July Part 2

Library Store Time: I haven't been going during the year, but this summer, it has been a great activity. 

We decided on a name for baby boy. MILES. We set up his room, new paint, and now I'm starting to wash everything. I even made his baby blanket. It's so soft. And it only took me two days. Win-win.

This past week, we went down to Memorial Mall to enjoy their amazing play area. It was SO busy. I knew it would be, because it's summer. I talked to the sweetest Grandma that sat next to me. She was complimentary of my kids and then couldn't help but mention how expensive college was going to be with four kids. Outside the LDS world, having a fourth is quite a phenomenon around here. I hope we help it look semi-normal, instead of making people think, "Well, that's what you get." Sometimes, I definitely feel like it is A LOT, but other times I really don't. I guess it is because I finally feel like I don't have all really young children. Especially this last year, I have felt like it has been easier. They are all potty trained and play together. They all communicate and can reason with me, (well, Katelyn is questionable..) And I finally get to really teach them things. Like how to read and play the piano. I get to talk to them about baptism and the holy ghost. I just love experiencing this time. 

I was so proud of Troy as I watched him make sure that Katelyn always knew where he and Liam were and waited for her to catch up. 

I took this picture today. August 3rd. Miles is almost here, and yet it feels like I have to wait forever. I'm so grateful I have made it to 36 weeks and I don't want him to come earlier than 39. But WOW am I excited to meet this boy. Going to WICKED in a few days will help my impatience ;)
