Friday we found out it's a girl!! We don't have any names chosen, but we are looking forward to October when she arrives. Jacinda wants to name her Strawberry Shortcake (can you tell what is popular with her?). We are trying to tell McCabe that mommy is having a baby, but every time we say "baby" he points to his belly.

I wanted to upload pictures with this post but at the moment I cannot find my picutre attachment....so you will need to use your imagination. McCabe is big into trains. He loves to play with them, watch them, and hear their whistle blow. He is a huge fan of Thomas the Train and loves to say, "Skarloey."

Jacinda is big into Strawberry Shortcake, Veggie Tales, and playing with her dolls. She is currently working hard to earn a bike. She has a chore chart and for every chore completed she gets a sticker. Once all the boxes on the chart are filled she gets to pick out a bike.

Tim is big into taking small projects and making them huge. This past Saturday he spent the day building a playground/jungle gym for the kids. He woke up at 4:00 am thinking about how to make it better than his original idea. This is one of the many reasons why I love this man. No matter how simple the task, he always goes the extra 12 miles!!

Yesterday I got to be an extra in a movie called the “Crowley Project.” It stars Harrison Ford, Brendan Fraser, and Keri Russell. I participated in two scenes, the school play (as an audience member) and in front of the school as a parent dropping off her daughter. I won’t be seen in either one because both times I was too far away from the cameras. However, it was a fun experience. If you see this movie when it comes out note the outdoor scene when everybody is in a jacket or a sweater and see if anyone is sweating. It was 89 degrees and that segment was shot 9 times. The crew was awesome about getting water and sunblock to the participants.

It is amazing how society builds up actors and actresses. They are just ordinary people like us. I took some pictures but need to figure out how to get them from my phone to the computer. Stay tuned for pictures.
