And in case you've been hiding under a rock....

Pretty sure EVERYONE knows by now, but for the sake of catching up on my blog....

Ella's going to be a big sister around December 5th :) Big brother Garrett is of course hoping for a boy!

Portraits of the kids...

I've been meaning to update with these pics of the kids for forever. Todd's sister, Chelsea, took these pictures for us around Thanksgiving time. Love them and I think they show my kids' personalities very well! Thanks, Chels!

New bikes!

Since our kids' birthdays (well except Lauren's) fall in the middle of winter, we decided to get the kids bikes for Easter this year. The Easter Bunny brought Ella's bike, and helmets for Garrett and Lauren. Then we went to the store the next day and they picked out their bikes. They have had sooooo much fun riding the sidewalks and driveways, and sharing their bikes and/or scooters with the neighborhood kids!
