The countdown has started!!!

Well, five days and counting.  We are scheduled for a amnio on Thursday and c/s on Friday if everything looks good with lung maturity.  It seems strange to know exactly when this little one will be arriving.  It has been a rough couple of weeks with sciatic pain/bedrest etc....  We feel really blessed that the nerve pain didn't arrive until the end of this pregnancy : )   Hadley is very excited about the baby coming on Friday and she informed us that her baby will be coming on the same day.  Very exciting times in the Larsen household!!!!  We will keep you posted.

Missing Shoe?????

On Saturday before last I decided to take the children on a walk around Centennial Lake.  Well,  this was the first time I have done this without a stroller and by myself.  About 3/4 of a mile into our walk we came to a bridge.  We were watching ducks swim under it and having such a great time.  At this point very pregnant me decided it was time to double back and head for the car.  A couple of older women were walking by and one looked at the three of us and said one day you will laugh about this.  I didn't quite understand what she was talking about until I looked down and Cooper had become a one shoe wonder.  When we looked over the edge of the bridge and there was his shoe in the water.  Hadley informed me that we just needed to ask Daddy to come and get it for us.  I had to tell her that even Daddy wouldn't be able to save the shoe.  So, for the walk back to the car Cooper hobbled with one shoe on and just his sock on his other foot.  We only have one pair of play shoes for him so needless to say my next stop was to buy him a new pair of tennis shoes.  Oh, the adventures of motherhood.  If you ask Cooper where his shoe is he will way "water - water", and Hadley will then remind you that it isn't her fault. So, if the duck family who has the other shoe wants the mate, just let me know : )

Hadley's 3rd Birthday!!!

We celebrated Hadley's 3rd birthday on February 20th.  Wow, time has flown by so quickly.  We had cupcakes with her friends the day before during a preschool activity, and then a family party the night of her birthday.  She was Sooooo excited for her "Happy Day".  She couldn't believe her good fortune for all of the  princess items she received : )  Hadley brings so much joy into our lives and we feel blessed for each and every day of the past three years!

Let them eat cake!!

I couldn't resist this picture of Cooper eating cake on Hadley's third birthday.
