History Repeats Itself

We had our 20 week ultrasound on Tuesday and learned we are having another GIRL!
From Bobby's perspective:

Well, here I am, a man with TWO daughters....what else can I say?

Actually, I am very excited about the doubling of everything "girl". You know, 2xs the tea parties, 2xs the dolls, 2xs the clothes, 2xs the makeup...and estrogen, and monthly cycles, and boyfriends, and prom nights, and college formals, and....weddings. I can be certain that my prayer life will also double:-)

Everything is right on track. Baby girl is healthy, has both sides of her brain (praise the Lord we don't have to go through that mess again), and delivery date is still July 5 or a few days earlier.

Upon many requests, I will post a belly shot here soon!

Change, Change and Even More Change

As of December 20, 2007...we officially became Hoosiers again! Bob accepted a job transfer within Boston Scientific, providing us the opportunity to move closer to family and friends in Indiana! Along with a CHANGE of territory for Bob, residence for us as a family, adjustment to the weather conditions of the Midwest, and all other changes that come with a move across the country...Samantha will also be a BIG SISTER early July! We are excited about the new addition and will keep you all posted via this page=)

California International Marathon--12/07

Bob accomplished a goal of his--running and finishing a marathon before moving from California! The race allowed him to see Folsom to downtown Sacramento through a new perspective. It was an awesome experience to be a part of! We shared the day of celebration with many of our dear Californian friends!

Trip to San Diego

We spent this past weekend in San Diego visiting my cousin Erin and her family. It was a great getaway! Samantha loved spending time with her cousins. She especially liked escaping to Kilee's room, only to find it was her dream come true...babies, babies and more babies! When Kilee's door was closed, Samantha wandered into Wyatt's room to play his drumset! She was so sad to leave=(

Our trip included special time with cousins, a visit to the zoo, dinner by the beach with Aunt Debbie, attending the church where Erin's husband, Grant pastors, and making lots of fun memories!

Wyatt, Samantha, and Kilee ready for bed!

We went to zoo Saturday and then the beach for dinner.

Samantha loved when she got to get out of her stroller!

This was the only position that would distract her enough from wanting to be down running around!

Snack time!




Bouncing Around

Samantha finally figured out how to bounce on her Rody! She loves to chew on his ears too=)

Happy Birthday Mommy!

Auntie Ally's August Visit








We had an awesome time with my sister Ally when she came out for a week of "relaxation" before heading off to IU! Little did she know that "relaxation" takes on new meaning when there is a 14 month old niece involved=) She shook maracas with Sam during her music class, experienced the Sacramento Zoo with an unhappy toddler, chased the wild one through the mall, meandered the San Francisco boutiques with sticker shock, and made tons of fun memories with us here in California!

Tahoe With The Ravensbergs
















Grandpa Bobby and Grandma Marty came to visit! We spent a beautiful weekend in Tahoe. We had fun hiking, biking, and dining around the lake! Samantha LOVED the fresh air, "freedom," mountain doggies, running anywhere her feet hit the ground, eating ice cream, swimming in the pool, and having 4 crazy adults chase her around all weekend=)
