Parks

We have been having fun going around to a lot of different parks lately. The Olympia area is filled with parks. The girls always have a blast. We play for awhile and then we usually end up taking the nature trail so indigenous to northwest parks. We look at butterflies, listen to birds and study plants. Bella is full of questions which we do are best to answer before she gets distracted. Iyla toddles along and does pretty much every thing that her big sister does. It is so cute.
We went to a park that had a lot of different climbing toys. I had Bella do each one at least once. I told her that if she was going to play with the big kids now she needed to know how to play properly to be safe. I later overheard her telling another child "I will show you how to do it to be safe. My dad says that is park rules."

Baby!

We found out that we are going to be parents again!!! I must say that I am so excited for it. I really don't care what gender the new baby is, just healthy. A boy could be fun. I am not sure I would know what to do with a boy though.
We had been hoping to be pregnant for a while. We were excited last summer, and then heartbroken when we miscarried. It has been feeling like someone was missing for awhile now. We would get in the car and count heads- 1, 2, 3...Wait there is no three. :'C But now there will be and we can't wait to meet whomever we are blessed with.
