Just another Saturday morning...

So we're [all] sitting in bed Saturday morning discussing our plans for the day. I mentioned to Chris that he might be able to mow the lawn before it started to rain.

Ainsley jumps out, says "I know" and runs downstairs.

We wait (and wait and wait) for her to come back to the bedroom. After about 10 minutes, we go out to investigate. She has pulled out she and Emma's outdoor chairs, poured them water and cheerios (without spilling) moved her new barbie boom box out to the porch, and is brining a bunch of books down. When she's done, she announces "We're ready to watch daddy mow the grass."

What a proud moment for a mommy. The grass was mowed before 10am. And they sat and watched the entire time, eating their food, listening to their music and reading their books.

Ainsley's Fourth Birthday

We had Ainsley's birthday this past Sunday- her princess and pinanta party in the park, and a good time was had by all. We also got to host Stripes over the past weekend, the pet zebra of her mother's day out program, and grammy-grams and big pop-pop (my parents) were here too, so it was just an exciting weekend!

Emma continues to be infatuated with the pop-pop, starting her days by me walking into her room and Emma announcing "I want to see the pop-pop" and ending with rocking with him. She surprised us though, insisting on grammy from time to time as well (much to grammy-gram's delight :)). She certainly knows her mind!

Ainsley had a great time- though she was a bit overwhelmed by it all. We miss ya'll and love you and hope to catch up soon.

Long time no write- exciting news!

So I'll just go ahead and admit that consistency is one of my flaws... and move on.

We have exciting news in the Foca family. We are expecting our third child in September of this year. This has taken up a lot of our time in the past couple of months, but with our house on the market and the first trimester morning sickness behind, we're looking forward to the next couple of months! Ainsley is very excited at the prospect of being a big sister again, though she insists that it must be a boy because "she already HAS a sister..." hmmm... that one should be interesting
