As you can see - Molly made most of the phone calls when we found out we were having another girl - while Peter buried his head in Bob's shoulder and cried about another girl - he got over it quickly!
Everyone celebrating at DQ after getting the big news that we are having another Baby Girl!
Peter and Annie are almost naked in the picture above - they were waiting for their tubbies!
Korin and Sean came over on Wednesday night and I promised them Italian ice from Rita's if they smiled for a few pictures. It worked! In the above picture Korin and Molly are looking through Molly's Lifebook - Interesting conversations the girls had based on the scrapbook. Molly is so used to tummy mommy's and questions about the color of the kids skins and whether they are REALLY sister and brother. Korin has never really asked and had some really great questions after looking through the book. When they were through I asked if Korin had any other questions and she shrugged her shoulders, said no and then said "Wow - that is SO cool, Auntie Kasey." I think so!
Before I go any further I have to congratulate my cousins Todd and Michelle in San Diego - they are due a few weeks after me and they are having a girl too. That is 6 baby girls on that side of the family in the last year or so (Katie Russell -1 year, Annie - 9 months, Katie Harding - 3 months, Nora Lewendowski - 3 weeks, Caroline - in utero and Michelle and Todd's new baby - in utero) - WOW - Girls Rock!
After a rough start the kids and I dropped Ann off at Auntie Ann's to be spoiled by the three nuns while we went to see Kung Fu Panda. It was so much fun to be able to give all my attention to the big kids - they reveled in it. Bob is in Boston helping KK make the final move to CT - unfortunately there is a huge thunder and lightening storm in Boston so they are drenched and working hard! Back to our movie - half way through after Peter seemed to be concentrating heavily on the movie for about a half hour he turned to me and asked if I still love him. He had had a rough morning of not listening and a hitting incident with Molly but it amazes me that my love could possibly be questioned by any of my kids. I say it 100 times a day- usually with hugs, kisses and attention thrown in - how could my sweet little boy possibly question my love. Or worse yet - how could he question his ability to be lovable - this is my affectionate, cuddlebug of a kid - it breaks my heart but I tried to not make a big deal out of it. I simply looked him in the eye and said "There is nothing in the entire world that would make me stop loving you." He continued to look me in the eye and said "Then how come some mom's do - like the mom's whose kids have to go to foster homes?" And, yes, we were smack dab in the middle of our kung fu Panda movie as this conversation was taking place. I decided to forgo the conversation until later so we could really chat seriously (I also needed some time to think about this since Peter was in foster care for a signifigant period of time as a baby and didn't want to send any wrong messages!) and we held hands for the rest of the movie. We had a great conversation later on - Peter is very intuitive and sensitive!
Annie was wonderful for Auntie Ann and the kids were tired and happy as we drove home. It is Lisa and Paul's anniversary (13 years - holy cow!) so Lucas and Ella are coming over for a sleepover so they can go away - Yeah for them! Did I mention that Bob and I are going out tomorrow night??????????????
