I cannot believe I could not come up with another title for this post, except to announce that we are yet again having a snow day:) The kids are thrilled and I am always thrilled to be cooped up with my boys. We have been going through the boys baby clothes, weeding out what little Princess can use and what we will be passing on to the White family as they anticipate their little boy in April. It is such an emotional and fun thing to do as you reminisce about each little outfit. Kyle thinks it is fun to see how little he used to be:) Considering the fact he is outgrowing his size 8 jeans right now it is remarkable that he used to fit in 0-3 month clothes:)
It has been a crazy few days as we adjust to the idea of pink in our house:) I have had such wonderful advice already about raising little girls and the one that sticks with me the most is the idea that you need to put one of those headband bows in her hair right away so she will get used to having something on her head. Our dear friend, Caroline always has a hair bow in and I will have to ask Lynn if she did that:) I passed the hair bow advice on to Mike and I just got a puzzled look from him in response:)
Kyle is really into the idea of a big brother shirt for he and David, so I am browsing the internet (as well as Gymboree because they just put all their baby clothes on sale-what divine timing!!!) looking for a big brother shirt that would work for their ages and sizes.
Well, I am off to scout out more baby stuff and walk down memory lane again. I will probably not have many cute snow pics to blog later since this is one of those days that it will probably be too cold to get out today. The wind is blowing like crazy and it is still blowing snow around. The boys have not asked YET, but I know it is coming...
Happy snow day!:)

IT'S A GIRL!!!!!
We are so excited to share that we went for our ultrasound today! It appears that despite the multitude of boys on both sides of our family, we are having a girl!! We are in shock but thankful beyond belief that everything looked healthy and wonderful today. She is growing just like she is suppose to. We had a wonderful ultrasound tech that looked very closely and feels that she is just perfect! We are so beyond thrilled and I am off to share the good news with Kyle at school!

Masterpiece
Dear Little Wonder,
Do you know little one how we love you so already? You came bounding into our life like a Freight Train many, many weeks ago. You announced your presence with a big bang and our family has never been the same since. It is almost absurd now to think you were so unexpected, when we talk of you so often. Your brothers are ecstatic about your arrival. Your brother, Kyle is the one that you may hear ask lots of questions about your size and my health, and your other brother David is the one that you may feel giving you "zerberts" through my belly and you probably hear his mischievous giggle. They are quite a pair and I know they will love you to pieces.
We are on the cusp of being able to identify you by the color of your nursery and hopefully even your name. (Just know little one, that it is not looking good for Esther if you are a little girl-I still have a few more months to "encourage" and I will keep you posted). But before we break out the blue or pink, I just want to pause and cherish this moment. Right now the only way we can identify you is by the hand that made you. You were created by the Master so therefore you are His masterpiece. He knitted you together in my womb and knew about you before the beginning of time. Your Daddy and I may be surprised by your presence in our life, but God is not. He delights in surprising us and you, little one, are the ultimate surprise.
Just know that I cannot wait to know what to paint your nursery, but I do not want this monumental moment to slip away and forget where you really came from. You were designed by the same hand that spoke the Heavens and Earth into being.
I cannot wait to break out the blue or pink, because if you must know it has taken great restraint to wait and buy anything for you until we know pink or blue. Your Mommy is quite the shopper and soon we will be so busy getting ready for your big arrival that I did not want to miss the opportunity to relish you as the King's Masterpiece.
We love you,
Mommy and Daddy
