On the baby front we were able to have a 4D ultrasound done for FREE!!! It was so much fun! Grace especially enjoyed it! She is going to be such a great big sister to this little guy. Lena was also fascinated. Erik and I were thrilled that I won such a neat prize as it would have cost us $170 to do. We were given a DVD of the ultrasound and when we later viewed it, we could definitely tell that micah is going to have the same chin and nose as the girls! SO neat! Here's a picture of our precious little man!
Over Memorial Day weekend we enjoyed a cookout with my family on Saturday and then my parents took us all to see The Night at the Museum 2. Everyone thought it was hilarious- Lena and I saw the first 15 min and then walked around the mall the rest of the time! Oh well- someday I will be able to sit through a movie at the theatre! :)
Erik's mom and dad also came for a visit. We made sure we took a dip in the freezing pool on Memorial Day morning! Though the girls' teeth were chattering they loved being able to get in the pool again!
Since we are not going to be able to take any type of vacation this year (well, we haven't had one since our honeymoom, but who's counting) we decided to have a campout at my parents house on Friday night. We did everything you would do if you went camping! Erik pitched the tent. Set up the kiddie pool and played in the water. We Grilled out dinner. Made smores and hobo pies. And thoroughly enjoyed our time together as a family!
It was so much fun! It truly doesn't matter where you go or how much money spend as long as you are having fun together as a family!!
God continues to send little blessings our way! I am able to participate in another diaper survey starting this Friday! Though it is a bit of work I think it is well worth it. I will get three weeks worth of diapers and $55 to Meijer's for participating. The giftcard will definitely come in handy as I am saving all giftcards until after Micah arrives since I will not be working for awhile. YAY for free diapers and groceries!!!
Speaking of free groceries.... Saturday Erik, the kids and I ran into Meijer and Kroger. We bought..... 4 boxes of waffles, 5 boxes of frozen pretzels, 2 jars salsa, 4 cannisters Contry Time lemonade, 10 packs Kool-aid, and 3 gallons of milk....... and we only spent $7!!! All right! I'm so blessed to have a hubby to humor me with this quick money saving trip!
Also, another little blessing- since we are moving in less than 4 weeks (AAAHHH!!! we haven't found a place yet but are getting close!) we are going to be needing boxes to pack things in. Well someone in our complex just moved and put their Professional Moving Boxes out for anyone to take!! So, we have 10 boxes that we didn't have to buy or go look for!!
God truly cares about even the little things! Hope you have a good week, and I will try to keep you better updated on all that is happening here!
