I am going to venture out and say that Hannah is now potty trained!!! YAY!!! I am hoping she doesn't have any setbacks but we will see. She has been doing great. Sometime this week we are going to Build-A-Bear like I promised her we would. She is really excited and says she wants to build a "scary" bear. I am not sure what she has in mind but maybe she will get exactly what she wants. My little baby is growing up before my eyes. I am tearing up just thinking about it! Three years ago I was around 6 months pregnant, feeling her kicking around and now she is running circles around me!

She has quite the imagination lately. She has a new imaginary friend named Linda. Linda seems to be a trouble maker. She yells at Linda to stop doing this or that. She pretended to call her on the phone the other day and told her she needed to clean the floor(she was watching Cinderella at the time). If she is getting in trouble she sometimes tells me Linda did it. Linda also goes everywhere with us lately. She buckled her in the car the other day and sometimes buckles her in the shopping cart next to her. She says Linda is two years old and will be three in August. She also informed me the other day that Linda was at school. She wanted to pick her up and insisted that we go before we left the house. So I told her she was waiting on us at the mailbox and we picked her up there. Hannah also has some very interesting suggestions of names for the baby. She said she wanted to name him/her "Fresha," "Bandit" (this is David & Susan's dog's name), & "Nowhere." I am sure she has said other funny names but those are the only ones I can remember.

She is loving playing on her swing set (when we have been home long enough for her to play). Josh has a boat he is fixing up and she loves to work on it with him. They spend hours in this boat. She gets all of his tools and "helps" him. I need to take a picture of them together because it is really cute.

We spent last week running here and there getting ready for the Graduation Banquet. We had two graduates - Alex & Chris. I remembered my camera but forgot my memory card so I didn't get one picture but I know there were a lot taken. The banquet turned out great. I was really excited and SO THANKFUL for all the hands that helped me. We had about 10 people show up Friday night and got everything decorated and ready to go. So many of the women cooked and gave money for food! It is so wonderful to worship and work with so many giving loving people! God has blessed me with GREAT Christian friends!

Today we spent the day at David & Susan's for Memorial Day. I think about the people especially the mothers who spent the day without their loved ones. I know they are sad but proud all at the same time. Our military men and women give so much so that we can be free. I hope we never forget that, although I fear so many have! So today say a little prayer for the families that are grieving and also say a prayer of thanks to God for His blessings. We are so fortunate and sometimes don't even realize it.

I know this is a very random post! This week we will be busy working on our VBS. Please come if you want to hear great lessons from God's Word. We would love to see you. It starts on Sunday night(the 31st). This week is also exciting because we get to go for our ultrasound. I am hoping the baby will cooperate and let us know if it is a he or she! I am going to put up a poll and you can vote for your guess. I think it will be fun to see how many are right! I will let you know on Friday! You will have to read my blog to find out because I am going to ban anyone else from posting on here, Facebook, or any other technology until I get a chance to let you all know. So stay tuned...

It is teeling me the poll is closed. I am horrible at this guessing game, but I'm going to say BOY!

Chad said...

This cracked me up. Please....Please....Please name your child nowhere. :) Ok, don't, but it was funny nonetheless.

Sorry about the poll, try again. I think it is fixed now.
