I'm Pregnant!

Almost 5 weeks!  A couple days before I even found out, Ella kept telling me "I need a brother"!  And now that she knows we are having a baby, she is certain it's a boy.  If we even mention that it could be a girl she gets mad and assures us that it's a boy.  And she refers to it as "he".   So I guess we'll see.  I don't care either way if it is a boy or a girl.  It would be nice if it's a girl because I know a little about having a girl and have tons of clothes, but it would be nice to have a boy so we can have a boy!!!

In the gingerbread house picture Matt isn't mad or annoyed.  He was just being funny!  FYI.....

Gingerbread House

We got lazy on this one!  But it was fun for us all to do together.  Notice how we weren't creative at all.  It looks almost exactly like the one on the box!

Goodbye Cosmo!

Lately Cosmo has been wanting to explore outside just the backyard.  Usually he would stay even if the gate was open.  A few times recently we had to go looking for him and found him having too much fun in neighbors yards or at the park chasing the ducks.  We were always able to somehow get him to come home.  Well, about a week ago, I was gone at a friends baby shower and Matt texted me and said Cosmo got out again and he chased him for a long time and then gave up.  I think Cosmo had a little taste of the "good life" and never wanted to be locked up in our back yard ever again.  I hope he's out there somewhere having a lot of fun, not getting into fights or being captured by the pound.  Maybe he found a good fire hydrant to stay near??  Or a nice family found him.  I joked that the Chinese buffet place may have gotten hold of him and..... ya, don't ever eat at those places!  They're disgusting!!!  

I actually dreamed of him coming back and we were so happy!  One night I even heard a noise and got up to see if he was waiting at the gate to be let back into the yard.  Anyway, we know he is probably not coming back and hope he is happy!
