And then there were THREE...

We found out yesterday that we are expecting a healthy, active little BOY! That makes three. Crazy! Never in my life did I think I would have three boys. The girl who doesn't really get sports, is not competitive at all and considers herself pretty calm and peaceful. Not for long... YAY to boys! It is certainly not going to be a dull life for Jon and I! I couldn't be more thrilled and I was reminded yesterday of just how blessed we are with this little gift! All 11 ounces of him! Now to coming up with a name and designing his room... let the fun begin!

Mother's Day Tea

This morning, Jake's class held a Mother's Day Tea. It was my first and I know I will never forget it. I had tears in my eyes the whole time. Jake is just so darn sweet and loving. He sang songs and did the movements as he sang. I was so proud watching him sit like a little man with his friends. I always get a kick out of how he introduces himself. All the children went around saying their names "Jack," "Lilly,"and here is my Jakers.... "Jacob Michael Sharp!" All of his buddies at school call him Jake Sharp because that's what he calls himself. So funny. At one point, Jake got really into the music and moved his little hips. Everyone was cracking up. He has such rhythm! It is hysterical. I don't know where he gets it. (video below) A bunch of the ladies brought their mom's along with them which was bitter sweet for me. I was so proud and emotional about the whole morning, it was perfect! Thank you to my first little man. You make me one proud momma!

Around these parts...

Lately, we have been relaxing, spending time with family and enjoying the weather as much as possible. The past few weekends my sister and nephew have been living here and joining my brother in law at the hotel. They spent some time looking for a place to live and have settled on a perfect house that is twenty minutes or so from here. I couldn't be more thrilled! My siblings and I are very close and I can't wait to have my sister closer to me and for our boys to spend more time together. Now.... if we can work on my New York City loving brother and his adorable girlfriend (whom I refer to as Aunt Katie... hoping he gets the point!) It has been wonderful and makes me realize what I have been missing by not living near my family. There is something special about your own family. My family relaxes me and makes me laugh. I love that I laugh more around them then any other group of people.



Last weekend we headed down to B-more for a much overdue trip to visit Dad and Carol. My dad's birthday was recently so, to celebrate we bought tickets to the Thomas the train show that was being held at the B & O railroad. We also BBQ'd in familiar Dad's birthday fashion in the backyard. Playing soccer, croquet, jumping on the trampoline and just simply hanging out. Wonderful! I loved it. Here's to spring!
