In case you haven't heard

Yep, Harrison is going to be a big brother!

Dave and I took Harrison to Top Pot Donuts ( www.toppotdonuts.com) two weeks ago to let him know the exciting news. We showed him the two pictures you see here and asked him if he knew what they were. He said, "It's a baby in your tummy." We asked if he knew who it was and he said it was him. When we told him it wasn't him he kind of lit up. Let's say my belly was soon covered in sugar from his donut!

He is very, very excited to be a big brother. He asks about the baby all the time and can't stop kissing my belly. I'm very excited for him to feel the baby move one day. I know he's going to love it.

We've decided to not find out the sex of the baby this time around. But if you ask Harrison he thinks it's a boy. (he thinks the pictures above look like a boy - "boys have round heads") We keep reminding him that he might get a sister instead of a brother and he doesn't seem to mind. We'll see...

Stay tuned for more photos. I am 14 weeks along today and definitely showing. We'll start posting belly photos soon.

First day of kindergarten

Today was the day our baby started kindergarten. He did well this morning up until it was time to say good-bye. A few of the kids in his class started crying. I feel like that just creates chaos and then others start crying and it spirals out of control a bit. Harrison's tummy started to hurt (which we expected to happen) and I was the last parent to leave the classroom. The teacher had to peel him off of me. But he was all smiles when I picked him up. He had a fun time. He said that they all sat on the rug and the teacher asked everyone what their favorite thing was. He said most kids said "recess" but Harrison said "LEARNING."

Breakfast of champions - Cheerios!

After school ice cream at Husky Deli.

A little girl came up to him while we were there and said "do you remember me from today?" She's in his class! Super cute. On the way home he asked me if he could have her over for a playdate someday.

Am I being naughty? I hope so...

The boot

Hey everyone! Pay your parking tickets. If you don't, you just may find the boot on your car.

In a pub, of course...

Notting Hill

A great band in Notting Hill. We should've bought their CD when we first saw them. On the way back by we stopped and tried to buy it but they were sold out.

Tower Bridge

We got to hang out with Dave's good friend, Wayne, while in London. What are the chances we'd both be there at the same time?! It also happened to be during the playoffs but sadly the Seahawks lost.

I think the Tube was my favorite thing about London. (why don't we have this?!)

(how I wish Princess Di was there today to see William marry Kate)

Big boy

It's hard to believe that in only a few weeks my baby will turn 5. He starts kindergarten in September!! Here are a few photos of his new big boy bed and his usual pose with a lightsaber or weapon of some kind.
