It's OK To say Merry Christmas!

Is the new holiday logo for one of our local news station! Pretty bold cuz they also talk about the reall reason we celebrate, Jesus' Birth.

Last week we drove down to jonesboro and looked at all the lights and tried to get a picture with santa. We only got one, Cadence. Last year they wouldn't get near santa; this year Cadence sat on his lap but she wouldn't tell him what she wanted for christmas. Bubby wouldn't sit on santa's lap this year but was actually brave enough to reach into the sucker bin himself; maybe next year he'll sit on santa's lap. Kayleigh was asleep so we didn't even bother her to try and get a picture.

Friday was Cadence's last day at school for two weeks and they got to do something very special the last two days. On thursday Santa visited and Cadence got her picture with him and told him that she wanted a real pink pony. Then on friday they wore pajamas to school, drank peppermint hot cocoa and watched the polar express and had a christmas party.

All the presents are wrapped and my shopping is done. Now all we have to do is wait on Christmas and Santa to get here. Although Kayleigh doesn't have much patience. She wants her present now!

Teefies!

Kayleigh has two bottom teeth. And she will use them :) She is growing so fast. She's crawling and trying to pull up a little bit but hasn't quite figured it out. She weighs around 17 lbs and is just as cute as can be. She has started on solids, well puree'd really, but she loves it, except for the peas. She is also babbling and saying mamama. I'm excited cause Cadence and Cole started babbling with baba and dada. She is very active and has decided lately that she is a night owl and an early riser. Needless to say I don't get very much sleep.

This month has flown by so quickly. Cole had surgery on Nov. 4. He had tubes put in his ears, his adnoids taken out and his sinused flushed out. He is so much better now, a completely different child. He is more active and talks a whole lot more. He says he can hear better. The only problem is trying to keep his earplugs in during bath time.

Cadence is doing well in school and learning a lot. She's having a little problem with listening to the teachers and not wanting to take a nap during nap time but other than that she is doing great. She's been playing mommy with her dolls and loves to help me with Kayleigh. If I ask her anything to do with Kayleigh she is on it, and even can get Kayleigh to laugh when she upset. Her and Cole don't play as much together anymore because he's into his cars and would rather play alone. But he's great with Kayleigh too.

I'm very busy between the holidays at work, teaching sunday school and my small group on wednesdays. We had a fun halloween, took them all trick or treating where they filled their bags up with candy. Cadence was tinkerbell and Cole was a spider.

Busy Bees

Wow, I didn't even realize how long it had been since I last blogged. A lot has been going on here from working, school, church, and dr appts. Since my last blog the ear infections that Cole and Kayleigh had went away and then the second round of ear infections came two weeks after that. We pretty much have the ear infections gone now but both still have fluid on the ears so we had to go see the Ear, Nose, and Throat doctor on Monday Oct. 13. Basically they both need tubes (not fun), but thank the Lord it hasn't affected their hearing one bit. Cole is going to have tubes put in and his adnoids taken out on Nov. 4. So please pray for him and the rest of the family, as I am having a hard time dealing with the fact that he's going into surgery albeit minor but still surgery. Kayleigh, being only 5 1/2 months old, was recommended to get tubes but Nick and I feel that it would be best to wait till her ears get more mature and we are praying that she would grow out of the ear infections and we won't have to resort to tubes. Also, I don't think I would have been able to handle both of them getting tubes on the same day, too much chaos for me to handle physically and emotionally.

Nick and I have joined a small group at church on wednesday nights. It is a wonderful group with couple our age that have kids around our kids age. And the church does childcare which they love. Cadence is old enough for M&M's which I think is Music and Ministry and they feed her dinner and play. In our small group we have started a study of the book The Five Love Languages. It's really great so far and we are all learning a lot about our spouse and each other. I'm really excited about continuing the book in the next few weeks and hearing others perspectives.

The month of Oct. is a break for me from my sunday school class. Last month was very challenging for me learning how to deal with 1st and 2nd graders, plus getting all 3 of my kids up and ready for church at 9 instead of 10:45. I really loved my time in the class but I'm also enjoying going to just the service this month.

Work is keeping both Nick and I very busy. It's becoming the holiday season for me so I'm always on my toes and beginning to have to work some hectic hours. Nick is working his normal shift at the fire station along with 24 to 36 hrs extra with his part time job for Pafford Ambulance Service.

Cadence is really enjoying school, she likes to go but hates to get up in the morning. It takes me about 10-15 minutes to rouse her out of bed. She's learning a lot. This week and last week they've been learning about farms and farm animals and they get to ride on a tractor. On friday they get to dress up as scarecrows and the school has ordered them straw hats for them to wear. On halloween the whole class with dress up as scarecrows again and walk in the Minden parade. I will definately have pictures.

Happy Birthday Cadence....and me!

Today is Cadence's 4th birthday. And what an exciting day/ week we have had. She started Pre-k on Friday and loved it. But because she started school she had to get her booster shots, which happened to fall on her birthday. She missed school today and all three had a dr's appt. I never knew she could scream so loud. Actually all three of them had to get shots. Kayleigh got her 4 month vaccines and an antibiotic shot because her ears are still infected. Cole got an antibiotic shot because his ears are still infected. That was not a fun day at the dr's.

After the dr I dropped Cole and Kayleigh off at daycare and Cadence and I headed to the Boardwalk in Bossier City to Build-a-Bear Workshop. She had a blast; she picked out a bunny, helped put stuffing in it, and then picked out two outifits for her bunny to wear. Then we made it a birth certificate. She named the bunny Rabby. Hehe Rabby the Rabbit. She has carried it everywhere today. But I made for a great ending to her birthday.

Last sat was my birthday and Nick gave me the day off. I went shopping and to a movie with a girl friend of mine. It was the best birthday present I could have asked for.

Yesterday(monday) Kayleigh turned 4 months and weighs 13lbs and 14oz. She has been cooing and making spit bubbles and its so cute. She also has figured out how to roll over from her back to her stomach. Yea!

Teacher Training

Today after church there was a teacher training for all the elementry volunteers who will be teaching in our church's learning center. I am one of them. Starting in september I will be doing a even/odd month rotation in the Learning Center. I will be with one other lady and a couple teaching 1st and 2nd graders on the odd months. This will definately be interesting for me, but I'm going to put forth all my effort to help mold these little minds, and hopefully in return I can gain the patience for my future 1st and 2nd graders.

However, I almost didn't make it to church this morning. I had just gotten onto the interstate to head to Ruston when I notice that my van felt like it was riding funny. I was already going to be a few minutes late so I didn't pay any mind to the feeling, but I was thinking about telling Nick that I needed to replace my front tires. While in the midst of thinking about my tires, my front drivers side tire just fell apart. I had a flashback to a couple of months ago when my back driver side tire did the same thing. Thankfully, I was able to keep control and pull over to the side of the road. I got out and assessed the damage and called Nick. He was working and wasn't able to come out there right away. I thought I would change out the tire myself but a wonderful couple felt sorry for me and came to my rescue. They were on their way to Ruston from Homer to mow their daughters lawn who went to Tech. The wife saw me and made her husband turn around because she would want someone to help her daughters. When he got my spare put on Nick showed up. Lucky Nick didn't have to change out my tire.

I am definately going to the Firestone shop this time. Because they really owe me 4 new tires and they need to fix the damage the tires did to my van. It's pretty bad. I just pray that Firestone will recognize the fault is theirs and take responsibilty otherwise they will have to deal with Nick. LOL and they don't want that.

But we made it to church and then we made it home safely.

To the Dr. again

Two weeks ago I took Cole and Kayleigh to the Dr because they weren't feeling well. Cole had an ear infection in the left ear and fluid bubbles in the right ear and had to get antibiotics. Kayleigh just had a viral cough and the dr said it would get better in a few days. Well two weeks has gone by and neither has gotten better. The past two nights I have been up all night because of either one. Why is it that a child who is sick does not show it until the parent wants to sleep?? They are both fine during the day but once I lay down in the bed they start to hurt. Is there a magic button I don't know about? So I got both of them back into the dr's and turns out that Cole still has the ear infection, apparently he was immune to that type of antibiotic. Kayleigh now has a bad cough and infection in both ears. It makes it so difficult for her to nurse because she is in pain so she just screams and then sucks on her fingers till she falls back asleep. Hopefully the medicine that we got today will get rid of the infections and they'll be back to their normal sweet selves.

Cadence, however, is just fine. :) She's never had an ear infection and doesn't get sick that often. Maybe its because she has so much energy that she doesn't ever slow down enought to get sick. Who knows, but thank God for health insurance!

Laughing

I finally caught it, it's so cute. She was sitting between Nick's legs and was starting to root cause she was getting hungry.

He's the only one that can get her laughing real well right now.

So Sad

Today all 3 kids started daycare. I'm not going back to work till thursday but I had to drop all of them off for daycare today. Cadence and Cole walzted right into their rooms and proceeded to play with the other kids like they had never been away. It wasn't hard for me to leave them there because I've done it before, but Kayleigh was a different story. When Cadence first started daycare I had already been back to work for a while so I had gotten used to leaving her for work and she was used to it. When Cole started daycare he was on formula and a bottle and I left him and Cadence at Nick's moms with her and his sister. But today is the first time I have left Kayleigh and not been in the same building. Leaving her in the church nursery was easy, cause they give you a pager and I know she's right down the hall. But to leave her and then come home, knowing I'm miles away from her was just down right heart breaking. It was difficult trying to explain to the girl how to feed her cause she doesn't take a bottle from me and I've never been around when she's been fed a bottle. And she was in such a good mood all happy and smiles and the poor thing didn't know that I was gonna leave her for about 7 or so hours. I know she's in good hands and I'm not worried about how she'll handle it, but I'm having a hard time. I knew I shouldn't linger around cause it would be harder for me to leave so I left. But once I hit that door and headed to the car I just burst into to tears. I didn't realize it would be so emotional to leave her. So now I'm home, and it's just too quiet. No kids running and screaming, no ticking of the swing, or coos from Kayleigh. Maybe it will be easier for me to handle once I actually go to work and I have something to occupy my mind away from them. However, this may make me work harder to achieve that extra income that we need to bring me home for good and the only time I will have to leave my babies is to take a romantic vacation with Nick.

Happy Birthday Bubby!

Today is Cole's 2nd Birthday!! Wow I can't believe that two years has gone by since he was born. Since Nick had to work today and tomorrow, we decided to do Bubby's birthday last night. Nick grilled pork chops, yellow squash, and zucchini, and I made funfetti cupcakes with chocolate icing and sprinkles. We sang happy birthday and he got to blow out the candle. Then him and Cadence had to take a bath cause they had chocolate icing all over, and then it was present time. He had to learn how to rip open presents again, but Cadence helped him out, a lot. He got a rug that has all the buildings from the movie cars with a road and all the characters. Some cars from the movie Cars and some miniature tonka trucks, and a Diego tub trike that floats and rides on top of water. He had a great time.

Happy 4th of July!

Thursday night the North Bienville Volunteer Fire Dept. put on their annual fireworks show. Nick was working so I decided to take all three of them to town to watch it. We went to sonic and grabbed dinner and some ice cream and then went out to Bonnie and Clyde Trade Days to wait for the show to begin. We got there a little after 7pm but I didn't realize how late that it got dark. So we sat there till 9:04pm which was when they started the fireworks. Cadence loves fireworks and laughed when they made the loud popping and screaming. Cole, on the other hand, thought they were great for about 1 min and then started crying. Kayleigh actually did better than he did. After about twenty minutes of the firework show, Cadence got tired of hearing Cole and Kayleigh fussing and was ready to go home. Next year, I will only go to a fireworks show if Nick is with me.

I bought the kids outfits for the 4th so that I could get a picture of all three of them on Kayleigh first 4th of July. However, by the time I had the chance to get them all together Kayleigh was upset. I did get some great pictures of them in two's.

Nick cooked some barbeque grilled chicken and then we had some wonderful yellow watermelon (my new favorite). After dinner we did some fireworks. Nick had bought some bottle rockets, roman candles, and fountains. Kayleigh and Cole were both in my lap crying everytime a bottle rocket went off, so we had to keep those to a minimum. They like the fountains ( they didn't make any popping or screaming noises) and loved the roman candles. They all had a fun 4th.

Could be triplets!

So I found a picture of Cadence and Cole at around two months when they started smiling and WOW, they really do look alike. You can tell them apart but they all have the same round head and chubby cheeks. Cadence and Kayleigh's smile is almost identical with the way they have their tongue positioned. It's just too cute I had to post these.

Just some cute pics of the kids!

The one time she's not screaming when Daddy holds her. Cadence teaching Kayleigh how to cheese for the camera
I think I should put him in a modeling agency, what do you think??
Singing her heart out to a keyboard with dead batteries, we have a future star on our hands.

2 Months Old

Kayleigh is 2 months old today! We had a doctor appt. today and she now weighs 12lbs 11oz and is 23 1/2 inches. It won't be long till she catches up with her cousin Zoie. She also got her first round of vaccines :( She let the nurse now just how appreciated she was. And unlike the other two kids who cried till I held them, she screamed for almost 10 min afterwards, then fell asleep till we got home and then cried for the rest of the afternoon. Took another nap and screamed some more till she got the hiccups and fell asleep. Right now, it's quiet, but there's no telling how long that will last.

Well, in about 2 1/2 weeks my maternity leave comes to an end and I will have to head back to work. Kinda sucks since I was hoping to be able to stay at home for good, but turns out health insurance is kinda important and a lot less expensive when my company pays for a good portion of it. So I must suck it up and go back but hopefully only for a little while and not permanent. However, I did put out some resumes in hopes of finding a normal desk job m-f 8-5 a little closer to home. God willing I can get a great paying normal desk job in ruston so I won't have to work the crazy walmart schedule.

So I finally caught Kayleigh smiling on camera. And she's just the cutest thing, and its so funny that when all my kids smile they all resemble each other. I don't believe I have seen any other kids who look so much alike, than mine.

6 Weeks

Well, Kayleigh is 6 weeks old. She went to the dr. two weeks ago and weighed 11lbs 3oz and 22 inches long. I think she might have even gained another pound since then. She's becoming more alert and will even lay on her back in her baby gym for a few minutes. She's smiling :) And it's soooo cute. She'll even coo and make cute little gurgling noises when she happy. But the smiling is the best part. All you gotta do is just talk to her and she will smile at you. Picture of her smile to come soon when I can capture it on Camera.

Last weekend we went to Lake Texoma and spent some time with my family. My sister and her husband and daughter came in from Florida. My older brother and his wife and two boys were in the states from Thailand for a 2 month stay, and my younger brother flew in from Houston. It was a wonderful weekend for all of us. Especially the two oldest kids, Cadence and my nephew Aidan. They had a blast together, beating up on Stephen, racing on the deck, and blowing bubbles. It was great to see them getting along (for the most part) and playing together. I can't wait till all the others get old enought to actually play together, that will be so much fun.

First Dr. Visit

Thursday we had our one week doctor's appointment with our new pediatrician. Kayleigh did very well, she's gaining weight and is very healthy. He did a thorough check which Nick and I had never seen because apparently our previous Dr didn't really know what she was doing. We our very very pleased with our choice of changing.

We came home from the hospital on Sunday and Kayleigh weighed 9lbs 2oz. On thurs she had gained 5 oz, which shows she's eating well (i already knew that). She's finally sleeping at night so I do get a couple hours rest at night which lets me be up and active with the other two during the day. Cole is our only early bird. Cadence and Kayleigh will sleep past 8, but Cole has to be up by 7 if not earlier.

Cadence feels like a little mommy now that Kayleigh is here. She's always checking on her making sure she's not fussing. Wants to constantly hold her or take her somewhere. She's a big help with fetching me things that I need when Kayleigh is nursing.

Happy Birth Day!

We would like to welcome to the world our newest addition Kayleigh Anne Bowman.

She came in with a small cry, weighing in at 9 lbs and 9 oz and 21 1/2 inches long.

They put me in the hospital at 6am yesterday and then started the pitocin drip at about 7am. The contractions were tolerable which surprised me. The thing is that my doctor didn't come and check me till almost 5pm. Which at that time I was only dilated about 5 cm. So 8 hours of being induced had brought me 2 cm farther than I was when I went in that morning. So when she checked me she also broke my water. That definitely sped up my labor cause by 6:14pm Kayleigh finally came. I just wish my dr. would have checked me earlier that morning and I wouldn't have had to sit all day long in the labor and delivery room. But that's all right cause she's here now and beautiful!

Happy Mothers Day!!

To all the moms out there, HAPPY MOTHERS DAY! Hope that it is a great and relaxing day.

Still No Baby

Well, I was hoping that monday we would have a baby, but she was faking. We went to the hospital at 5am with contractions every 5-7 min and then once they started monitoring me they calmed down and then nothing. Pretty much the same thing Cole did to me. I guess they don't really like the hospital. But it was a good thing I didn't have the baby cause my doctor had an emergency and had to go out of town till Wed. I'd really like her to be the one to deliver Kayleigh and She would rather she be there also.

So now I'm just taking it easy. Hanging out and watching cartoons with the kids. Trying to do a little cleaning but don't really have the energy to do much. Nick and I took the kids to the park yesterday and that was fun. We stopped and got sonic for lunch and had a picnic and then let the kids run around the park for about an hour. Then it was naptime.

Today is going to be a lazy day. Nick is at work and also has his Paramedic Written Testing today from 1-3. So I'm not allowed to go into labor during that time, cause he's not allowed to have his phone with him. But I'm not too worried about that. Please Pray that he will pass this part of his test. After this he has one more part that he will have to take and he will finally be done after two years.

Tomorrow I go to a dr. appt. and maybe it'll be time, but I will let everyone know something. Until then , I'm still pregnant. :)

No More Work!

Yeah! Yesterday was my last day at work. I'm now on a three month maternity leave. Hopefully if everthing works out well, I'll be on a permanent leave.

I went to the Dr. on thursday and she said everything looks good, just still not quite ready. I guess she wants to just be comfortable. I'm trying to wait it out because I don't want to be induced with this one. I would really like to know what if feels like to actually go into labor and make Nick rush me to the hospital. Haha. I think he's more ready than I am. He said that if I haven't had Kayleigh by my dr.s appt next thurs he's going to tell her to put me in.

So since we got our new lawn mower Nick has decided to go all out and do lots of yard work. We actually have a decent yard. He mowed, then weedeated and all while I was at work. The kids had a blast being outside with daddy all day long. They were so filthy, but they loved it. Cole got a little used to riding the mower but freaked out when he lost his boot. Cadence just wants daddy to let her drive it all by herself, she thinks she's bigger than she actually is. Our camera battery was dead the other day so I couldn't get any pictures of them riding but I will next time.

Welcome US to the 21st Century

Well, we are finally dial up free!!!!!!!! Today we got high speed internet. It's wonderful. So now I can finally post at will and maybe even update pictures! We also bought a new lawn mower. It's a John Deere Riding mower and Nick is outside enjoying it. We actually have a yard, who knew it was there underneath 3 feet of grass.

So today I am 38 weeks pregnant. I'm getting more miserable by the day. I don't believe my belly can get any bigger, but it just seems to keep growing. We have the nursery ready, the bassinet/play yard is set up in our bedroom. We moved Cadence to the back seat of the van so we can put Kayleigh by Cole. Now all we need is Kayleigh to grace us with her presence. And it couldn't come any quicker. (can you tell I'm tired of being pregnant?) I'm still working though, but friday is my last day. Woohoo. Although I'm hoping to go into labor before then so I don't have to go in on friday.

Hopefully soon I'll be able to post some cute newborn pictures of our newest addition, but until then I'll be uncomfortably pregnant.

What you've been waiting for!

Our snow day a few weeks ago. Cadence loved it but Cole was not to fond of it. It was too cold and wet for him. Too bad it didn't last any longer than that day. Cadence kept wanting it to snow everyday for the rest of that week.

Both just woke up from their nap. Pop was trying to comfort them, they were kind of grouchy.

Our trip to dallas this weekend. They enjoyed it very very much. Meemo came and had dinner one night and the kids cheesed for the pictures.

Pictures

Ok, so I've been trying to post pictures, but because we have such wonderful dial up internet out in the middle of no where I've had no luck. So, next weekend I'll be in dallas at mom and dad's and maybe just maybe I'll have a few minutes to upload some pics of me in my maternity ball gown, and some of the kids in the snow and their new haircuts.

Yesterday, Nick needed a haircut so the kids and I tagged along. Cole's hair was getting really long and it needed to be out of his eyes plus I felt bad for Cadence cause the back of his hair was longer than hers. But because everyone else got their haircut Cadence had to have hers, so we just got it trimmed. They were actually very good this time. Cole sat still and didn't even cry. Cadence did good, I won't say that she sat still the whole time but was still enough for the lady to trim it. Then after the haircuts we went to the park in ruston. It was a fun and eventful day.

Well, last week on wed and thurs Cadence and Cole went to the new daycare. They loved it and they were completely worn out when I picked them up. For those of you that don't know, Cadence and Cole now stay home the majority of the time with Nick. Except for the days that both of us have to work, they go to a new daycare. It's only two days a week. I told Cadence that it was actually a school because she didn't want to go to daycare. It was for babies. They will only go to the daycare until about the middle of April when I go on maternity leave and then they will be home with me full time. I'm definately looking forward to this. I'm not really sure when I'm actually going on leave I know that at the latest it will be April 18 which is a week and a half before my due date. But I'm not sure I'll get to last that long. I'm hoping I will but we'll see. I think my doctor won't let me even last that long. I go wed for an ultrasound, they are going to check the growth of the baby, and might even change my due date, depending on her size. She's really big already. I'll try to get those pictures posted next week too. Well, that's it for now.

Snow in March!?!

Yup! That's right, snow in march. I couldn't believe it either. And to think it was 70 degrees yesterday. No wonder we have been staying sick this winter. The kids loved it though. Cadence made the babysitter call me just so she could tell me it was snowing outside. She played in it over there and then some more after we got home. Cole liked it but kept losing his mittens and that made him mad. He does not like his hands cold. I took pictures of their first snow and will have them posted. I think we actually got between 2-3 inches of snow today, but it's all melted now and the sun is peaking through.



Well, I have just 7 1/2 weeks left to go till my due date. And it couldn't come any sooner. This has been a semi easy pregnancy so far. Not as easy as Cole's but definately easier than Cadence's. We've been getting Kayleigh's room ready but had to get Cole a twin mattress so we can transition him to a big boy bed and out of the crib to move into her room. I'm waiting on his bedding to come in so we can buy sheets and actually let him sleep in it. Not to sure how he is going to do with the freedom of the bed. Hopefully it won't be bad.

New Year! New Car!

Well, we finally did it. Nick and I broke down and bought a minivan. It was a long time coming, but I was mostly against it. We got a great deal on it and we just couldn't pass it up. It's a maroon 2002 Chevy Venture Warner Bros. Edition. It's in excellent condition (for right now, my kids can really ruin a new looking car). Cadence and Cole just love it, especially because Cadence can't reach over and lean on Cole's carseat. Plus it has a dvd player in it and I can keep them occupied with that. It'll come in handy with the road trips I want to go on after the third baby is born. I'll post pictures soon I just have to wash it first. It's been rainy and cold and there's mud all over it.

Anyways, I'm doing good. I'm in my 6th month and starting to show it. I'll have to get Nick to take a picture of my belly. So far, Kayleigh is an active baby, she kicks me all the time to let me know I'm in a position that she doesn't like. Which so far is almost every position that I am comfortable in. But the strange thing is that she could kick me all day long but the moment that Nick puts his hand on my belly, she stops. She has only kicked him once because he just happened to put his hand there at the right moment. But she won't kick him, unlike the other two who would pound his hand everytime it was on my belly. Cadence is still excited about having a little sister and frequently asks when she is coming out to play. Cole is not sure about it, he just knows that he's not happy about the changes that are taking place in my stomach.

Cole is very well entering into his terrible two's. He's throwing fits when he doesn't get his way and can stand up to his bully of a big sister. He's normally happy all the time and loves to get into everything. Getting into the wipes tub is his favorite. He still not talking very much and he won't hardly take that passy out for anything. You have to ask him yes or no questions so he can answer with an uh huh or an uh uh.

Cadence is growing like a weed but her hair still isn't. I don't know what the deal is with that but I'm sure it'll grow one day and never stop. She talks constantly but makes sense. A lot of my friends that have kept her tell me she is the most polite child they have ever kept. Which I find hard to believe cause I don't see that at home a lot. She has a very vivid imagination and really believes that she can hear the baby when she is crying in my tummy. She will also pretend to get her out and rock her to sleep and then put her back in my tummy. It's really funny.

We have a new addition to our family. My older sister Paige and her husband Todd just had their first child. We think she was born sat night 1/19 but it could have been early sunday morning on 1/20 but we are not for sure. Zoie Allison came at a whopping 9 1/2 pounds. Probably a good thing being January even though they are in Florida. I'm praying that I don't have to deliver one that big in April. Congratulations Paige and Todd!!!!
