Wednesday - Sid had practice for the Peony Pageant. She was Hillary Ludwigs Peony Princess and the other girls had SOR.

Thursday- Peony Practice for Sid and volleyball practice for Kerstin

Friday - Peony Pageant -- We were SO PROUD of Sid! She was beautiful and did a great job! Then Kenz, me and Scott went to our friend Jenni's surprise birthday party!

WOW! I really have no time lately! All I get done doing is feeding Coltin! :) I am enjoying him so....much! We are really blessed to have our family complete! He is so much fun! Here are a few pics. Sorry I have not been posting. Hopefully I get into a routine sometime before he starts pre-school! lol

They say every pregnancy, child, labor and delivery are different but after 3 kids I really thought I had the labor/delivery thing mastered--I was wrong! After every weird thing happening to us that I knew basically nothing about COLTIN WILLIAM arrived Jan.20 at 10:12 P.M.! What a precious little man he is! We are truly blessed!

More pics soon!

Week 2 -- Bed rest! This little man has been causing problems since day 1! I am so anxious to meet him! I know it will be worth the last 35 weeks!!
The girls are on Holiday break and I do feel bad for them! They have been helping out with chores while I lay in bed. Thanks to Judy, Sandi, Mom, dad, McKenzie, Kerstin, Sid, Scott, Michelle Gorman, my neighbor Joyce Brant, Kim Evans and anyone I forgot to mention! Meals, cleaning, laundry and everything seems to be getting done! Not much longer!

Kent Boyd came to the dance studio this week and taught the girls some of his moves! They LOVED IT!!

Kerstin's class went to the Manor and sang! I think Grandma had
