my window: Update

I know it's been a really long time since I have last updated our blog, and I really don't have any good excuses. We have been enjoying the winter, but are eagerly anticipating spring. We had a beautiful couple days last week so the kids were out with their bikes and even spent time in the sand box. But, that nice weather was short lived and we were enjoying our sledding hill once again this afternoon.
We have been keeping busy with doctor appointments, swimming lessons, Waumba and have also had a couple Bethany babies in our home over the past couple months. Lake is in the moonfish swimming class and is donig great. So far he has learned the crawl, back stroke, whip kick and the dolphin kick...the dolphin kick is by far his favorite and it is hilarious to watch. He is also working on his dive, and is doing awesome with that as well. Harper is patiently waiting for her turn to start swimming lessons in a couple weeks...she eagerly follows in her big brother's foot steps.
I am 18 weeks already, how time flies when it's your third. I am still feeling sickly during the day, but it seems to be getting a little better as the weeks go on. Lake continues to have many questions about the baby and my pregnancy, so we look on-line often at what the baby looks like in my belly. I plan to take the kids to my prenatal appointment in a couple days to hear the baby's heart beat. I really should probably warn Dr. Rob that Lake is coming with...he can have 100 questions for his favorite doctor. Lake is praying for a baby brother. He says he already has a little sister, so why would God give him another one. ?? Actually this morning Lake told me while he was praying to God, God told him the baby was a boy. He even has a name for the expected baby...Saul. He says it's a great name for his baby brother. We will be having an ultrasound in the next couple weeks, but like the last two pregnancies, Josh and I have decided to wait until the delivery room to learn if this baby is a boy or girl.
Below are a few pictures during Christmas and the month or January. I lost the battery charger to our camera, which I found today :), so we don't have any recent pictures to share.
