It's not a Girl; it's a Boy!

This is a few weeks late, but here's how Jenna was announcing Little Bit's gender to our friends. It took a while to get it on video then get it converted for web viewing.

Early Birthday Celebration Weekend

Last weekend, Mom & Dad came to visit. We had a great time, but as usual it went too quickly. They arrived Thursday night so we had some time to visit that night. Then Friday morning we all went to my doctor's appointment where we found out we're having a BOY! It was a little earlier than I expected to know, so they were very glad they'd come in time for the appointment. I was very surprised, as I'd thought the whole time it was another girl. We're very excited--no names yet. Here's a few pictures of how Little Bit looked last week.



On Friday night, I came home to work to find Mom & Dad had prepared a yummy early birthday meal--Italian Beef Bake (one of my favorites), Rice, Green Beans, Yeast Rolls, and homemade Apple Pie a la mode. It was delicious! We then enjoyed some card games--something I've been wanting to do for a while now. It was a great early celebration!

On Saturday, Mom, Jenna, and I went to the CRC Walk for Life; it was a beautiful morning and they had a great turnout. Here's a picture of the three of us:

After the walk, we went to a church children's consignment sale and racked up on little boy outfits! It's so much fun to get good deals! All in all, we had a wonderful weekend!

The Alligator Store

Last Friday, I'd been telling Jenna off and on that we'd be going to the mall the next day. Later in the night, she began asking to go to the Alligator Store. I didn't know what she was talking about, but was really trying to figure it out.

All I could picture was this:
but what Jenna was picturing was this:
I had forgotten that I'd explained that the moving stairs was called an escalator, but she heard "alligator." I got quite a kick out of that association!

So we spent much of last Saturday shopping...in the pouring rain. We'd spent the previous weekend at home while she recovered from H1N1, so my errands had been piling up. We were pretty much drenched, but Jenna had a blast. Here are a few of the pictures.
