No pictures, but some BIG news. . .

Sorry, no pictures. I broke our camera on Easter morning before I could get any pictures taken! And it only dropped 3" off the ground! It's taken a bigger hit than that before! Hit facedown though. Wouldn't even open up! We have a warranty on the camera and Best Buy is not able to fix it, so we get a new one!

Now for the BIG news. . .

For anyone who doesn't know. . . Rob and I are expecting again. I was waiting to say anything on here until we knew how many babies we were having. With the girls starting out as triplets, I just knew I'd be having more than one again this time, but come to find out, it's just one baby. That is, if the egg hasn't split for identicle twins. Wouldn't that be something? I'm relieved it's just one. I know it will be healthier coming into this world, more healthier than Emma and Madison, and our hopes of getting better rest has increased. We were up every 2 to 3 hours with the girls for the first 7 months, and at least once or twice during the night until they were 14 months. We still get up about 3 times a week with them during the night. Will it ever stop???

My dad says we need to adopt another baby, Rob has even thought about it, I have too, but the sound of more rest, less diapers, easier travel, ect. sounds better and better to me.

Just one simple prayer request for all to be in prayer about. I'm not very far along, only 5 or 6 weeks, and there's already a heartbeat on the baby, but it's not very strong. I just ask that everyone say a little prayer for this. My HCG levels are really good, but I would like to see a stronger heartbeat. Thank you.

That will be all for now. We are going to camera hunt tonight, so hopefully we'll have more pictures to post before too long.

Take care!

On Our Way Home


Since we were so close to the Atlantic Ocean, we just had to swing by the coast for some pictures.



Us at the Atlantic!


We were all doing fine at this moment.







Then a huge wave came in and got us all wet! My dear Emma didn't like that very much at all!






Just a pretty picture of the ocean.






Found a crab on the shore and the girls just stood there watching it. Emma had a better time in the sand with her shoes on!


Madison was the one scared this time. Strange but true. Daddy had to get in with her for the picture. This was taken at a Dolphin center that trains dolphins. We missed going in by a few minutes! Bummer!

We had so much fun that we can hardly wait for our next trip!


Visiting In Florida!!!


Ok, I think we have a few bird watchers on our hands now! We went out on the pier and waited about 15 minutes for the birds to come by. The girls just LOVED the birds. Now every morning, the girls wake up, hear the birds and want to go outside to watch them!


Emma trying to enjoy the sand with her pale and shovel. She's our picky one. Doesn't like to be dirty, doesn't like anything on her feet, so the sand inbetween her toes was not her idea of fun!


Madison is a little more laid back and had a lot of fun, even wanted to walk out into the water as the waves came in!


Family picture before we left Florida.

Florida Trip

We had such a wonderful time in FL visiting Rob's parents for spring break. Before too long, we won't be able to see them as often, so it's great to get as many visit in as possible.


Our family somewhere between Ohio and Florida. I think this was taken in Virginia.


Rob was able to parasail for free (great military discount!), so we went on the adventure and it was a lot of fun.


Rob has long enough arms to take his own picture with the shute behind him.


I just hang on to dear life! Really it wasn't scary at all. The gulf is so large, that you really don't realize how far up you are.


Until you look at the boat that we flew off from!
