Klauser Family Visit

Starting last Friday night we had the privilege of hosting Nate's brother's family from New Mexico and his parents from Iowa.  Needless to say, the weather was not exactly pool cooperative, but was perfect for outdoor activities and even some beach fun.  Most of our time involved us catching up while the kids played together.  Thankfully between Amelia and us we did capture a few memorable pictures. 

Overall, it was so much fun and we thank you all for traveling up to see us!  We miss you already.

 

Wordless Wednesday

 

An Awesome Waiting Room

I never mind having to take my children to their pediatric dentist office because the waiting room is awesome!  They have big televisions with kid movies playing, lots of fun books, I-pads with games on them, fun chairs and a play area that you enter through a large tire.  Needless to say, it keeps them busy and is so much fun.

More importantly though, we left the dentist with happy kids and no cavities! :)

Classic Kid Games

The kiddos and I spent quite sometime this morning playing the classic kid games, hide n' go seek and tag.  You are more than welcome over to play with us next time :)

Our Miracle #4 Is A....




BOY!






After the initial shock of discovering that our littlest miracle was a boy, we were filled with joy.  Especially because he looks completely healthy and perfect. 

Some of you maybe curious on how Elyse took it (since she has been praying since January for a baby sister).  Well we did balloons and a video but there were tears so we decided not to post it :(  However, we were able to use this as a teachable God moment.  It allowed us to explain that God always listens to our prayers but does not always answer with a "yes".  There is a reason why this baby is a boy and we may never know but need to thank God for giving him to us.  We do ask for your prayers on giving her peace that she most likely will never have a newborn/baby sister.   

As for us we, are excited to become a family of 6 in just a few months. 


Anoka County Fair

Our local county fair has been going on since last Tuesday and since today's weather was so perfect we decided to check it out.  Needless to say, it wasn't as big as the county fair I attended growing up or anywhere near the size of MN's state fair, but it didn't disappoint.  We saw lots of farm animals, road tractors, attended a demolition derby, walked through the old town and ate fair food.

 

 

Bookstore

Since we were in the area this morning, and the weather was cool and cloudy we decided to stop by our local bookstore for a while.  All three kids and I just love going there.  Although what's not to love, new books, a stage to dance or read on and trains to play with?!? 

Deeply apologize for the HORRIBLE pictures.  I forgot to change the settings on my phone.
