Snow Day

Yesterday we had the first significant snow of the year. We had lots of fun playing outside in the snow yesterday, but I definitely could have waited a while longer for this seeing as the average temperature in November here is supposed to be in the 50s. Jed on the other hand was hoping very much for this snow day. You see, Jed is substitute teaching seminary (the early morning bible class for high-schoolers in our church) for a friend this week and seminary starts at 5:45 in the morning. I think this was the first time I have ever seen Jed anxiously checking the school cancellations. Of course seminary is so early that Jed was already up and showered by the time they canceled school at 5 am, but he was happy to crawl back into bed instead of venturing out in the cold.

We ran out of bubbles for about a week - James was pretty excited when they made their return.

Wednesday morning story time is always a highlight for James.

Yesterday morning we had our ultrasound and found out the gender of baby K2, so lets see if some of those old wives tales are correct.

Carrying Low Boy - Carrying High Girl - Too Soon to Tell

Heartbeat Below 140 Boy - Heartbeat Over 140 Girl

Not Too Much Morning Sickness Boy - Lots of Morning Sickness Girl

Craving Salty Boy - Craving Sweet Girl - Neither (No Cravings)

Chinese Gender Predictor – Girl

Normal Skin Boy - Lots of Breakouts Girl 

So the consensus from the old wives tales is ... nothing. No consensus whatsoever. In the end it doesn't matter through because we are very excited to be having a ...

GIRL!!!
