Well It Happened!

Some older boy on the bus told Spencer that Santa Clause was not real! When he got in the car from the bus he told me about what they had talked about, but then followed it by saying- "but he really is real mom." I just think that he is a bit too young to not believe anymore.

Also the weather seemed just too windy and cold today and so for an afternoon treat we made hot chocolate for the first time this season. My favorite for sure, and I think I have 2 boys who agree with me.

Spencer's Special Day

Spencer came running into our room this morning at 6:30 saying "It's my birthday today." Only 6 short years ago Spencer was born into our family. He has been such a joy- and trying of patience- but we love him none the less. All we've heard this morning from him is; "Since it's my special day..." and then he proceeds to tell us what he wants. We have a busy day planned with school this afternoon and then his 'friends' party this evening. We are so blessed to have Spencer as a part of our family.

Happy Birthday Spencer!!

Oh the DISAPPOINTMENT...

... as Spencer stepped of the bus and declared "Mom, I voted for Barack Obama!" I feel as though we have failed!! :)

Spencer's school had a little election today- which I thought was really neat. I don't think children are too young to talk to about politics. Although the reasoning for this 6 year old on why he voted for Obama was so funny. He said- but there were two boys (Obama & Biden), the other one was a boy and girl (McCain & Palin). I like the girl, but I wanted the one with 2 boys. I took the picture of Spencer right after he got home- you can see his little sticker that says, 'I VOTED'.

The Word is OUT

We were waiting to see how long we could go before either, people started noticing or we had to tell people. We didn't make it quite as far as our friend- (Tami), but we did pretty good. Yes we are having yet another child in the Spring. I am due the end of April, but will most liking be having the baby near the middle, if not the beginning. We think we are excited- we feel a bit like crazy people though!! What in the world are we going to do with 3 kids?!! We are still trying to decide if we want to not find out the gender is again, like we did with Jamison. It was so fun right after he was born to hear 'it's a BOY'. Spencer and Jamey really want to find out; they want to know if we are having a girl. We only have 5 to 6 weeks until we have to make the decision. Until then- I'll keep praying for another little boy. :-)

Here is our utlasound picture from our 7 week visit. It is so AMAZING to hear a heart beat at only 7 weeks.
