How lucky we are!

Today is John's birthday... And to say that me, Drew, Jack and Bo are lucky is the understatement of the century. We sure love our daddy!!!!

Baby Burke

So, we've come to what I feel is a final name for the baby (if she's still born a girl - which I think could still be wrong...)...

Elizabeth - we'll call her Ellie. We don't call any of our kids by their direct given name ... why start now?

In other news, she hates shrimp. And I love shrimp. I have tested my theory and come with the conclusion that she does hate it. I can eat it and enjoy it, but the next day, I pay for it ALL DAY LONG. Lent could be really penitent this year!

We are working on the kids 'chinese fire drill' room swap. We are finishing the bunk beds this weekend. Then the big boys can move into one room. Then we'll paint and fix up the room Jack used to have for Bo. We are debating taking him out of the crib (he'll JUST turn two this coming June). We did it with Drew, but there will be enough changes without taking his crib away too. Finally, it will be girl decor time. Fixing up Ellie's room... Move her in hopefully around July 31st.

That wraps up most things here - hope all is well in your neck of the woods :)

It's a ...

GIRL!!!

Updates All Around

Here's a wrap of winter 09 so far... Drew is still LOVING basketball. He plays all the time when the weather allows. Jack got to run in the school Boosterthon and was so very excited to be with the 'big kids'... The run is a fundraiser, but it's a really fun time for the kids. Bo has been hanging in there. He has walking pneumonia (diagnosed yesterday) but is really rebounding from the medication already (thankfully)... No fever today!!

I am including a couple favorite pictures from the year so far. One is of Bo and his friend Cooper - they are only a couple days apart age-wise. So cute!
