Long Time

It's been a long time since I last posted and we have been pretty busy. We recently found out that we are expecting another little Roehrig to join our family!! My due date is January 20, 2008 and at my nine week appointment this past week the baby had a very strong heartbeat and everything looks wonderful! I have been a little more tired than usual and during the evenings very nauseated, but I welcome every pregnancy symptom because that is a good sign all is well. As many of you know we have been trying very hard for a while and we feel very blessed and extremely excited about this baby. I showed Noelle the picture of the ultrasound and told her that this is our new baby in my belly. She grabbed the picture and gave it a big kiss! Hopefully that is a good inclination that she is going to be a very loving and accepting older sister.

The first weekend in June we spent celebrating Grandpa Roehrig's 55th birthday. All of Tom's family got together and had a big BBQ. It was a lot of fun and we finally got to see our new little niece Macy Isabella Marie Roehrig, born in March, not to mention other family we haven't seen in a while. Noelle really enjoyed pointing at Macy and saying "baby" over and over. Surprisingly, she was very interested in her. Also, while we were there Tom was able to wash his car outside. For some odd reason it is something he really enjoys and looks forward to. Noelle, being an extreme water lover, had to be right in the middle helping out. We gave her a bucket and the hose and much fun was had. Here are some pictures to enjoy of the weekend!

This week my good friend Stacy Zbytowski and her son, Jacob, came to stay with us. We stayed busy during the week visiting a local petting zoo, shopping, going to the water park in Dundee, and playing together! We have discovered this summer that our little girl is a complete water baby. She loves to dunk her head in water and stay in any pool or sprinkler until her little body is shaking from the cold and her lips are bright purple. While we were at the indoor water park, she played in the kiddie pool continuously and her little body was so cold she could barely stand without visibly shaking! I kept taking her out and warming her up, but she wanted right back in! Also we learned that Noelle doesn't know how to share very well so I spent a lot of the week trying to stop her from ripping toys out of Jacob's hand! By the end of the week the children were playing together pretty well. Here are some more pictures to enjoy:

Well, that has been our June so far. I promise to update more frequently!
