Two Boys!

We found out yesterday that we are having two boys! We are still in a little shock since we were thinking that we were going to have two girls or one of each, but were not thinking two boys. We are very excited as they will have lots of boy cousins close to their age for them to play with.

Tree Hunting 2010

We continued our tradition with John's family of going out the Vladmir Tree Farm in Sylvania to get our Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving. John was really excited this year as he had purchased a chain saw to cut down our tree. Unfortunately, he had put the chain on wrong and by the time he fixed it the owner let us know that because of insurance he wasn't allowed to use his chain saw. John was very disappointed, but I am sure he will find something else to use the chainsaw on.

Twins!

Both Babies 7.5 Weeks

We are excited to share with everyone that we are expecting twins this April. Our original due date was May 3rd, but full term for twins is 37 weeks so that puts our due date at April 12th. Besides feeling sick most of the time, everything is looking good and our twins are fraternal. Since I am not working right now the doctor thinks that I most likely won't have to have any bedrest.

Pumpkins

We went down to Spooner Farms in Snohomish to get our pumkins the other day. Luckily for us it was a nice sunny day. We still have yet to carve them.

San Francisco

We went to San Francisco at the beginning of October for one of John's friends wedding. He has known this friend since he was 18 months old and was in the wedding party. We didn't have a lot of time to sight see, but it was a good weekend.

Seattle Aquarium

For my niece's Riley and Petyon's birthday I said that I would take them to the Seattle Aquarium once their new brother Austin was born. So last week we went to the aquarium, then Red Robin's for lunch, and finished off the day with ice cream. They had a lot of fun. They got to see all of the fish, the sea otters and seals, and also get their faces painted.
