Baby #3


We are so excited to announce baby #3 will be joining our family around September 12th!  And, baby #3 is a GIRL!!  
After having Kinley, Tim and I both felt we were pretty good with two kids.  But, as time went on, we decided just one more little one to love on would be perfect!  I actually ended up getting pregnant right away, which was a big surprise since Kinely took 2 years to make!  However, that pregnancy ended in a miscarriage.  I told Tim I would only try one more time, I was not sure I could handle another miscarriage.  Well, to our surprise again, I ended up pregnant about 3 weeks later.  We went to an early ultrasound to see how far along I was, and the news was not good.  There was no heartbeat, and the sack was showing big enough to where a heartbeat should be detected.  So, the doctor told us this pregnancy was going to end in a miscarriage again, and that we should get ready for the worst.  It was horrible.  We mourned the loss of this baby, and just waited.  A week later I went to another ultrasound and as soon as they turned the machine on I saw a little flashing!  I could not believe there was actually a heartbeat there!  What a miracle!!  It was so wonderful going home and telling Tim there was a little one in there, and they were hanging on!
Having three kids sound somewhat intimidating, but hopefully we can handle it.  At the ultrasound today we were able to tell it was a girl, but not much else.  I go back next week for another one, so hopefully we get some better pictures then!

Day Two

Promenade in Brooklyn

Brooklyn Bridge!  Beautiful walk!







Reflecting Pool at 9/11


Carter learned of 9/11 for the first time today.  He doesn't understand much of what we told him, but one day he will know just how much it changed all our lives.


Riding the Staten Island Ferry!



Hanging out at Wall Street, where George Washington once stood!

See, we really did survive the Subway!

What an awesome little trip we had!  The kids were amazing, and everyone had a great time!  Now on to moving!

Bryant Park
Happy to be headed back on the Subway to the car.  After a long day we headed to the hotel in Yonkers for some swimming and a little quiet time.  We decided to just bring a cot for Kinley to see is she could handle not being in a crib.  Big mistake!  She was up for hours walking around the room raising cane!  I kept having a little one coming up to my face kissing me saying "Goodnight Mommy, Goodnight Mommy!"  I finally found her passed out on the floor in the morning.  Poor baby!



Eating and Walking

This little boy who doesn't like cake scarfed down the hole thing!


Showed up to check out the amazing St. Patrick's Cathedral.  It unfortunately was under construction, and you could not see anything!  Even the outside of the building was covered.  It was sad.  So, the kids grabbed their palms from the palm service and went on walking.

Walking towards Rockefeller!
