So yeah.... I have sorta been holding off posting about this but yeah its time to come out and proclaim to the world... We have baby number 6 (pictured above the blurry bean shaped thing lol) due April 7th of 2010...Yes we are insane...No it wasn't planned...But we are already in love... isn't it funny. The first day I found out I was freaking out... I cried, I didn't tell Sheldon. The next day I got a grip figured we would deal and things would be okay... so I told Sheldon who took it like a champ and though worried how we will handle it emotionally and financially has been over all positive and supportive of his pukeholic wife who spends near every evening groaning and attempting to "act" human. By the third day I knew I was head over heals in love with this new baby. I just knew that no matter how hard it was going to be, how much I was going to puke, how tight the finances are going to be that we love this little one already and s/he is already a very real part of our family...at least to me.
Anyways I figure I have a bunch to post about. I have just been so sick and nonfunctional that I haven't found much energy to post, or do the dishes, or cook dinner, or do the laundry... you get the idea.. its not pretty here... Hopefully in a few weeks it will ease off and I can at least feel human again. Keziah had a great birthday, she turned one on August 30th. She has been walking for about a month and is so stinking cute. Last week Sheldon got the chance to go to a soccer game with his brother and sisters, and the boys all got to go camping with Grandma and Grandpa Nicholes. I promise there will be pictures... I just dont have any. Seems our camera was absent at most events. I forgot it at Keziah's birthday (too busy worrying about presents and cakes and such) and I wasn't at either of the other events. But we will get them.
David and Nathan are also in soccer now and have their first game on Saturday so there will be pictures then too
In the meantime here are a few from the month of August... some picnics and fun.
McCaul enjoying a s'more
Keziah enjoying her first ever roasted marshmallow.
Sheldon's birthday...look at all those candles :-) ... I actually made him a cake he could eat... it wasn't that good but the frosting was really yummy so we all licked the frosting off. I made a second cake too, which broke in half and half fell on the floor. That one the frosting wasn't as good but the cake was a winner (aside from the part the floor caught)
David and Nathan showing off their Fair Ribbons. Both put in a large zucchini of which their parents mostly took care of. Next year they are getting their own spot to grow stuff and if they want to enter it in the fair they better be ready to take good care of it because after the initial prep mom and dad aren't doing a thing with the kids' garden.
Nathan also won a first place ribbon for some art work he submitted.
And finally Keziah looking annoyed on her birthday morning cause mommy was trying to stop her long enough to get a picture... but look at that little beautiful girl standing so big and tall.
