the lips!! Over and over again. Oh my sweet little boy! At least she is cute.

This weekend we get to see Pa and Nana. We are going camping in our new camper for the first time (and taking our friends the ants with us because it doesn't seem like they are all going away before we go. Just goes to show you that just because it *seems* like a good deal...). For Christmas we got Pa a special treat where he gets to go drive a real race car on a real race track, really fast! So we are going to go watch him enjoy that gift and enjoy some camping in the meantime. We are really excited about getting to see Nana and Pa and Jamie and JB and Aunt Mary and Uncle Jason again. It's been a while. We won't get to see Grandma this time and we will miss her but we can understand her not coming - she doesn't like the heat and it is supposed to be HOT this weekend!!

And just a couple from Easter...
