This weekend, we had a chance to rearrange the downstairs a bit, and the kids now have an official playroom. Grace has a "changing station" for her babies and is putting it to good use. She took a bath last night and "Iris", her water baby, took a bath with her. I think Iris used more of the shampoo bottle than Grace did, but they both smell squeaky clean. Grace has also been busy creating many works of art with paint, markers, crayons, and whatever else she can find. Grace also plays the Wii. Her favorite games are Disney Sing It and golfing with Daddy. She is also spending much of her time reading, which is awesome!

We'd like to say that Ben has been reading too, but his interests lie elsewhere. He has playing Bakugan, Battleship, Connect Four, and of course, the Wii. His favorite game is Mario Sluggers. His IDog doesn't stop dancing...or making noise for that matter. Thank you to everyone for such a wonderful Christmas. The kids are really enjoying their new things.

Brandon spent yesterday refinishing a glider and painting it black to match the baby's room. We also had a good time registering at BabiesRUs. Wow, have things changed since Grace was a baby. We must have spent hours there! We ran into a guy that Brandon went to high school with and they are expecting their first child. It felt strange to tell him we were expecting our third! We were not planning to register, but we gave away all of our baby stuff from Grace and Ben, and Schwegler will be giving Julie a shower when the baby comes. So much to do, and so much to think about! Less than 3 months to go!
