Dan and I are expecting our fourth in December. We will have an ultrasound the very end of July to possibly determine the gender of this baby. Pray all goes well.

Our June
Look at this little girl! Natalie is now pulling herself up on furniture. She does not move around very fast yet but she is up and trying to take all she can from her sisters. Fun

Outing with Staff
Yesterday we had a staff outing with the camp summer staff. Most of the staff took out Kayak's. They had a good time. Our family took a canoe out first and it was nice to be able to leave baby and be able to canoe. Kylie and Alyssia were funny. Kylie was nervous the whole time because it would rock and she was afraid that we would tip over. She had Alyssia pushed to her side of the canoe so she was more in the middle. Alyssia was great. She had her paddle dragging the whole time (helping us paddle). She even sang songs which made Kylie even more mad. Crazy. So we took the canoe back and then took out a paddle boat. Kylie was much better in that. She was paddling with her dad some and was fine.
Natalie was well taken care of by Cliff, Marcia, Ralph, Juanita and Jennifer on the shore. She is now almost 8 months old and crawling some. She gets around pretty fast.

Birthday Party Weekend!
We are having a birthday party for Kylie this weekend. Right now we have Dan's brother and his family of four and my mom, my sister and her family of three running around our house. Grandpa Augenstine and some family friends are still coming tonight later. Then tomorrow for the party we are having quite a crew. Eight kids from Kylie's class at school are coming and most of the parents are staying with them. So in total we will have 15 kids and many adults. So we have a fun filled party planned.

Discovery Center!
This in an impression of Kylie and Alyssia's bodies in this. They had fun putting hand prints and body prints.
We all put our hands in this before we left at the end of the day. We had a great time. Afterwards we ate at Perkins and it was a night where kids eat for free (yeah) and the balloon guy was there. He was one of the best balloon artists I had ever seen. Kylie got a butterfly and Alyssia got a dog. All fell asleep on the way home so ended well also. Monday, March 23, 2009
The Kids
Sunday, March 1, 2009
Somewhat Nice Weather
My parents came to visit for the weekend. My mom was originally coming to watch kids for me because I had something else to attend for the weekend but that did not take place but my parents came anyways. It was nice to have them here. They were a big help with the kids and my dad helped get a few projects around our house completed.

Update on children
Today we went to Natalie's 4 month Doctor appointment. She weighed 13 1/2 lbs and was 23 1/4 inches long. I forgot to see how that compared to the chart and to my other two at this age so I will get that in three weeks when we go back.
We have to return because she had been running a fever and we discovered that she has an ear infection. Poor thing. So we have to give her amoxicillin for the next ten days.
The good news is Dan and I can finally return to work tomorrow and get back into our normal routine.
Thanks to all that have been praying for us and our girls this week. Dan and I have tried to, through everything, remember that our problems were very small compared to others and we were very thankful that we live in a country where we can get our children the doctors and medicine that they need at any time when they need it. Thank you Lord for usually very healthy children.

Alyssia in the Hospital

Family Fun Night!
Our friend Mike came with us and took the girls around to games. He became the balloon man at this point.
Sick, Sick,Sick
Alyssia is so sick. She was up every couple of hours last night throwing up. Dan is so good. He got up with her everytime. He is very good at the disinfecting stuff and he also kept the laundry going all night since she got it on blankets and towels some. Hopefully this will not go through all of us. Also, my sister and her daughter were here for the weekend so we pray they didn't take it home with them.
We had a family fun night at Kylie's school and so we took all the kids. It was a lot of fun, however, there have been quite a few kids out sick this last week at school and Dan heard one dad say that his son had thrown up at 2:00 that day and was not in school that day but he brought him to the family fun night. He was in line in front of Alyssia. Dan was NOT happy at all. I wonder how many other kids could possibly be home sick.
So to all parents out there, if your kids are sick, keep them home. If they are not in school do not take them to special events. Please.

Alyssia is now getting into our refigerator. She has learned to open it and get what she wants. A great thing to learn but NOT as well. She is constantly going in the fridge and getting apples, cheese, strawberries or whatever and so we are constantly having to go close the fridge and pick up the apples. She doesn't always eat what she gets. The apples she likes to play with as people. She acts out scenes with them. Creative but why does it have to be something from the fridge. Dan is in town today for camp so I hope he can find a fridge lock while he is out.
Natalie is also learning to giggle. It is really funny to hear her giggle. She giggles at her hands, sisters or if you tickle of course. Very cute.

I have been shopping for swimsuits for my girls online. Kylie really wanted this first blue one from Gap.com. She says it looks like silver mist from Tinker Bell and so this is one that we got. I also got one from Target that was a little cheaper that is a basic blue stripe but cute. I couldn't get a picture of that one, but oh well.
