I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenck's lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor's children. I want to be there with a little dirl under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

Guess What It Is!!

Well, we went in for our Ultra Sound!  The girls were pretty excited... heck, we all were!  We couldn't wait to find out what we were going to have... if it was going to be another sister, or this little boy we all feel we need in our family.

And,... here are it's fingers... 
and here is it's foot....
And if you can't tell what this is......
IT'S A BOY!!!
We were all so happy!  My doctor, Tracy, told us what it was and Anthony just kept saying,
"No... Really?... Are you sure?..."
Then she pointed everything out to us and there was NO denying it.  We were FINALLY getting our Aiden Stuart!  The girls are very excited and can't wait for him to get here... we all can't.

Here's the next, "Guess what it is."
Hailey always wakes up before anyone else does.
She comes in my room, uses the bathroom, and then asks if she can quietly watch cartoons.
One morning when I came out to the living room this is what I found...
At first I was mad, but then I started laughing and asked her what in the heck she was doing. 
"Making flutes mom.  Duh," is what she told me.
I have to hand it to her, she is the most creative child I have ever met!
At least I didn't need those items for a long while... cause she opened about 20 of them!  If I had needed them desperately, I might not have been so amused by her creation.
What a girl!
