Why am I posting at 1:30am while congested and after taking care of a feverish boy today? If there were any questions about my sanity, well doubt no more - I am certifiable. My sister & her hubby got in today and after eating lunch and teasing us a little more about how they knew the gender of the baby and we all didn't we watched their wedding video. My brother in law's dad does video editing and added a trailer to the end of the wedding stuff. It was a cute story about how these wild newlyweds driving this red Cheville started the record breaking fires in Tahoe during their honeymoon & now they were having a baby and it was a...wait for it... - girl! It was a fun way to find out and I'm excited that she's having a girl. It's actually a little bitter sweet. Rachelle is due May 20 {so far} and my mom's birthday was May 23rd - we're hoping she is born on that day. The baby's name will be Amellia Renee {Renee was my mom's name}. So while I was thrilled about having a little neice only 18 mos younger than my own daughter I was also very sad. How I wish my mom could be here for my sister right now during her pregnancy & after the baby is born. She would be ecstatic & like many of us be saying "I told you so!". We all knew {except the happy couple of course} that they'd be pregnant much sooner than they had planned.
So after finding out about the baby we opened gifts from the people who drew our names. I got a HOT pair of boots {LOVE them}, some fun scrappy stuff & a handmade apron {do you know how many apron contests I've entered?} from my sister. Michael and Lydia have more fun toys, though with Michael's fever he wasn't too interested in any of it. Then it was time for clean up, dinner, more clean up, bedtime, Michael woke up & decided he wanted to eat {good sign!}, bed time again and then it was on. We play lots of games as a family and tonight was no different. We played three games of electronic Catch Phrase {girls won twice!}, a game of Risk {I was the first one out}, Clue & Balderdash. Tonight was not my night with games. It was fun though. And now I'm waiting & hoping to see if my hubby gets online but it's not looking like he will so I will turn in. I was going to post the Santa Hat pics but got sidetracked with the baby talk so I'll do that another day. I hope you all are recovering well from the holidays and will be back to posting & reading more regularly soon. Thanks for visiting!

How fun--another girl! Congrats to your sister!
HAHAHAHAHA - WE ARE ALWAYS RIGHT! ;-) I'm excited about it being a girl too, I think it was meant to be. My mom and I were talking about the possibility of it being born on Renee's birthday too and thought that was pretty bittersweet as well. Sounds like you guys are having a great time all together again - and YAY APRON!!! I ALMOST got you one too just because of all the contesting you did! Can't wait to see your santa hat pics!!!
I hope you & the kiddo get feeling better quickly! The picture of the elves in Santa hats (next post down) is adorable.
Blessings,

How wonderful that Rachelle and Jake are going to have a baby girl and name her Renee! I pray that it will be on your mother's birthday. I know she will be watching from heaven and cheering you all on!
