I am sorry that it has taken me this long to post what we are having. We found out last wed, but then had a trip planned for the weekend and the first of this week has been slightly crazy. Anyway, for those of you have patiently been waiting, we are having.... drum roll please..... another girl! We were a little disappointed at first, but that wears off pretty quick. Sydney was the one that was the most disappointed. She went with me to my appointment and when the lady said that it was a sister she let her shoulders slump and gave a great big sigh and said "I wanted a baby boy." My mom was there and she talked to her throughout the rest of the appointment about how fun it would be to teach her how to read, how to play with the food, and teach her the alphabet etc. By the end she was okay with it. She still every once in a while will say that she wants a baby brother. It is kind of funny, I know so many people and have talked to several others that are having boys. I thought that just maybe we would have hit a streak of boys and get lucky. Maybe next time.

Easter...
A couple of weeks before Easter I went to Sears and had the girls pictures taken. The lady taking the pictures did a good job of getting cute smiles from the girls, but that was about all that she did. Very few pictures were centered and in half the shots she cut Sydney's head in half. When I got home and showed Weston he was just a little miffed. He said "Why don't we just buy a camera and take them ourselves." He is such a perfectionist, I have no doubts that his would be better than most professionals. Here are some of the best pictures. We were actually able to get some really cute pictures of them when we started cropping the different photos.




We spent Easter weekend in Richfield with Weston's family. I like a dumb nut forgot to take still shots of anything. At least I remembered the video camera. We had a really good time. Especially Sydney who absolutely loved playing with her cousins. We did all of the usual things, Easter Egg Hunt on Sat.(with Weston's entire family- aunts,uncles, cousins etc. quite the affair), dying easter eggs and plenty of yummy food. Gotta love the food. I think that I gained 5 lbs in that weekend alone.
