Some News!

I have to admit that one of the reasons I wanted to get this blog up and running again is because I feel we owe it to our third child to broadcast every detail of his or her early life over the internet. It's nothing short of a basic parental responsibility.

And in case you missed what I just barely glossed over...we're expecting again!

Rocka Baby is due to arrive on New Years Day! Rocka Baby is the name Ping Pong has given our latest family member. We think he was inspired by the classic lullaby "Rock-a-bye Baby." Poki thoroughly approves of the name because there is a Lego Hero Factory guy named Rocka. So there you go!

FYI: As excited as we are to meet our newest little guy or girl, we're going to do our best to wait to find out if s/he is, in fact, a guy or girl until Rocka Baby's grand entrance! Let's see if that actually happens. :)

Yay for babies!

Our House!

Some of you have been in the know about this, but we haven't posted about it. We bought a house! We closed on it last week and Andrei has been hard at work fixing it up before we move at the end of the month. We're so excited! Here are some ("before") pictures that we took after our closing.

Poki had the honor of being the first to open the door



Our kitchen





Our dining room (which I think we will use as a study for now)



Our living room



Downstairs sunroom (we'll use it as a playroom for now)



Poki's bedroom (complete with chin-up bar)



The master bedroom

Hopefully we'll have some "after" photos in a few weeks!
