the GLENN family

Written February 11, 2016 A week ago today, I found out that I'm pregnant with our THIRD child! I still kind of can't believe it. We're going to have 3 kids in our family. There are going to be more kids than parents! This time, I really didn't suspect that I was pregnant. I wasn't feeling sick or tired or moody or anything, so I was pretty surprised. I told Andrew by writing "I'm pregnant" with chocolate sauce on the top of a carton of ice cream. We were chatting after the kids had gone to bed and I told him that I had bought ice cream. He was already so excited. Then, when I took off the lid and flipped the carton toward him while we were talking, he freaked out. He was so happy and I wish I had a picture of the smile that was on his face. And only like 40% of that excitement was because of the ice cream ;) I haven't been feeling really sick or tired or so on, but I do sometimes get really stressed. When Adaline and Matthew are both cranky...

For the sake of going in chronological order: Andrew finally got a new pair of shoes. I never see him when he's wearing these so I didn't realize how worn out they were and he's not the kind of person to say anything about it. They were so sad looking when they finally got to retire. At the end of July, we headed to Spokane to visit Wilson and Co. Since the drive is over 14 hours with no stops, we decided to take a detour on the way up by going to Lassen Volcanic National Park and spend a solid two days driving up. It was an AWESOME detour. The visitors' center was super cool and had fun things for the kids. We walked and drove through some beautiful views, got to slide down a hill covered in snow, and play in Helen Lake. We also saw some mud that was boiling so rapidly it looked ready for the pasta to be added. All set for the many many hours of driving ahead Yup, that's a big ol' pregnant belly.
