When I grow up....

Andrew had his Kindergarten concert at the end of February. The theme was "when I grow up..." and the music teachers asked each of them what they wanted to be when they grow up, and then you were supposed to dress the kids like that profession for the concert. Well I got the list and saw 'artist' behind Andrew's name. I was a little surprised that it wasn't football or baseball player, but didn't really question it. Then I started to find things for his costume and showed him what I was planning on putting together for him....only to have him get really upset that there weren't airplanes involved with the costume. Thoroughly confused I asked his teacher if she knew what was up...turns out that he doesn't want to be an artist. He wants to be a pilot! Not sure how an artist becomes an airplane pilot or vice versa, but after conferences (which is where we found out about the confusion) we had 3 days to come up with a pilot costume....Here he is, our future pilot:

Next year he says he wants to be a dirt bike racer.....hopefully I get more than 3 days to come up with that costume :-)

Introducing Michael Lee

We were blessed with the arrival of Michael Lee on Tuesday, February 15th. He arrived at 8:32 AM weighing 8 lbs 3 oz and was 20 inches long. He had dark hair just like his siblings, and seems to be a pretty calm, relaxed kid so far.Michael arrivals finished off a crazy 24 hours at our house. We kicked off Valentine's day with Andrew waking up saying his ear hurt, and having one side of his face swollen...so off to the Dr. we went. He had an ear infection. Then when we picked up Jenna from daycare that night she said her ear hurt, so we took her to the minute clinic only to be told that they didn't have time to see her so we were left with no choice but to wait till the morning....I already had an appointment scheduled, so we figured we just bring her in with me. Well I went into labor at 1:30 in the morning, and we went to the hospital at 3:30. Grandma Lila brought Jenna to the clinic at 7:50 for her ear, and Michael was born at 8:32 AM....going to the Dr. 3 times in 24 hours made us very thankful for insurance!
