Or maybe not to little...
I have been remiss in not updating the blog lately. Part of it is not having the time to do so; part if it is pure laziness. I am friends with so many of you on facebook, that it is just so much easier to stick a quick status update in there and keep moving.
But anyway, back to the announcement!
K and I are proud to announce that Smith Baby #3 is on the way! Due date is currently October 4, but I will not likely make it that long. I am thinking mid to late September.
I've been surprised at how many people are so wrapped up in knowing whether it was "planned" or not. As if 1) it makes a difference, and 2) it is any of their business, anyway! :)
Let's just say we are very excited and, after a month of complications and not knowing whether the baby was going to make it, we are so very thankful that God is already watching over this little one!
Moses knew the secret for about 3 weeks before we told anyone, and he kept it a secret! I was so proud of him! But now that it is public knowledge, he is telling EVERYONE that he is going to have a "new baby sister." Hmmmmmm... I guess sometimes children know things that adults don't know, but I don't think this is necessarily one of them. We ask him whether it would be okay if it is a brother; usually he answers, "I think so."
It is going to be a busy week- ZuZu turns 1 on Saturday!- but I am going to TRY to make sure I blog this very important week. I can't believe she is 1 already! God really knew what He was doing. If I wasn't pregnant right now, I would probably be crying all week that my baby is growing up! I'm still a little choked up about it, but it is so nice to know my baby days aren't over yet!

My funny valentine
Moses has been SO FUN this week. He's really understanding Valentine's Day. Watching "Be my Valentine, Charlie Brown" has probably helped. He's been reciting it all week. :)
I admit it was a little bit of a struggle to get him to sign all 18 Valentines for his class. But M&M bribes work wonders!
But he LOVED decorating his Superman valentine box, with a 3D Superman on top.
He had insisted on Superman valentines. Of course, you can't just run to Walmart for those; I had to find them on ebay. Yep. I'm THAT mom. And proud of it...
Anyway, his class party was on Thursday. They do the valentines before the moms arrive, but I got a glimpse in the room:
And, of course, I have to take a picture while they pray for the snack (this time Dairy Queen cake- yum!), because it is just SO DARN CUTE.
After a fun valentine craft, they played a game. Everyone won a prize, but Moses was next to last in winning one (he's definitely my son when it comes to the "losing games" department). But he was MUCH more into the game than in winning. He loved dancing and clapping in a circle:
And when he did win his ring pop, he exclaimed, "LOOK! A sucker! I got a sucker!" As if it were the best prize in the world- and as if 16 other kids hadn't already gotten one. :) What a sweetie!
But I am wondering if Moses had a special "Valentine"- or two- of his own this year. There are twin girls in his class, one of them pictured closely here with Moses:
The class was supposed to sign their names to 18 valentines, but not put other children's names on the cards (to ease the process of dropping them in the boxes, I guess). But there was a big valentine inside Moses' box- specifically addressed to him- from the twins. With a $5 gift card to McDonalds inside! I would LOVE to know if they did that for all the kids- but I do know they seem to like Moses quite a bit!
Tomorrow we will continue our tradition of giving our children each a book on Valentine's day., and eating a heart-shaped pizza. It's one of the best traditions we've started!

Our little tomboy
This is what ZuZu does when Moses is having his afternoon quiet time in his room:
(Forget the doll stuff- she's getting her own Geotrax stuff for her birthday!)
This is what ZuZu does when she gets frustrated (watch the feet):
This is what ZuZu does when Mommy is too tired to keep up anymore:
But I have hope. Maybe I will have a little pom-pon girl after all:
