PLEASE! Let it be a girl!

So as you know, we're expecting in November and our kids, especially Kenley, are convinced that it is a girl.  Really there is no reasoning with her, believe me, I've tried!  We talk about it all the time and I try to talk to them about how if its a boy, that would be OK too.  Not working, she literally starts crying or screaming when we talk about the fact that she may have another brother.  If anyone knows Kenley, they know how strong willed she can be ( that is putting it as nicely as I can!). She is either all the way happy or all the way mad, no inbetween for her!  She does have some good arguments for her side and honestly I don't know what to say when she pulls this card.  "Mom, I talked to Jesus and he said that we could have a baby sister!"  What am I supposed to say to that? So please, for the sanity of our house, let it be a girl!!!  (Just to be clear, we would take whatever we get! My boys are tons of fun and they would love a new brother too...eventually!)

Finally a blog of our own!!



We thought we'd finally create a blog of our own since we've been enjoying others for some time now. So here's an update from our family; bare with us as a lot has been going on in the past few years.  We live in Arizona and have for almost 4 years now while Justin has been attending medical school.  He graduates on June 6 which means another move for residency.  Pennsylvania is our next destination for a 5 year orthopedic surgery residency. We are excited though it will be quite a cultural shock.  The kids are growing up quickly: Kade and Kenley will be 4 on May 23, and Marcus is now 20 months old. We are also expecting number 4 in  late October or early November.  Stay tuned for more as we make our way out to Pennsylvania.  We look forward to staying in tune with your lives and hope you enjoy hearing about ours.  Thanks for reading!
