Jelly Belly Anyone?

So all the contestants in the snowman contest were entered into a drawing for TEN POUNDS of Jelly Belly's. Yes, ten pounds! And of course, that is the part of the competition my kids win! :) The actual winners were all creatures other than snowman, like dragons and such.

It's A BOY!!!

Of the three this is the first time I've been wrong...I was just sure it was a girl (I even purchased fabric to make 'her' quilt in Anchorage last weekend). We are so excited to be adding another little boy to our family! I could have cried seeing the expression on Kali's face - one I'll never forget. She had her heart set on a baby sister. She's come around to the idea of her and I being the only girls though; and she LOVES babies so much she's just happy to be getting one at all!

As much of a challenge as Corey's been for me (see post below for one example) - I didn't know if I would be able to handle another boy. But I am thrilled that Corey is getting a brother - he NEEDS one and Kali NEEDS him to have one! :)

Back to the Dr...

This time for a broken Collar Bone. Poor little guy has had a rough couple of months. It started in December with his stay in the hospital for Croupe. He had a twenty-four hour flu bug in January. Fell off the edge of the stairs at my parents house - we thought he broke his nose but everything looked fine the next day so we didn't take him in on that one. Split his lip; and just last weekend finished a ten-day stint of antibiotics for an ear infection.

Thank goodness for insurance!!!

Healing well.

A few weeks ago Corey tripped in our hallway and fell directly onto the corner of our kitchen cabinets. He split his lip all the way up to his nose. We debated for some time about wether or not to take him to the ER for stitches - in the end we decided the little round scars from the stitches would only make it look worse. Definately not worth the trauma; I think it was the right decision. There will probably always be a little scar but it's healing very nicely as you can see below.

After FHE he dissapeared for a bit. Then all of a sudden he jumped around the corner to scare us sporting q-tips in both ears.

Couple of Crazies...

Double Ugh!

Does this look like March weather to any of you? Anyone?
