2nd Christmas

Grammy and Grandad has finally come to visit and they brought Christmas. When we were getting ready to go over to Mike and Amy's to open gifts I gave Gavin their gifts to give to them. He asks "mom where is my present" I told him "I am sure they have a present for you." He says "For My Birthday Mom?" He always thinks gifts are for his birthday. I said "no for Christmas." He says "Can I just say it's for my birthday?" I said "Sure." It was crazy and I felt I missed lots of picture opportunities but the kids had a blast and they spoiled us with gifts.

Grandad says he can jump a double rope just like Samantha.


They are just so sweet. Can't wait to spend more time with them.


Preschool
I got to teach preschool today. They are crazy kids. This week was probably one of the better weeks that I have taught. We learned the letter M with making Monster visors doing a worksheet with the letter M, 7, and Rectangles. We played with a huge parachute. I was sad though because I had planned to take it outside so we had more room, but last night it rained all night so we had to do it inside. The kids loved it and started to get a little crazy. Read a few books and made towers out of blocks. The kids like to go to preschool and I am very glad that I don't have to do it every week or else I would go crazy.

Baby Name
P.S. Chris has decided on a name, Finally!

The winner is Madison June Parker

June is from Chris' Mom Diana's Mom's middle name. Each of the kids have a name from one side of the family.

Gavin Hugh from Chris' Dad, Don's middle name. Brody Ray is from my Dad, Craig's Dad's, middle name. If that makes any sense, anyway the middle names come from family names.

The day that I will probably have the c-section is April 22, 2010 at Banner Gateway Hospital. I will probably be home Sunday April 25, 2010.

Try to ignore Gavin in the Video, I do.
