News and Museum

Well, I guess it's time to tell the world.  We've got a fourth bun in the oven!  I'll be honest, sometimes I think to myself, "what was I thinking?!"  I can't handle three kids, what made me think I could do 4?!  I'm very nervous.  But we are all pretty excited, especially the kids.  I'm due on Kate's 3rd birthday...hopefully she likes her present :)
Grandpa had business in DC and was able to drive up to spend a quick, fun weekend with us.  We loved  it!
We headed down to Philadelphia to take advantage of a Groupon I've had for quite some time to the Museum on Natural Sciences.  It was a great museum, the kids loved it.  I don't think Rachel ever stopped skipping.
 Digging for dinosaur bones


 Katelyn loves the book If you give a Moose a Muffin
 They had a butterfly room and it was a definite highlight.  One even landed on Rachel's hand.

 Before Grandpa left we were able to sneak in some sugar cookies...good times!


One morning, not sure when this was, I looked out the window and saw this.  Rachel went to a neighbors to borrow some snow pants and made her own snowman.  And this was all before she had to go to school.

 This girl rarely naps these days.  She still goes in her crib everyday, but most the time she sings and plays...perfectly happy in the dark.  But occasionally she gets pretty worn out, so I had to document it.
 St. Patrick's Day green dinner with Stebo!  Uncle Steve gets married next week.  We've really enjoyed having family "living" on the East Coast for once :)
And this is Rachel just yesterday outside reading and enjoying the sunshine.  Don't be fooled, it really wasn't that warm.  I think it was high 40's.  We really haven't had more than a couple days of warm weather.  I'm SO ready for spring!!!

I love the fact that Rach has time BEFORE school to make a snowman. She is going to rock the world b/c she makes the most of her day.
Who took the #4 picture??? Did you have Rach on top of the kitchen table? Very clever announcement. And congrats again. Lucky family, lucky kid!
