Three big kids

Lillian, 9 years old
54 in, 69 lbs
She is breezing through the Harry Potter books, perhaps a little too fast. She's on Book 5 after only 6 weeks. Currently she working on a jump rope routine with her best friend to perform at the school talent show. 

Jack, 6 1/2 years old
48 in, 51 lbs
He is soaking up kindergarten. He has gone from not knowing all his letters in August to now being able to read. And he has charmed his teacher and she wants to clone him. He is our runner, our early riser, and the adventure seeker. 

Wesley, 5 years old
42 in, 33 lbs
He's adorable. Still loves to snuggle up, hug, be held, give hugs and kisses and just generally takes delight in being the youngest. He proudly and neatly writes his name. He is finally rivaling Jack as the master builder of Legos. 

(Note that they are perfectly 6 inches and 18 lbs different from each other.)

At the doctor's office, March 31 2015

As I'm laying here on bed rest, I can't stop thinking about having a newborn a my arms. But alas, I'm still at home waiting for this baby to decide to come. My Tuesday appointment showed an elevated blood pressure (same occurred with the other two) and so I spent 2.5 hours at the hospital for monitoring and lab tests. With normal results I was sent home (thank you thank you) on bed rest. This means little to no movement around. Grammy is most affected by this and she's doing an amazing job with Lillian and Jack - in fact, she's doing everything, including taking care of me and the household chores. Wow! The good news is that I've moved on from 2cm (16 days ago) to 4cm. So really, it's up to the babe to realize what a great family and world awaits him on this side :) It could be he/she is waiting for Kyle and I to decide on a good name - suggestions anyone? Here are the first pics of my Lillian May and Jack Robert: Jack joined our family at 10:24...
