Brother or Sister?

by Cora

Well, Mom and Dad were gone for a while this morning. I knew today was the day, and I knew they were so excited. Mom didn't sleep well through the night, and she got up earlier than normal. The alarm was really annoying.

She showed us pictures, and all sorts of stuff when she got home. She told me to be careful who I tell too, because Grandpa Steve and Uncle Vern in MN don't want to know what it is. So writing it here might not be too good.

I'm really excited, because I love kids and Jack is good with kids too, but Mom told me that we have to be very careful for a while when the baby comes, because we are not used to babies. We are used to small kids and big kids, but I think I'll be good with the baby. I have to have my head on Mom's belly, because it is fascinating what is moving and making noises in there. Mom doesn't mind me being there, because she is always cold and I keep her warm.

I suppose you are all waiting....................... Well maybe Mom will be able to go to Walmart one of these days and copy those pictures she has on the frig, they all tell you what it is.

Okay, okay, okay...... Jack is bugging me to tell you all.........it is a GIRL!

Happy Easter!!!

Happy Easter everyone. We got to enjoy the festivities today too! We went to our Grandma and Grandpa's here in Louisiana. The weather was pretty unforgiving today, but we still managed to play both outside and inside.

Easter is special for our family. Not only because Jesus rose from the tomb, but because 3 years ago Dad proposed to Mom and I guess he adopted us, and now we are getting a little brother or sister in less than 5 months. Mom is excited again, because she is going to be able to tell us if it will be a boy or girl.

We like to celebrate with the entire family and Grandpa Hoa makes so much food, that we are not able to taste, but by the look and smell of it all, it looks delicious. After everyone eats and takes a nap, we get to play. Our little cousin, Turtle, played with us all of the time.

Dad likes to bring his 4 wheelers everywhere, and Turtle has a little one that he rides around the house, so it was Uncle Floyd and Turtle all afternoon, and Dad had to do what Turtle said, so if he wanted him to stand, he had to stand. If he wanted me to chase him, I had to chase him. You catch my drift, right?
And of course Turtle is one cool dude! With his shades, and his rad bike.

Well I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter and remember to always forgive, like Jesus did.
