It's a....

GIRL!

We are so excited to announce that we are having a daughter and Cole's getting a baby sister! Though, Ben did mention to me that he is super nervous to have a girl. It's pretty cute. He's worried that since Cole's so cute and he can be so easily manipulated by him, he won't know what to even do with a little girl. I'm sure she'll have him wrapped around her little finger in no time! I'm more worried about the amount of money we'll be spending on cute outfits and dance classes :)

Other than the fact that we now know the gender, more importantly, we also know that she looks perfect so far. She has all body parts and her organs look fabulous. She was quite the ham for the camera and was moving around like crazy today. She's measuring 2 days behind, though I already knew my due date was more on May 9th rather than May 7th and so far she weighs 15oz.
Here are some of baby girl's first pictures. And, no, she doesn't have a name yet, and she won't until we meet her!

She's smiling...so cute!

We're finally sure she's a girl!

Little foot

I think this picture is so funny.
There are a lot of limbs in one small place!

Ho, Ho, Home to Spokane!

After Thanksgiving, we had a crazy 2 days to get ready before heading home to Spokane for the month of December. We've had a lot of fun getting ready for the holidays with Gia, Gipa, Auntie Jojo and everyone else we've seen so far.
We've been so busy! We flew into Portland and had a quick visit with Auntie Sarah, Uncle Jesse, and Owen Altig and of course Auntie Katie and Wade. Then we drove up to Seattle where we had a great lunch and visit with Auntie Kyndra. We then stayed the night at Aunt Holly and Uncle Tom's beautiful new house and played with the puppies! Cole had an even better time playing with his cousins and all of their toys though. Then we made it over to Spokane where we've been shopping, visiting, shopping, baking, shopping, playing, and shopping. We got to have breakfast with Santa at Gonzaga Prep (where Ben and I went to high school). I was a little nervous about how he'd handle Santa this year, but he practically jumped out of my arms and ran to him and just hopped up onto his lap. No worries there! Like I said, it's been busy, busy, but we're really looking forward to daddy joining us tomorrow!

"Cole, what does Santa say?" - Lindsay
"Presents!" - Cole's answer :)
"Um, no, he says, Ho Ho Ho, Merry Christmas!" - Lindsay

Playing in the snow with Auntie Jo Jo

Snow is fun!

Gia, I'm not doing anything to hurt your tree!

Hmmm, he's looking a little suspicious here...

Hi Puppies!

It's a good thing we live in Hawaii, or we probably would
have to take one of these
