Sneak Peek

Some of you might be wondering, "Why is she posting so much?" Yes, my posting is much more frequent. More than twice a year. If you caught my last post then you know that baby #3 is on the way. The good news is that I am feeling much better. The bad news is that life is too busy. There is a lot going in our family, mostly good things but it is keeping us very busy.
I am 20 weeks along now. Half-way! And yes, we went for our 20 week ultrasound. So, yeah, we know. Keep reading if you want to know. If not, then stop reading. Erin was sure that baby 3 was a girl. I made no guesses. I was kind of hoping for a girl, but God has other plans for us. Yup, boy #3. I am getting some good ideas for Halloween next year though. When Alex found out he said, "Yeah! I got my wish."

This is a sneak peek of baby boy. Not the best 3D ultrasound pic, but it's something.

Some News

So, I thought it was about time to do one of my semi-annual blog posts. Seriously, the more time goes on the fewer blog post I write. Sorry folks. Anyway, some of my friends that aren't on Facebook may not have heard some news. The third baby DeSpain is going to make it's debut in March.
This has made the past few months, er... interesting. Thank goodness my Mom came and stayed with us for a few weeks in August. This meant that someone would surely make dinner and everyone had clean clothes. She helped us out so much!!! We also had some fun excursions too. Of course we went shopping, we went to the lake house, and on labor day we went to the zoo. We also celebrated Alex's 5th birthday. On his birthday we went to the Science Museum to see the rats that play basketball and see an IMAX movie. It was a great day. We also had a co-birthday party at the Lake house for Alex and his cousin, Ethnie. The kids (little and big) enjoyed wacking the pinata. Although Alex did comment that next year we should do the pinata at home. I think he didn't like sharing the candy. What can I say?
Oh, and we survived an earthquake and hurricane. Fun times.

Family Pictures

When we were in Utah in April my good friend Nicole took some family portraits for us. They are wonderful! Check out Nicole's blog for more of her work.
