Marianne and Dave welcomed their perfect little baby boy, Arlo Leo Nall, into this world on October 15. He came with big deep eyes, curly light hair, and a sweet sweet soul. What a gift this baby is.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Marianne had invited me to be at Arlo's birth and I had been been praying that things would work out for me to be there. I wanted to support Mar and be an advocate for her peaceful birth, and also because I just think birth is a beautiful miracle.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Marianne let me know she was having contractions Wednesday night and I hopped in the car. I found babysitters for my kids the next day and it all worked out. I got to the hospital about 1 am and Marianne and Dave were peacefully and wonderfully managing her contractions. I was overcome with love and admiration for my strong sister.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mar continued to manage her labor without any pain medications and it was difficult to be on the other side (not the one giving birth) and not able to take her pain away. But she kept going, so bravely, and Arlo was born about 8 am. They were able to announce that he is a boy (!) and I took as many pictures as I could. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Arlo's entire birth was a spiritual, intensely precious time that I will always feel immensely blessed to have witnessed. He has brought such peace and love and joy to our whole family, after feeling the most loss and sadness as we said goodbye to our dear mother. I look at Arlo and my heart overflows with gratitude that love heals and life continues to bloom and make way for new hope and relationships. And he helps me feel close to my mama because she is a part of him, and my own sweet kids. I'm so happy to be Arlo's aunt and I can't wait to snuggle him again!<br />

Having <span style="font-size: x-large;">3 kids 4 and under</span> means I don't do a lot of things I used to do. Like <i>blog</i>. It makes me sad because I want to remember all these little things and stay in touch with family, but an occasional update will have to do for now. So here it is!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Ethan spent this school-year, 4th grade, in Ohio with his dad and stepmom. It was an agonizing decision for us to make, since he'd been with me the majority of the time (besides holidays and summers) since he was little. He's always had a hard time in school with behavior and we've tried lots of different things to try to help him. It broke my heart when his teachers would tell me that he didn't have any friends because kids thought he was kind of a bully. He fought with the kids on our street and couldn't ride the bus because of it. It was interfering with his schoolwork because he would be trying to talk to someone and not know what he was supposed to be doing. And it was just getting worse, despite everything we were trying at home and with his teachers. I know what a sweet heart he has and I just don't know to help him let others see that side of him.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Since Ethie's a lot like his dad, we decided it might be time to try letting him live there in Ohio. Plus his stepmom Aubrey is wonderful and I trusted that they would both help him as much as they possibly could. And he's had a great year! His teachers have said that they don't see all the problems that were on his OK and GA school records. He has made some friends and is doing well with his schoolwork. I think it helps that he switches classrooms for every class, so he is constantly moving and changing. He also has some good medicine for ADHD that has been a blessing for him (after avoiding it for a long time). He still struggles at times, but I think the change was what he needed for right now. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Jared and Aubrey have been so good about keeping me updated and sending pictures and letting him facetime with us a lot, so the other kids get to see him. We all miss him a lot and it's so different without him here, but he will be here in <span style="font-size: x-large;">6 more days</span> for the entire summer and we are so <span style="font-size: x-large;">excited!!!</span></div>

The <span style="font-size: x-large;">days and moments</span> keep passing and I can't make them stop! I feel like I'm getting old and it's harder to remember everything and it makes me sad. I want to remember every little cute expression on my kids' faces or funny things they say. I want to remember how it feels to be our little family right now. Since time will inevitably keep marching on, I'm trying to enjoy and memorize all the moments I can.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Our tiny, precious <span style="font-size: x-large;">Juliet</span> is crawling and babbling and eating food and pulling herself up. I love the stage she is in so much and I want to just pause it! She brings me so much joy... sometimes I can hardly believe I get to be her mother. Now that she can crawl (a real crawl!), she follows me around and then sits on my feet, looks up at me, and laughs. She smiles so easily and is so content with such simple things. My favorite is after the other 2 kiddos are in bed and she has us all to herself for a while. We lie on the floor with her and she belly-laughs when we tickle her and talk to her. I can't imagine anything better.</div>

<br />Our spunky sweetheart, <span style="font-size: x-large;">Lilah </span>girl... she is 3! I can't say 3 is my favorite age, since it comes with tantrums when things don't go her way (because she knows Exactly how she wants everything). But regardless, she is sensitive, tender, loving, perceptive, and so enthusiastic about Everything she does. Yesterday, we were waiting in a long line at the grocery store. Lilah was completely happy entertaining herself singing "Frozen" songs very loudly in the cart. The woman in front of us thanked Lilah afterward for making her wait much more enjoyable. I am always so proud of her, especially when she notices someone's feelings and tries to help. She is our sweetheart.</div>

<br />And oh, <span style="font-size: x-large;">Ethie</span>... Our boy is so complicated and so full of life that sometimes it's hard for me to understand him and keep up with him. James and he have developed a special relationship and I love watching them working together. He has spent the last couple of Saturdays working up a sweat helping James expand the garden and do home-repairs. When he is motivated, he can do amazing things! He is also THE gentlest big brother to Juliet. He hates to hear her cry and will make her laugh or bring her to me. He and Lilah fight and tease, but they adore each other and can't stay apart. There have been many times lately when I am filled with affection and appreciation for the person Ethan is. He has so many gifts and I hope he knows how much I love him, even as we struggle together.</div>

Wow, having <span style="font-size: x-large;">3 kids</span> has changed things. I feel like they are each wanting/needing something different at the same time, at all times! How do people do it? And with more kids?? We are <span style="font-size: x-large;">happy and well</span>, just busy and tired (<i>well, the parents are tired, not the kids</i>.) We miss our family and friends that are far away from us. And I miss keeping in touch with all of you, so this is my attempt to catch up a little bit so I can stay in touch better. Plus, Nate asked for pictures of Thanksgiving of 2013, so here they are!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Since this was our first <span style="font-size: x-large;">Thanksgiving</span> in our new house, people were kind enough to come to us. It was so fun to be able to host my family (<i>most of them... we missed Dad and Jeanette</i>)! As I get older and see my siblings less, I appreciate and love them even more. They are all such good, remarkable people and it makes me so happy to be around them. Plus, Mar's husband Dave is wonderful, and he and James make it perfect! </div>

This year especially, we recognized that there was <span style="font-size: x-large;">a lot to be thankful for</span>. We had a thankful tree in our hallway, that we could add to whenever we wanted. It is <span style="font-size: x-large;">full.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Grace </span>means <i>"the free and unmerited favor of God."</i> Every day we feel the favor of God because she is in our lives and in our family. Juliet is such a blessing to us and I can hardly type these words without becoming emotional. She had a rough start and I still have a hard time talking about her birth, which is why I haven't written about it yet, I guess. But I feel like I don't want another day to go by without documenting here how much we all adore her and what an <span style="font-size: x-large;">absolutely wonderful</span> little person she is!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Juliet is <span style="font-size: x-large;">THE HAPPIEST</span> little baby I have ever known. On her 3rd day of life, I took this picture of her smiling, feeding tube and nasal cannula and all...</div>

Her smile is so contagious because her whole little face lights up and she just looks so <span style="font-size: x-large;">joyful.<span style="font-size: small;"> <span style="font-size: large;">She will just be sitting while I do something, but the second I look at her or talk to her, she breaks into that beautiful smile!

She is <span style="font-size: x-large;">such </span>a content little baby. She wakes up happy and smiling and likes to just lie on a blanket or in bed and talk and look around. I move her around from the blanket to the swing to the bouncy seat to the playmat when she starts to get restless and then she's happy again. She rarely cries, but will let me know she's hungry by making little noises and sucking on her fists. Last week she started sucking her thumb and now she does it all the time. I actually think it is so adorable because she soothes herself with it when she's tired and she looks so cute sucking away.</div>

She has always been a good sleeper, which I am very thankful to her for. She loves to be swaddled, which helps her sleep so well, I think. I swaddle her and put her in bed about 9 or 10 pm and she'll wake up about 4 or 5 am. Then I bring her in my bed, feed her, and she goes right back to sleep until we all get up about 7 or 8 am.</div>

<br />She is such a <span style="font-size: x-large;">snuggler </span>and she really loves to be held. It's so hard to put her down and get things done when she is cooing and smiling at me! Lots of times when I'm holding her and talking to someone, she will start smiling and cooing at them until they notice her and pay attention to her. And then she breaks into a huge grin, of course!</div>

There are so many times that I look over at Juliet and she smiles at me, or when I'm holding her and I just breathe in her sweet baby smell, and I say a prayer of thankfulness that she is my little baby. Sometimes I can't even believe that she is in our family and that she brings us so much joy. Considering that the first time I saw her after she was born, she looked like this...</div>

I cannot believe we've made it this long pregnant! This pregnancy has been full of ups and downs and unexpected things. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>At 8 weeks, I started bleeding heavily and we thought we'd lost our baby. We were <span style="font-size: x-large;">so thankful</span> to see the little heartbeat pumping away on the ultrasound. </li>
<li>We really wanted to have a homebirth this time, but we found out baby is<span style="font-size: x-large;"> breech</span> at about 34 weeks and it did NOT want to turn (despite many, many efforts). Midwives aren't allowed to attend breech births at home, but thankfully we found a doctor in Oklahoma City who was willing and eager even to help us have a natural breech delivery (in the hospital). Yay!</li>
<li>I've had lots of contractions and even thought I was in labor around 40 weeks, but they've always gone away. The doctor said he would let us go to <span style="font-size: x-large;">42 weeks</span>, so we've been patiently waiting and hoping labor would start on its own! I tried to do lots of walking activities at the zoo and places with the kids, bounced on my birth ball, jumped on the trampoline, rode a camel, etc. I haven't been too uncomfortable, thankfully, except for this last week, when I've just been so tired and ready to have some energy back! And we are sooo ready to meet this little baby!</li>
<li>July 30th, James and I drove to Okla City for an appointment with the doctor. They did a sonogram and the baby is measuring 39/40 weeks and fluid levels are good. The doctor really advocated for me to wait as long as I could to go into labor on my own, since I can't have an epidural and pitocin is no fun without it (I did that with Lilah). He doesn't want me to have an epidural so I can push most effectively since baby is breech. So he scheduled our induction for <span style="font-size: x-large;">Aug 1 at 6 am!</span></li>
<li>We had prayed with the kids and with each other and James had given me a blessing the night before our appointment, and both of us felt that this was a good decision. We are ready to meet our baby and I trust the doctor that he will help us do what he feels is best. So tomorrow morning, we are headed to the hospital! We feel <span style="font-size: x-large;">so blessed</span> to have this little one coming into our family and we are so excited to finally be able to meet it and hold it and have it with us!!! The kids are acting like it's Christmas Eve :)</li>
</ul>

We are really thankful for all the thoughts and prayers that we have felt throughout this pregnancy. We feel that we have been guided in our decisions and even though things haven't gone the way we hoped or planned, we feel peaceful about whatever we need to do to get this baby here safely. I can't believe how much I already love this little person and I can't wait to meet it tomorrow!!!</div>

My best friend from Georgia, <span style="font-size: x-large;">Amber Melville and her family</span>, came to visit us last week! They were driving back from Colorado and we're right in the middle, yay! She has been such a wonderful friend to me and I just love her and her sweet family. I miss her a lot and even though it made it harder to see them leave again, it was so nice to get to spend a couple of days with them!</div>

Ethan turned <span style="font-size: x-large;">8</span> on July 22nd! It was a little hard to plan anything this year, since we didn't know when baby would come, but we're planning a big celebration when he gets <span style="font-size: x-large;">baptized</span> at the end of August! He's been so excited to turn 8 and even though he didn't get to share his birthday with this new baby (<i>he really wanted to!</i>), he is happy to still have the earliest birthday of the year in our family :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
James took Ethan to <span style="font-size: x-large;">LaserQuest</span> with Ethie's friend and his dad the Saturday before his birthday. Ethan had been talking about it for a long time and they had a blast! That night Ethan, Mom, and I went to a <span style="font-size: x-large;">mother/son luau</span> at the water park. He went down the slide at least 20 times and I had fun watching him :)</div>

My (Lisa's) <span style="font-size: x-large;">mom </span>got here on July 15th and we are soooo happy to have her here! My "due date" came and went on July 17, so we've had lots of fun time to just spend together, keeping the kiddos busy and happy. She has been so fun and helpful with cooking yummy meals, reading lots of library books, playing games, cleaning, and just keeping me company. <span style="font-size: x-large;">I love her!</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We went to the <span style="font-size: x-large;">zoo </span>with some friends the day after we got here. It was actually not too hot and very fun!</div>

We were sooooo happy to pick <span style="font-size: x-large;">Ethan </span>up from the airport, after almost 5 weeks! Too long, especially in the summertime. Lilah was <span style="font-size: x-large;">so </span>excited to see him and they held hands and skipped down the airport halls together. <span style="font-size: x-large;">Sweetness!</span> They haven't slept apart since he got home and I'm so glad they have each other (even if there is a <i>lot </i>of teasing involved).</div>

I think it is safe to say that I'm officially <span style="font-size: x-large;">"nesting."</span> And apparently, James is too! We've been working on several projects and almost have the house ready for baby! I really wanted to get as much done before baby as possible, since we will have family visit and I know I won't be able to get much done after baby's here. Plus it's nice to feel <span style="font-size: x-large;">settled </span>in our home!</div>

When we moved out of my mom's house, James found out that she was going to get rid of the <span style="font-size: x-large;">old iron bench</span> that had been in the yard. It was kind of gross and mossy and falling apart, so I didn't really understand why he wanted it. But it fit in the moving truck, so we brought it with us to OK. About a month ago, he took the bench apart, bought new wood, cut and sanded it, painted and stained it, and put it back together. It is<span style="font-size: x-large;"> so beautiful </span>and I am so impressed, as always, by my talented husband!!! </div>

When we moved here last fall, we heard that there was a <span style="font-size: x-large;">Blue Bell Taste of Summer</span> day with unlimited Blue Bell ice cream. Can you imagine?!?! I think Blue Bell ice cream is James' favorite thing. So we got to go a couple of weekends ago and we were <span style="font-size: x-large;">not </span>disappointed!!! It was right in downtown Broken Arrow and there were activities for the kids (and dads :) and all the ice cream we could eat. I think James had <span style="font-size: x-large;">6 </span>by the time we left and Lilah and I had 2 1/2 each. It was <span style="font-size: x-large;">awesome :)</span></div>

Our<span style="font-size: x-large;"> Lilah girl</span> has been living in her swimsuit this summer. Even if we're not swimming! We have been swimming a lot too, taking advantage of living four houses down from the neighborhood pool and park. I <span style="font-size: x-large;">love </span>having it so close, especially now that it's so hot and I'm so pregnant! We also bought a little <span style="font-size: x-large;">kiddie pool</span>, which she likes just as much :) </div>

We had a relaxing <span style="font-size: x-large;">Father's Day</span>, with some cards, gifts, lasagna, and lots of love for <span style="font-size: x-large;">James!</span> He is such an involved, fun, loving father to our kiddos and I feel so blessed to have such a good partner in parenting. Hope he feels <span style="font-size: x-large;">very loved, every day! </span> </div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Ethan</span>'s been gone since the beginning of June! He goes up to Ohio to be with his dad and family for a month each summer and he has a great time. But <span style="font-size: x-large;">we miss him</span> lots! Almost every day Lilah says, "And then we go pick up Ethie?" If the doorbell rings, she says, "Ethan!!" and runs to get it. I think it's very sweet that she misses him so much. We've been skyping and talking to him lots on the phone, but we will be so happy to pick him up Friday!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first thing he wanted to do this summer before he left was have a <span style="font-size: x-large;">lemonade stand</span>. He did most the work... found a box, tablecloth, made signs, and helped squeeze lemons for lemonade and make chocolate chip cookies with James. It was a cloudy, overcast day, but he was so determined and enthusiastic and somehow managed to sell out in just a few hours! He was flagging people down in cars, knocking on friend's doors, and talking to everyone he could see. This kid is a born salesguy, I think :)</div>

It is finally <span style="font-size: x-large;">summer-time!!!</span> I guess it's been an unusually cool spring here in OK, which is fine with me, since I know it will be <span style="font-size: x-large;">hot </span>for long enough!</div>

We started the summer at the Broken Arrow <span style="font-size: x-large;">Rooster Days</span> parade and fair. Not sure what Rooster Days actually is, but the kids had lots of fun!</div>

Well, it's not feeling very much like <span style="font-size: x-large;">spring </span>around here. But Ethie (excuse me, now he insists on me calling him "Ethan," sad) was out of school for a whole week and a day, so we had to do something fun! Plus I figured this is probably the last fun little trip we will take as a family of 4 (since Ethie will be in Ohio in June and baby comes in July)! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I looked around online and asked people and it seems like the favorite place to go around here that's not too far is <span style="font-size: x-large;">Branson, MO.</span> I kind of thought Branson was only for older folk to go watch some singing and dancing, but it was the perfect place for our little family getaway! I found this place </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
and with the <span style="font-size: x-large;">spring break</span> package, we got 2 nights at the inn, unlimited access to the indoor waterpark and pool, blacklight mini-golf, arcade spending money, 2 pizzas, and tickets to 2 shows! It was perfect because it was a super cold weekend, but everything was located right around the inn, so we didn't have to go very far. And we were constantly doing something!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Unfortunately, I didn't take many pictures because we were so busy having fun (so I guess that's a good thing :) . Ethan's favorite was the <span style="font-size: x-large;">indoor waterpark</span>, especially playing water basketball with James. Lilah loved going down the little waterslide on her tummy (over and over and over). One night they had a <span style="font-size: x-large;">family party</span> at the arcade, so we stayed up with the kids til midnight, playing games and eating treats. It was definitely vacation!</div>

I think because the shows were right at the inn, I expected them to be a little bit <i>*lame*</i>. I made reservations for the <span style="font-size: x-large;">"Comedy Jamboree"</span> and <span style="font-size: x-large;">"Amazing Pets Show" </span>and they were awesome!!! The comedy show was actually hilarious (although I seem to think everything's hilarious when I'm pregnant). There were skits, audience participation, and even a non-funny group of singers. It gave us a taste of what Branson is famous for and the kids even loved it too. The pet show was their favorite, of course, and fun to watch with them!</div>

I went to check on <span style="font-size: x-large;">Lilah </span>last night and she wasn't in her bed. I found her snuggled up with <span style="font-size: x-large;">Ethie </span>in his little twin bed.</div>

This has actually happened a lot lately and it makes my heart <span style="font-size: x-large;">melt<span style="font-size: small;"> <span style="font-size: small;">every time.</span> </span></span> To think that Lilah would want to be close to Ethie and that she feels safe and happy with him, and that he likes her to sleep with him even though she "kicks a lot and pushes me off the bed sometimes" (<i>Ethie's words, haha :)</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Those two have gotten <span style="font-size: x-large;">so close</span> lately, I think because Lilah has gotten older and can play more. Lilah wants to do <i>everything </i>Ethie does, just like he does it. She follows him around and copies him and he loves it :) She's started singing "Here comes the boom" and "Gangnam style" (with revised lyrics) just like E does and it cracks us up.<br />

My favorite thing is when <span style="font-size: x-large;">Ethie reads to Lilah.</span> He loves to read and she loves to be read to, so this is a perfect combination. Lots of times when I'm trying to make dinner or do something, I ask him to read to her and he is so sweet about it.<br />

One more story about my sweet kids... The other day when I picked Ethie up from school, I could tell right away that it had been a hard day. He seemed grumpy and told me that he had gotten a "yellow" in his class. He immediately asked if he could play with his friends and when I asked him what our rule was (no friends for yellow), he flipped out. He doesn't have temper tantrums like he used to, but they still happen once in a while and this was a royal one. He was kicking the seats, banging the windows, screaming, etc. I was trying to ignore him and get home so I could help him, and he wouldn't listen to anything I had to say anyway. He was in his out of control place and I know that I can't get through to that until he calms down. <br />
<br />
After about 15 minutes of this, Lilah was very concerned and reached out her hand to touch him. He was still flailing and he kicked her hand. I saw her face in the rearview and she looked totally shocked. And then she started crying, I think mostly because it hurt her feelings. All of a sudden, I felt Ethie get still and quiet. I looked in the mirror and saw him watch her crying. I could see him totally change and his heart soften. He quickly reached out his hand to her and rubbed her arm. Then he leaned over and whispered to her that he was sorry and he would never hurt her and he loved her. He kept rubbing her arm and whispering in her ear until she calmed down and looked at him. Then they held hands in silence the rest of the way home.<br />
<br />
It was so powerful to me because since Ethie was little, I have struggled to reach him and help him when he is angry. I usually feel totally helpless and have to just let him get it out of his system, which is so hard to watch. It was so incredible to see him instantly soften and regain control when he realized that he had hurt his little sister. He loves her so much and that love is stronger than his anger. I was so thankful at that moment that they are in each others lives because I know Ethan needs Lilah and she needs him, and they were meant to be siblings.</div>

She is at such a <span style="font-size: x-large;">fun age</span>, learning and changing so much every day! She makes me laugh all the time with the surprising things she says and many cute expressions she has. She is definitely full of personality and such a lively little person!</div>

Lilah is a <span style="font-size: x-large;">nurturer</span>. At most times, she has at least one of her many animals in her arms. Her favorite are her kitties and monkeys. She spends lots of time dressing them, reading to them, feeding them, talking to them, etc. If I give her a drink or snack, she makes sure to share with her "kids." </div>

She loves to play <span style="font-size: x-large;">"storytime"</span> (see above picture)<span style="font-size: x-large;">.</span> I've been taking her and Caylee (the little girl I watch) to storytimes at the many libraries around here and lately she loves to pretend that she is leading the storytime. We do the hello song, then she reads us a book, then we do an action song and the goodbye song. It's very cute, even if we sing that darn hello song 100 times a day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She <i>loves loves loves</i> to <span style="font-size: x-large;">sing.</span> When she is happy or excited, you can tell because she is hopping around and singing. She makes up words and songs and also sings her favorites, "Twinkle Star," "Row Your Boat," "ABCs," "I Am a Child of God," or "Jesus Loves Me." Her little voice gets so high, it's amazing!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She is a <span style="font-size: x-large;">fashionista!</span> Our house is <i>constantly </i>littered with clothes, because she is constantly changing her clothes! It is pretty ridiculous. Her favorites are jammies and swimsuits. Yesterday she came out with a jammy top, swimsuit skirt over leggings, rainboots, a Christmas lights necklace, and 3 headbands on her head. She will wear that for a while and then spot something else she wants to wear and start all over again. She also loves to change undies, just because she loves her monkey and princess undies :) Also, many times she forgets to put on a top or bottoms, so she is half-naked in many of my pictures. Oh, well.</div>

She loves to <span style="font-size: x-large;">talk</span>, even though she is still pretty timid around new people. She likes to tell "stories" with lots of hand gestures and some made-up words (and gets pretty upset if you don't listen to the whole thing.) She just started using the word "actually" and it's awesome.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
She loves her <span style="font-size: x-large;">daddy</span>. She is usually a mommy's girl when she gets hurt or needs something, but she gets so excited when James get home every day and she loves to play with him!</div>

Our <span style="font-size: x-large;">Ethie-man</span> is such a <span style="font-size: x-large;">fun kid!</span> He makes <span style="font-size: x-large;">friends </span>so easily, and already has a ton of friends in our new neighborhood. We kept him at the same <span style="font-size: x-large;">school </span>(25 min away!) because he's done well this year and has a really nice teacher that he likes. And the school counselor and administration are wonderful and really want to help him, which makes a huge difference. He really struggled at school last year, so it's wonderful to see him happy and thriving! He still has his occasional difficulties, but he is always so happy when he gets a "green," which has happened a lot this year. <span style="font-size: x-large;"> So proud of our Ethan!</span></div>

He loves to ride his <span style="font-size: x-large;">scooter and bike</span> around the neighborhood, visiting new friends and making more new friends along the way! That's our Ethie.<br />
<br />
He loves to play football video games and practice basketball with James, which they like to do after dinner. <br />
<br />
He loves <span style="font-size: x-large;">legos </span>and knex and he's amazingly good at following instructions and building things! <br />
<br />
He loves to <span style="font-size: x-large;">read</span>, mostly "Diary of a Wimpy Kid," "Geronimo Stilton," "Captain Underpants," or "Goosebumps" books. He usually reads in his bed at night with a headlight until he falls asleep. <br />
<br />
He is very <span style="font-size: x-large;">helpful </span>around the house and earns his allowance by folding his laundry, putting away silverware, setting the table, vacuuming, or whatever else we can think of! <br />
<br />

<span style="text-align: center;">This is our baby at </span><span style="font-size: x-large; text-align: center;">21 weeks!</span><span style="text-align: center;"> James (jokingly) said that people are going to think we are primitive for showing off 2D pictures of the baby, but I still think it's fun to see the little profile! And the little hand up by the face, if you can't tell :) Everything looked good with the baby and it's growing right on schedule, so that is </span><span style="font-size: x-large; text-align: center;">happy news!!!</span><span style="text-align: center;"> </span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My amniotic fluid levels were pretty low at this scan, so my midwife is having me drink a gallon of water a day and rest on my left side as much as possible (which is not super easy when I'm walking to the bathroom every other minute and trying to help my little Lilah). We have a follow-up ultrasound Monday to make sure things are okay, so I'm hoping I was just dehydrated and it will resolve itself. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For today, resting gives me a chance to blog a little bit! I want to catch up on our other kids, because they are just so stinking cute... </div>

We've made it to <span style="font-size: x-large;">18 weeks<span style="font-size: large;"> with this pregnancy! We had a scare at about 8 weeks when I started bleeding and thought I had lost the baby, so I have been even more <span style="font-size: x-large;">thankful </span>for every week that goes by with a healthy baby! I'm feeling much <i>bet</i><i>ter </i>and getting much <i>bigger </i>and just enjoying starting to feel those little movements that are <span style="font-size: x-large;">so </span>sweet and reassuring.</span></span></div>

I <span style="font-size: x-large;">love </span>an excuse to show my family how much I <span style="font-size: x-large;">love </span>them! And they <i>definitely </i>showed me how much they <span style="font-size: x-large;">love </span>me. I am so blessed!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We put out little <span style="font-size: x-large;">treats </span>for the kiddos in the morning and they were happy. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;">Made <span style="font-size: x-large;">pink waffles</span> with homemade strawberry jam and it was yummy. </span> </span><br />
Took Lilah to her first <span style="font-size: x-large;">Valentine exchange</span> with little friends and she was so cute!<br />
Had yummy <span style="font-size: x-large;">lunch </span>with James and Lilah at Ruby Tuesday (<i>thank you, Mom and Dad Cook for the gift card</i>)!<br />
Helped Ethie make <span style="font-size: x-large;">Valentines</span> when he got home from school (for some reason, his class party is Friday).<br />
