Warm Winter Fun

No time to write anymore but here are a few pictures from our trip to the Botanical Center and a little snow fun in the kitchen!
This was what I say is my first trip out with four, but really we met a friend there and I couldn't have done it all by myself!


Rock Star!


Sleeping on a park bench enjoying the warmth of the Botanical Center...She is telling me quite the story!

An army fort he made with a new friend.  (We needed to take a picture for Uncle Colin.)



The fun factor was directly related to the age.  Reuben thought this was cool, but didn't last long.
Snow fight!

Cloth Diapers, here I come?

This may be a boring blog entry, but no one is forcing you to read this so here it goes! A friend asked me a few years back "Have you ever thought about switching to cloth diapers?" "Are you crazy? No!" was my oh too quick response.  I had been around cloth diapers just enough to know that they were no longer pins and rubber pants like the good old days, but I had no intention of going down that road. I had heard people talk of wet bags and hemp inserts and did not wish to complicate my life in that way. Something changed, however, somewhere in during my third pregnancy. I think it was fearing that I would be buying diapers the rest of my life. I looked into it, but just enough to be sticker shocked by the "Cadillac" of cloth diapers ($20 a diaper!)

There is a couple of dangers in doing this specific post.  1)I don't want it to come across that I do not want to talk about the baby since I am writing about it.  I just was afraid that much of the conversation would get lost in cyberspace since we were announcing electronically.  2) I can be a little sarcastic at times and people might "hear" bitterness in some of my answers, but there is none there!  I did my best to proof this so that I do not offend anyone.  When are you due?   My EDD is December 29th.  Jordan thinks this is perfect as long as I have the baby by the 31st.  That way he gets the tax credit this year and gets to pay for it with Flex next y...
