More Crazy Christmas!

Carter is still getting used to Santa - maybe next year.
Who wants a Candy cane?
Poor guy! stuck in the middle and none too happy! Why do we ever get our kids presents when they are perfectly happy with a cardboard box!? Kali, Carter, and Cousin Clark chillin'.

Now have you noticed anyone missing from these pictures? That's right, Jody, the dad, decided to have an emergency appendectomy on Christmas Eve! he then stayed 5 days in the Hospital because of the infectious nature of his gangrenous appendix! He's doing great now and even ran a mile race the other day. according to him it was really slow (7:15), but I can't even run a 10 minute mile on a good day! We are thankful for all of the family that helped us out and watched our kids while I spent time at the hospital with Jody. This was the first time he ever had to spend time hooked up to machines and constantly being poked and prodded. I don't think that he liked it very much. But all is well now. And we are still happy and grateful for what we have. Especially each other!!

We also just found out that we are adding another brother to the mix. Kali will remain the lone princess. She informed me that she doesn't want to be the princess though, she wants to be the queen, I told her she's going to have to fight me for the title of queen. So she said we could share it and there could be 2 queens. HA! We are going to have another boy on June 8th. We are all very excited. The kids all like to hug my 'chubby' belly. At least Joseph says i'm not big yet because he can still fit his arms around my tummy. What a nice little guy!
