Way back in May when we found out we were pregnant, Noelle nicknamed our new baby, “Baby Boo.”  It kind of stuck.  We’ve been calling the baby that all summer.  Today Noelle drew this picture “of the Baby Boo’s heartbeat” after seeing the up and down pulses on the doctor’s screen while the heart was beating.  I thought this was so creative.

Also, this morning I told Noelle I was proud of her for dressing herself and looking so cute lately.  She said, “Thanks Mom.  It is my talent!”  Noelle is, as all three of my kids are, and as my mom says, my “heart song.”  That’s the only way I can describe the love I have for them.  My heart just sings with joy for them.  There are no words.

Anna Kate is talking up a storm.  Her new favorite word to show off (a lot of you have heard her say it in person), is “Barbie!”  Her sissy taught her that, of course.  Her eyes dance and she is majorly clingy with Mike, which is so sweet.  We were talking about what gender our new baby will be, and I asked Mike if he’d be okay with three girls.  He looked down at both girls cuddling him at that exact moment and said, “How could I not want more of this?”  He’s the best girl dad in the world… we shall see!
