Piano Recital

The girls had a piano recital last Thursday. They both did a really good job. Emma was pretty nervous, and she forgot the name of her song, but she played well. Her song was "Money Can't Buy Everything."

Julia also played well. Her songs were "Raisins and Almonds" and "The Hokey Pokey."

It's A Baby!

Oh wait you knew that........the question is boy or girl?





After waiting patiently Matthew will get to have a little Sister!! Oh he already has one of those doesn't he? Well he gets to have another one! I know, poor guy and poor daddy with only one boy to do all of the manly stuff with. I'll admit to being disappointed but I think it's mostly because I was counting on a boy so much. This whole time I've been thinking of the baby as a he and thinking of boy names. I thought I made a deal that I would have one more baby but it must be a boy. Somebody obviously did not get the memo. The sonogram technician was very confident that it was a girl. At the beginning she asked us if we wanted to find out and then she asked us what we had so she knew that we were wanting a boy. At first she thought the baby wouldn't cooperate to find out at all but then she moved. I think I'm glad about that because I would've been counting on it being a boy the rest of the time.
Well now we need to start thinking of girls names instead!

Bowling for Birthdays!

Julia had a birthday party with some of her friends at Sparetime Family Fun Center, they went bowling, played some of the arcade games, had cake, and opened presents.

Happy Birthday Julia!

It is Julia's 10th birthday today. I can't believe we've hit double digits! She is a great daughter and big sister to her siblings. She loves to sing and dance and is still doing great with her piano playing. Julia likes to play with her Webkinz and her new Nintendo DS she got for Christmas. She is having a party with some friends on Saturday. We are taking them bowling and she is very excited for that.
