#1 The change of teeth. Yep Rachel has lost not one, but two teeth in the last 3 weeks. We asked her if she was going to put them under her pillow for the tooth fairy...she told us that she wanted to keep her teeth & get the money for them. Jesse explained that the tooth fairy would lose her job if she did that, so Rachel decided that she already has enough money, and that she just wants to keep them. So I guess I don't get to be a tooth fairy anytime soon. :(
#2 The change of hair. So as most of you know Isaac has beautiful hair. It's very soft, and he has the best curls ever. Well, they've been getting really long lately, and we've been debating on what to do. He used to sit real still while we did his hair, but not so much lately. & it was getting to the point of having to brush it out at least twice a day or the knots would be impossible to get out. Jesse wanted to put it in locs...I thought he was too young for this.
So Jesse took him to the barber and brought him home like this.
yes, i cried. I actually really like it now, it was just really weird, he looks so different. He seems to love it though...he seriously has 5 times the energy now. I don't know if it was the weight of the hair or just that it made him so hot before, but whatever it is it's given him lots and lots of energy.
#3 Rachel starts Kindergarten. I can't believe that my daughter is in kindergarten. I have to admit this was a lot harder then I thought. I remember last year when she started preschool, and some of the moms would be freaking out & crying, and I just didn't understand. This year, I'm blaming my hormones, but I've cried. I actually didn't cry the day of, but I did before, and I did last night after hearing about how she had no one to sit with on the bus or at lunch. (so unlike my daughter) She usually has about 5 friends within the first 2 minutes of going into any store. It's just weird to see her going to such a big school (K-6th; 600 kids). I know she'll do great, but it's just weird to not have her with me all day.
#4 New Kitchen. Well not exactly a new kitchen, but at least new counter tops. Since we didn't have enough going on in out lives, we decided to replace the counter tops. Next up the floors! (erik you coming to help?!)

After:
So there's a quick update for you all about some of the things that have been going on with us. I have about 17 days left! We're still not ready...don't even have a name picked out for the little guy...Jesse wants a biblical name, I want something not too common. (please feel free to leave suggestions.)
And just to throw in a couple of more pics...here you go. :)

Amy,
It's good to read your update about everything. Your kitchen looks beautiful. I check here often to see how you are doing. I think Isaac's hair is adorable. Good luck with the next 17 days and beyond!
Oh my, he does look different but so adorable with his short hair and I loved all his curls. His eyes really show up now. Love the counter tops. wow. the color is fantastic with the yellow. Rachel so glad you like school. Know you will do great. Neat you get to keep your teeth. Love Grandma Gaylene
Hi to all. Rachel glad your school is going well and Isaac looks so different but is so cute with his hair short. It was darling the other way also. Was so good to see all of you and thanks again for a nice evening in July. Love Craig & Bernita
Love your new countertops!! They really change the whole look of the kitchen! Only a few more days left of your pregnancy. Isaac is going to have so much fun with his brother! It will be nice to have them so close in age!
Cute stories! I can't believe you are due so soon. As for names, I can't really help you out because we can't even come up with our own. Actually, we have a boy name, but if it is a girl we might just have to go with Lucy's suggestion of princess :)
That is a lot of changes...on top of waiting for the new baby...I'd be a basket case! Hang in there!!!!

Love the pics!! Rachel looks so old, and I can't believe she's already in kindergarten. Good luck soon giving birth... Keep the updates coming.
I can't believe how fast your kids change. It doesn't seem like we've been gone that long. Congratulations on your new addition. We can't wait to meet him! Love Ryan and Candice
