Summer...where have you gone?

It has been awhile since I've posted anything and this summer has flown by! I always comment to my husband that it's a cruel rule of nature that the older you get, the faster time goes by. Don't you think it should be the other way around?

Anyway, this summer has been fun as we prepare for baby #2. Right now I'm 18 weeks along and certainly feeling it. The fatigue, the hunger, and the getting winded every time I get up to do anything? Yep, good times. We just recently found out that we're having another girl! I'm so excited because I feel like every girl should have a sister. And little girls are just so fun! So we'll be welcoming baby Noel in February. Although, I'm trying to decide if we should spell it the traditional way or Noelle. I just worry that some people who live under a rock and have never seen or heard of the word Noel would pronounce it like Joel but with an N. What do you all think?

Here are a few recent pics of Siena at about 17 months old. I can't believe how fast she's growing and how fast she's running! It is NOT easy chasing around a toddler when you're pregnant—that's for sure! But I am amazed every day at how smart she is and how much she's learning. She's at such a fun age.
