This, in my opinion, is the best commercial I have seen in… forever. It cracks me up.

I was able to get our ultrasound picture of baby number 3, or “sprig” as we call her, scanned today thanks to Shane. Here she is!
We got some cool shots this time. They snapped one while she was yawning, which was amazing. She was flipping all around and as always, we were in awe. Truly a miracle. Can’t wait to meet her!

Ethan and I spent the other day making these Valentines for the kids in his class. I think he ate more M&Ms than we put in the boxes. I really liked the way they turned out. It was hard enough to get him to write his name on the paper inside or I would have had him write the name of each friend on the outside of the boxes. Maybe next year!
Original idea found here.

We are PINK here! My mom made these cupcakes with the kids yesterday and delivered them to us this morning, before our ultrasound. I don’t think she meant anything other than Valentine’s love, but I took it as a sign. We are having another girl! I always wanted a sister. Both kids wanted it to be a girl. Tegan informed us that she doesn’t have to be sad now (implying she would have been sad if it had been a brother). We are just happy all appears to be well and we have a sweet, healthy little one<3
Here is the video of the story I posted below. If you didn’t read it, you should before you watch. It kinda sets the stage.
Enjoy!
I was at work yesterday and had this little story recounted to me by Shane last night when I got home:
Shane, Ethan, and Tegan were playing Hide and Seek. Shane was the “hider” and the kids were the “seekers.” There aren’t many places to hide in our little house, but the kids always seem to have a hard time finding us. Anyway, Shane hid in the closet by the front door. And the kids were having a hard time. They started getting a little frantic. Shane decided to call them, having his phone on him. Surprisingly, Ethan answers the phone.
Shane whispers to him, “Find me, Ethan.”
Ethan shouts, “Where are you? I can’t find you!!”
Shane hangs up. The “If you’d like to make a call lady comes on the phone. Ethan starts talking to her…
“I am lost. I can’t find my dad. Can you help me, lady??” (Cracks me up even now!)
Shane calls back and tells Ethan to find him again. Ethan is right out in the living room so Shane is trying to be quiet. Ethan asks for a hint and Shane tells him he is behind a door. Ethan opens the closet door to find Shane. Who scares the crap out of Ethan by shouting. Shane records it on his phone and texts it to me. I am sure our son is scarred for life by his reaction and has peed his pants (I totally would have). Yet, today, he has asked to watch the video a million times. If I can get Shane to be a sport, I will try share it.
Fun times!

On to verse two! I was able to memorize 1 Corinthians 13:4-8a and even my kids learned parts of it. A very encouraging start.
I have loved these verses for a long time and decided they would be good to have committed to memory for all those times I need to cling to these words and the fact that He is all I need, gives me all I need, and will always be there for me. He is the strength of my heart and my portion forever!
