A new beginning

We started school this year after Labor day. I wanted ds#1 to have a chance to being acclimated to being back home. Otherwise, we would have started in early August. It's been a slow start, trying to ease the kids back into things, but it's been fun. We had a bit of a shock when we discovered that I was pregnant about a week into school. That would explain my moodiness! We're happy, and the kids are ecstatic. So far we have three votes for a girl and the little one has requested a little brother. Mom and Dad just pray for a healthy baby. It has been fun going online each week and letting the kids see how their sibling is growing and maturing. So far they keep saying the baby looks like an alien, my reply? "Well, you used to look like that, and look at how cute you turned out!" I think this year will prove to be a very exciting and interesting school year!
