SISTERS!

Well, we have been very busy these days trying to get everything ready for Anna's Little Sister's arrival and keep up with Anna, work and life in general! Anna's Little Sis is all set to arrive on March 26...so we don't have a lot of time to work with! John and Steve will be painting her room in the next week and Kitty will be trying to get everything organized, washed and put away:) We had a check-up and ultrasound last week to check on our little girl and she is doing great! Growing, growing, growing...in fact, they are trying to tell us that she is already 6 lbs! Hard to believe!!! And, she is breech, so we are happy that we are all set with her arrival and have no worries this time around:) Anna is continuing to grow and TALK a ton these days! She says anything and everything we say (so we really have to watch what comes out of our mouths) and actually says sentences now...four words together qualifies as a sentence in our opinion:) She loves to tell who things belong to, Mommy's, Daddy's, Anna's, Boiler's, etc. and loves to watch basketball with Daddy...every team being Purdue of course and looking for Grandpa at every game as well. She knows that her 'Sista' as she calls her is in Mommy's belly and when you ask her what she says, she will tell you 'Boom, boom, boom'...she came to one of Kitty's appointments and got to hear her heartbeat, pretty smart little thing:) And she loves to say, Anna do it! She is feeding herself and actually is pretty neat about it... We've had 2 times of going to the bathroom in the potty (followed by a 'Yeah, Anna!' by Anna), and those have been a big deal, rewarded with M&M's but we figure she will master it when she is ready (or when Cakes comes down and takes care of business:). So those are the big things in our house. Hope all is well with all of you! Here are pictures of Anna and her little sister before they were born...crazy how much they look alike!

This one was Anna...
