"The big one"

Aah Kate, the oldest, the first born or the big one, as my niece Summer used to call her. She has always made us laugh, but lately her humor has a sassy edge to it (she is a tween you know). This is what happened at dinner the other night:

Kate bossing Emma around telling her what to do

Matt: Kate, who are the mom and dad here?

Kate: You

Matt: Then who needs to mind their own business?

Kate: YOU!

History 101

I was hanging out with this cute kid the other day and we started talking about Sept.11th. Our coversation went a little something like this:

Ryne: Did you know they are rebuilding the twin towers?

Me: Really? That's cool.

Ryne: I'm not sure if it's a very good idea.

Me: Why?

Ryne: Because as soon as they build them the Russians are just going to knock them down again.

Me (with concered look on my face): Bud, the Russians didn't knock down the twin towers.

Ryne: Oh yea, I meant the Africans.

I promise we had a history lesson and he was set straight.

Notice anything missing?

We just might be getting this baby home on MONDAY!!!

Baby Sam

Here's a short video of Sam trying to open his eyes. Be aware, you can see his chest opening and his heart pumping if that sort of thing bothers you.

one week and four days!!

Here he is at nearly 37 weeks. This will be the last sonogram they do before the big day. We got to watch him licking his hand during the sonogram. It was very funny I've never seen anything like that before. They are estimating he will be at least 9 pounds. We are getting very excited to meet him.

Scratch That

I got a call from the Dr. today and there has been a change of plans. They have rescheduled the C-section for June 21st. Hooray!!

The End is Near

We got some fun news today. We will be having this baby on June 27th. We cannot wait!

(not so) little man

We went to the doctor today and baby looks good. With 10 weeks left to go he's already weighing in at 4 pounds. No wonder I look the way I do and feel the way I do. This baby could be LARGE! And, no, we still don't have a name. But look at his cute smile.

He looks like he belongs to us

We think he's pretty cute. Kate thinks it looks creepy but I don't agree.

We're having a .....................

BOY!!!!

Moms of multiples are freaks of nature

My sister told me about this video and then my sister in law posted it on facebook. It's hillarious and I have been asked each and everyone of these questions.

Do you see what I see?

After a looooooooooooong (9 year) hiatus we are thrilled to announce there will be a new baby Karpowitz!

Boys have a one track mind

We were all in the car the other day and Kate says, "I think it's weird that a boy fertilizes a mom's egg. But what I really don't get is how Dad fertilized your egg."

Mom: Well when we get home I will explain that to you.

Emma: When you explain it to her you can also explain it me!

Mom: Fine Emma I'll explain it to you too.

Ryne: And, when you explain it to them Dad and I will watch transformers.

Emma's birthday wishes

"No more grey mornings, I think I'd rather die"

I listened to this song today while I was cleaning. I loved my time in Kansas, dear friends and family so close. But, sheesh the winters were hard for me. I woke up today in sunny Southern Nevada and I am grateful for the sun the blue skies and the lovely temperatures. Even in the 120 degree summers.

p.s. Guess who's concert I get to go to in July.
