Pre-School and Birthdays

My babies started pre-school this fall. It has been a huge adjustment. We have NEVER had to get up and leave the house by 8 on a regular basis. Life altering! Thankfully, William usually doesn't have to be at work until 9, so he can help with drop off...which has been especially nice with morning sickness. Rainey is enjoying Mommy time as well as spending some quality time with my Grandmother in the mornings.

John and Clara Grace turned 5 a few weeks back.We celebrated with a party at the inflattables place.. which was their dream party. It was a nice Ariel/ SpiderMan party...nice combo ..right?

It doesn't seem possible that my sweet, tiny babies could be 5 years old. They come home from school and inform me of new things they learned. It is wonderful, but sad at the same time. We have almost completed our first season of soccer for John. He is actually pretty good for his first attempt. He is not scared of the ball and runs the field like a champ. The girls are still in ballet and are preparing for their Christmas recital.

Tomorrow I will be 18 weeks pregnant. We head to the doctor on Tuesday for an ultrasound. William and I are not going to find out what the sex is, but have the technician write it on a note card to be put into 3 envelopes... to keep me from cheating. We will then take the card to our friend, Laura, who will make a cake for Sunday night Youth Group. We will cut into the cake and everyone will find out at one time if it is a boy or girl.. Let me clarify.. the inside of the cake will be dyed pink or blue. We are totally excited to know what Murray #4 will be!
