Can it be? I am already through my first trimester of my last child (unless God has other plans ;) ) I am feeling pretty good... the pure exhaustion stage has passed and I have just been dealing with a few aches and pains here and there but otherwise feeling pretty good. There is no doubt that I am pregnant if you look at my midsection but thankfully there are still some "normal" jeans that fit :) I don't want to buy a lot being that we aren't planning on having anymore but I did break down and get a pair of khakis and two shirts from Clothes Mentor the other day. Some of my stuff from the other two has gotten to look pretty worn and much of it is still too big so something had and will still have to be done. It is hard to believe that we are already down to just 28 weeks- probably closer to 26.5 until we become a family of five. YIKES! I hope we are ready for this ;)
In other news... Micah is officially done with his first year of soccer. They had a great season and Tim was a great head coach. If they officially kept score (which they don't) they won all but one game. Pretty good for a first year team and coach :) He had his last game yesterday and then a short awards ceremony are which he got a pretty cool medal. I am proud of him for sticking with it and improving throughout the season. He won the award for the "Best Dribbler" which made him pretty excited :) He has some real talent in him if he could learn to focus and get more motivated. He told us that he wants to play next year... I hope he does b/c I enjoyed being a soccer Mom.
Micah also finished up another swimming session at the Y and he still has yet to move out of his level. He is getting better but is still nervous about jumping in and going under or any other skill that requires water getting in his face. I fear putting Addie back in... they are at the same level now and I have no doubt that she will quickly pass him as soon as she signs up. It is going to have to happen at some point as she is asking to get back involved... maybe that would motivate him more? He has shown improvement so at least I can rest in the fact that the class isn't a total waste.
I have been a horrible photographer Mommy the past month or two as I have been so busy with the business that I have neglected my own children. I finally got a few pics outside last week of Addie so I thought I would share those as well as some soccer ones of Micah in hopes that they don't look like total strangers to those of you whom don't see them on a day to day basis. I promise to get some new fall photos soon...

Try not to think too much about the swimming issue. I was like Micah--hated jumping in or getting my face wet. My brother, on the other hand, was a fish. He started out 3 levels behind me and passed me by. I don't remember it bothering me. I remember being more bothered by the teachers passing me on even though I couldn't/wouldn't dive off the board. I think they felt bad for me with my brother moving on.
