I haven't taken a lot of pictures lately. I will try to get on that. I just wanted to post something that wasn't so depressing! We took Savannah to the Endocronologist on Wednesday and the good news is that her cyst is not effecting her pituitary gland and we have nothing to worry about in that area of her brain. Yay! An easy appointment! Now we just have to monitor the great amount of fluid that is sitting in the back of her brain, but it is stable for now. :)
The boys started practicing soccer 2 weeks ago and had their first game on Saturday. I should have taken pictures of that but during Blake's game Landen got his first bee sting (traumatic) and during Landen's game I was talking too much! We have been with the same players on Landen's team for almost 2 years now (give and take a few) so it is fun to catch up every season. The boys did awesome and really had fun. We usually have them on the same team but Landen is in U8 this year and it is a bit more intense. We decided to have Blake play 1 year up instead of 2 and he is doing great. What does this mean for us? Jeb is coaching 2 separate teams! Arghhh! Every Tuesday and Thursday the boys have 2 hours of practice instead of 1 because they stay for each other's practices. We haul all of our crap around to two different games every Saturday. I know a lot of families have it worse, but last season was so nice to deal with just one team. Oh well, I really need to get used to my soccer life. :)
As for me, the baby should be coming so soon. It is very uncomfortable at this stage of course, but I don't mind moments like yesterday....I was making dinner and my ankles started to swell so Jeb made me sit down, put my feet up and took over. He then took all of the kids on a Sunday bike ride (yes, we think it is a good family activity on Sunday :)) and came home and put them to bed. It was nice. Hopefully, our new unnamed addition will come soon but not too soon. My brother, Adam gets married to Erin on Friday so I am trying to hold out for my mom! :) I would really like her here for the kids while I am in the hospital. We have all kind of taken turns needing her around lately. She is such a great Mom! I hope we don't run her ragged.
Jeb and Savannah are doing great. Savannah loves soccer practice because there is a playground right next to the field this year. She freaks if I don't let her stay and play. She calls the playground "soccer practice" and begs to go to the "soccer practice" the whole car ride over. :) Jeb is playing softball with the ward late Monday nights, indoor soccer late Tuesday nights, outdoor pickup games early Saturday mornings, serving as Education director on the soccer board, coaching the boys T and Th, and leading our ward choir on Sundays....oh, and occasionally he works. He is a busy guy during the fall season! He is also a huge Michigan football fan so he will watch a few of those games (he lived in Michigan before he moved to Ohio).
Well, this is all pre-4th baby life for us! We will see how it all plays out over the next couple weeks. I will try to get more pictures added so I won't ramble so much!:)

Sounds so busy , but fun! Glad the MRI went well, and good luck with the arrival of baby #4!
And I thought we were busy! You guys win! I'll cross my fingers that you and unnamed baby hold off until after the wedding!
Yeah, I am so glad that she is doing well. I am so excited for you. Time is tickin! What a nice husband Jeb is (and busy too). Take care and good luck with everything in the next few days. I am thinking of you.
Hey there - so great to catch up through your blog. I had NO idea about Savannah - I'm glad that things are ok for now and you're able to breathe ;). What a scary, scary day. BTW, thank Jeb for me with his assistance trying to get K-squared into soccer. I would have done it, except the only way was for me to act as assistant coach for K2's team and then K1 would play in the afternoons and she would play in the mornings and I would have to deal with both, plus coach, all while B is working on Saturdays. So in the end I decided I would be biting off more than I can chew. But... we'll try next fall! :)
Yeah for Savannah and your family. Also, if you ever need a break while the boys are at school, we'd love to have Savannah over. I'll check in with you when the baby comes. Good luck with picking a name. So much fun! We are so excited to meet the little guy. Here's wishin' for Saturday! Take care. Em:)
Amazing what can happen in a month without being on my blog! I am so sorry about the shocking news with Savannah but so relieved that all is well! I feel bad I am just finding out and that we haven't seemed to get a hold of each other! I definitely need to talk to you and find out more before your baby comes!! I can't believe it is almost here. You guys are in my prayers. I know all will be well! You deserve more than the best!
Wow, and here I was just thinking that my life couldn't get any busier...I don't even have the element of soccor mom. Great now I'm stressed for next year:) You guys sounds like you're doing awesome with happy kids. Can't believe your baby is due in 6DAYS!! Good luck. We love you!
