A Crazy Christmas Season

Hey All-
It has been a crazy Christmas season.  I am sorry I have not updated the blog until now.....it feels like it has been a mad dash since before Thanksgiving.  Looking back it was a fun filled season. I am thankful for another wonderful batch of memories. 
A quick update on everyone....I think most everyone knows we are expecting baby #3 in June, but if  you don't now you do!! (-:  We are excited. The girls are hoping for another girl, but I think its no secret Josh's fingers are crossed for a little boy, ha.  We have decided to find out what the baby is which can happen at 20 weeks. So 4 more weeks and we will know!! 
Josh just finished up another great year of work.  He continues to excel and do really well.  He makes us all proud.  Jillian had a great Christmas break. I think she loved the break from school....the sleeping in was something she took full advantage of....(-:  She got to spend some time with her Dad in Oklahoma over Christmas break and got to go to San Fransisco for New Years' Eve with him and his family. She truly enjoyed the trip.  She has raved about the Golden Gate Bridge and also her first attempt at Ice Skating.  Madie spent the week with her sister away soaking up as much attention as possible. (-: We had a great time playing around with her.  She is pure entertainment.  We love her to pieces. Same for Jilly.....her gentle and sweet spirit is truly opposite from Madie so they continue to compliment one another nicely. (-:
As for me I am feeling good. The pregnancy has been good so far.  I am happy to say the weight has not come on like it did with the last two, but the baby is healthy and of the right so far.  I am hoping to be one of those pregnant ladies that is all belly this time. Ha. Hopefully it will come off faster that way too. (-: Above all I am just excited to add to this already great family. I can't imagine what another child will be like or how they will look, act, etc. I am so excited to be doing this again.
Well, that is all for now.  I will be able to keep up more frequently now that the holidays have passed. I promise to keep everyone updated as much as possible.
Love to all,
Jess and the crew.
