New pictures

Technology is so cool! This is the first time we ever get 4-D pics of any of our kids. I'm so excited about it. To see exactly what our child looks like without disturbing it in the womb. So amazing!! I'll get these done for the rest of my pregnancy because I have to continue seeing the specialist. Here is our baby boy (he looks just like Jon Michael):

This evening's sunset

We looked out of our window and saw an eerie glow, so we ran onto the front porch, and this is what we saw. Gorgeous! God was showering us with His love! On the other side of our porch was a rainbow:-) But I didn't get pictures of it, I was stuck staring at this side:-)

Kieser

Since our internet has been acting up I haven't been able to post about Kieser. Unfortunately, our sweet dog died about a week and a half ago. We got back from church and he was dead. We don't know what happened. It's a major bummer, and we will miss him so much! He was such a great dog. Emily still gets mad because she yells for him to come play with her, and he doesn't come. She doesn't understand. I try to get her to understand that he went bye bye, but she still thinks he is hiding in his house or something. Jon Michael and Ashlynn are ok. It was mostly Jonathan and I that took it hard. Here's a recent picture:

Smarty Pants

Ok....How did Daddy do this? I think I'm supposed to turn this key first...



Then I need to pull this stringy thing....

Then put the pedal to the metal!!!!!!!!!

SO PROUD!

Fun in the sun

Our internet has been freaking out, so now that it is working I want to hurry and upload as many pictures as I can, to update everyone on how our summer has been going. It's been so hot lately we haven't been able to play in the slip n slide :-( But here are some pictures from one day playing on it. It is a really cool one that fills up with like 3 inches of water and there is a skim board and you have to run and jump on the skim board and surf...well, try to surf. So fun...but bummer, I can't try it out this summer:-( It's on for next year thought!


Big wave:-)
Here is Jonathan "trying" to surf :-)


Here's one I got of the sunset. The rays were pouring through the clouds. So awesome!

Update

It's been a while since I have been able to post. Lots going on, and our internet at home has been giving us problems. I had my appointment with the specialist, and the baby looks great. Growing perfectly. And.....it's a BOY :-)!!! I will have to continue seeing the specialist for the rest of my pregnancy. One thing I didn't know about hyperthyroidism is that it can affect the placenta, so they have to keep a close eye on that. I had a bunch of test run on me to see whats up with my thyroids, but the results have not come in yet. I did get the results from my cardiologist. I have Mitro Valve Prolaps, but they are not worried about it, and are sure it will go away once the baby is born. Also, the 24 hour monitor I had to wear showed that I have a rapid resting heart rate, which I already knew...most likely caused from my hyperthyroidism. I have actually been feeling good the passed few days, so I am excited about that. I'm hoping it continues to be this way so I can enjoy the rest of my pregnancy. Thanks for all your prayers!! I'm attaching a few pics of the baby from the ultra sound. One is a side profile pic of the face, one is a front view of his face, and the other is of his "pee pee"....proof that it IS a boy.
