We are proud to introduce the newest family members in our clan: Sandrine and Phoebe. We got them on Monday night and they are already a family favorite, and could in fact be getting a little too much love from Luke and Ethan. They learned to use the litter box from day one and I am enjoying the fact that pregnant women aren't supposed to be around litter boxes which means Rob is cleaning it out by default. :) We are taking them to the vet tonight but they seem to be about 8 weeks old and are eating cat food just fine. They are both girls (we think because Calico cats are always girls according to some freak genetic something or other) and they wrestle with each other like they are Jarom and Nate. Phoebe is the white one and is definitely more curious. She is always trying to get out of the mudroom to explore the house and you have to be super careful about her. Sandrine is more calm and took a little longer to warm up to us. But they are both doing great! We are loving having them around! If Hailey and all the other kids don't scare them by shouting, "Here, Kitty, Kitty!!!!" at the top of their lungs then they are actually quite friendly!

In other news, our baby girl is growing fast! I am now 21 weeks along and doing well. I have started walking with Karen Slaugh and we've gone 3 times this week so far! I didn't expect pregnancy to make working out so different but it is exhausting! Walking has been good though and I'm glad to have someone to go with. I have another doctor appointment on Friday but I expect everything will be just fine! Here is a video that we took the day that we went in for the ultrasound and found out that our baby is a girl!

This was obviously taken before we left for the hospital but I'm glad we documented our thoughts! Now that we know she is a girl we have pretty much settled on the name Scarlett. We aren't sure on a middle name yet so if anyone has suggestions, let us know!

Rob is really enjoying school and has been doing very well. He's done well on his tests and has enjoyed challenging himself mentally. He has labs that are virtual reality experiments where he has to drill as if on a patient and he is getting better at that. Apparently it is a lot harder than it seems. He has made a ton of friends and even passed out a Book of Mormon last week to one girl. He loves the city and doesn't mind the commute too much but of course he always misses me!

I'll keep you posted on anything else that happens, like if we make any more sudden additions to the family or something. :)
