What are little boys and girls made of?

This morning we had an ultrasound for the new little one joining our family. 

When Sarah came home from school this is what we had waiting for her:

She had a great time figuring out from the clues that we are having a little girl.

Spencer is the one who has been on the money from the beginning.  He's always insisted that he had a baby in his tummy too and it was a girl.  Of any of my kids, I would have gone with his pick.  He's always had a remarkable connection between heaven and earth.

In the meantime, Michael got a walker.

We've got to help him with it quite a bit, but it's a fun place to start. 

He was getting a little annoyed and tired by the end.  Who would have thought that seniors and toddlers alike would appreciate the invention of tennis balls.

For Family Home Evening, we made hearts with little notes to each other hung them around the kitchen:

There might be times it seems there is a lot of yelling and screaming and crying around here, but we also have a lot of love in this family.  And one more little girl gets to join us.
