Out in the Snow with Daddy

We got a bunch of snow Saturday, and Drew took the boys out with a brand new Walmart sled to give Mommy a break. The snowballs got bigger and bigger!

Daddy was the main target.

Notice the socks on the hands. The gloves got cold and wet quickly and the boys were nowhere near done playing so they were traded in for this stylish number. I'm sad to say one of them was sacrificed to the snow gods and we hope to see it again in the spring!

About an hour into the event they all came in shivering and crying with cold feet and wet hands, but a quick mug of hot cocoa saved the day!

Well, as you all know, yesterday we found out that baby #4 is a boy! I am so excited. And Drew is over the moon. He keeps talking about being 80% of the way done with his family basketball team, and all the Saturday football they can watch, and how if we ever get in a fight he has 4 extra votes that will side with him! I get a little choked up just thinking about it. I am a little emotional, being pregnant and all! So I dug through the photos and found these.

And this priceless moment the day we brought Daniel home from the hospital.

I really can't wait to add another Bates boy!

Autumn Leaves

We dragged Stacy to the park while she was in town to capture a few priceless pics! Then we played with the collage feature on Picasa!

Aren't they cute!
