Support a Mission Trip to Uganda AND Score an iPad

My friend Elisa is going on a mission trip to Uganda in a few months and has thought up some clever ways to raise money for her trip. She's giving away an iPad and an iTouch (two separate drawings) and for each $20 donation, you get an entered for a chance to win. I PROMISE this is not a scam. I know Elisa well, and she was just at my house for lunch today. Don't miss a chance to get your hands on some fabulous Apple technology for $20! I'm hoping for the iPad myself!!!

Well I Guess We Missed February!

So I didn't get any posts up in February!! Just wait until I have four kids...maybe I'll have my once annual post. Life is feeling a bit better as we leave the winter months behind, everyone is healthy again (colds abounded in Jan. & Feb.), and I'm in my second trimester. If you missed the announcement on Facebook or through the grapevine, we are having a fourth GIRL! Silent pause as we all say a prayer for Alex.

I mean, I know we already have three girls, but the addition of a fourth brings all kinds of things to mind. The amount of HOT WATER and bathroom time that will be needed for four girls. Is it possible we will all have "that time of the month" together...heaven help us and Alex. Will they fight over boyfriends? We know they will fight over clothes!!! And let's not even get started on the weddings... Ah the excitement and fun of the future! Can't wait - I love the idea of having four girls.

Below are some photos my friend and talented photographer, Natalie Bearden took the other day. She even made the sweet bathing cap Stella is wearing - oh yeah and she is 9 months pregnant!!! I love how these turned out - capturing the simplest little expressions and their beautiful smooth baby skin. Check out Natalie's other work on her blog.

Natalie also has a little girl the same age as Addie and Mina. After we finished taking pictures, Kennedy jumped in the bath too! The first thing the girls said when I showed them the pictures was "Where's Kennedy?"
