The Philips Family

Well, after much harrassing from Bree, saying we were having twins for weeks now, we have had our ultrasound. There is most definately one baby in there. Another couple of months to find out the color. The heartrate is 160. You know what that means...it could be a girl, or a boy. My doctor laughed as he told us we had a 50/50 chance. Yesterday I was starting to lose it because our house was a mess and that makes me feel crazy inside. Donny was so funny, he must have felt the impending doom of my mood, because every time I asked him to do something, he would say,"Oh yes my mother dear, I would sure love to." How could I possibly be upset after that? We got the upstairs clean with a few laughs.

This is Bree at five. She LOVES animals.

It seems like just yesterday we brought our little angel home. She has brought our family immeasureable amounts of joy. Here is a look of our princess within days of each birthday. Happy Birthday Bree!

This is how you know that you have built a house too small for your growing family; you walk into their room and see trashed brought to a whole new level. I heard bumping, jumping and noises of all natures, but nothing could prepare me for what came next. Imagine being 5 and having a room so small that you actually have to put your bed up against the wall. Not "pushed" against the wall, but actually tilted up sideways on the wall. Ed, advised me that in the best interest of everybodys health and eardrums, I should not go upstairs until the cleaning was done. We have drawers that we organize our toys in. There is one we affectionately call "the girl drawer". All of Bree's smaller girl toys go in this drawer. They had emptied the contents of this drawer and they are now all over her floor. I write about this to calm my nerves. And to keep me from going upstairs where crazy things will happen if I do.

Daddy was tired on St pats day.
