Small Changes to the Same Routine

We are living much of the same routine as we normally do and yet there are little changes going on all the time. The boys and I went back to school after Labor Day. Seth is a big 3rd grader and he has an awesome teacher this year.....yep, it's ME! Evan is a 1st grader and Levi started his second year of preschool. Each of the boys loves school for his own reasons. Seth pretty much likes school because it is his social network. Evan loves school for the arts and crafts class after school. Levi loves his friends and his teachers. The new baby continues to grow. I'm 18 weeks pregnant now. At the last doctor appointment the doctor had a hard time finding the baby's heartbeat. Turns out everything is fine. The doctor did an ultrasound and the baby was just moving around too much for her to catch the heartbeat. I have another appointment at the end of the week and hopefully we'll be able to schedule my next ultrasound soon and be able to confirm that we're having a BOY! The big news - Levi had a birthday and turned 4! He was counting down the days til his birthday and was very excited that Daddy brought cupcakes to his school to share with his friends!
