God Bless Patrick William!

I know I have a lot to update...we've been busy with swimming, Vacation Bible School, and most imporantly, Baby Tres....but this weekend we had a very special event!

On Sunday, Rob's Godson Patrick was baptised.  It was a great, beautiful day!!!!

Patrick taking in this whole "church" thing!!!  Check out his shamrock shoes...how cute are they????  Patrick really is one of the cutest babies in the world!!!!

This is probably the part where he was so excited, he pooped himself!!!!  ;)

The BIG moment!!!!

Abigail, Caitlin, and a little neighbor of B and Mo enjoying the show with snacks!!!!

The Glure-stroms!

Godfathers and Godchildren

Yesterday was a very special day for our family...but especially for Rob.  There is no greater honor in our eyes than being a Godparent and we take that serious!!!!  Rob has lots of plans for fishing, golf, and other things that only "boys" can do for him and Patrick in the future!

Our Daddy is the BEST!

Happy Father's Day to the BEST Dad and Husband in the World!!!  There isn't a Dad out there that works harder for his family...or spends better quality time with them.  I'm so lucky that he works so long all day, and then comes home and does so much for the girls.

Rob spent Father's Day doing what he loves best...spending time with his daughters!!!  The girls and Rob entered in the local fishing derby again this year.  It was Caitlin's first time fishing and she was very excited to get her own fishing pole.  The fish might not have been biting, but it was a great day!!!!

The fishing buddies!  The girls surprised Daddy with new shirts for Father's Day that said "Daddy's Sweetest Catch"...and they got him a new shirt for Father's Day that says "D.A.D.D.  Dad's Against Daughter's Dating."  I think the shirt will get a lot of use in the next 18 years!!!!

Caitlin's first time fishing....she's a natural!

So happy to be spending the morning with Daddy!!!

Happy Father's Day to the best Dad to our 2 1/2 kids!!!! ;)

Also, Happy Father's Day to all the great Dads and God-Father's in our lives!!!  We are so lucky and blessed to be surrounded by amazing men!!!   To My Dad, Rob's Dad, Uncle Al, Uncle Joe, and Uncle Brian...Thank you for all you do for us!!!! 

Flying Away

Abigail rode her 2-wheeler by herself for the first time this morning!!!!!

It's just a glimpse of our summer...I see lots of bike rides!!!

We also took the girls out to fly their kites from Easter for the first time this morning.  Basically, it was mommy and daddy running around like crazy people.....but we did manage to get the kite in the air once (and by we, I mean Beth...even though Rob "claims" to be an expert kite flyer from his youth...he blames the kite...but I didn't seem to have any problem....)

This sums up our kite flying day...Caitlin tangled up in the string!!!!

Fun start to our Saturday...and it's only going up from here because the kids are packing up and heading to Grandma and Grandpas...and we are headed down to Wrigley with my Julie and Joe, Kate, and her friend Josh, to see Brad Paisley!!!!!  Have a great Saturday, y'all!!!!

We're joining the club!!!!

These families all have 1 thing in common....

and we're joining the club!!!!

Save The Date

Raising 2 kids has been such a treat,

We're adding 1 more to make our family COMPLETE!

We don't know yet if it's a girl or a boy...

But save a date in December to meet our BUNDLE OF JOY!!!!!

Baby "Tres" due to arrive 12-12-12!!!!!

******************************************************************************

And the most important introduction....

Here is our little peanut!!!!  We are so in love already!!!!!

The Sweetest Story with the HAPPIEST ending!!!!!

13 weeks old today!

**********************************************************

And as all good things have "disclaimers"....here's mine...please don't say anything on Facebook yet!  We decided to put it out on the blog because people we know and love who are close to us read it, but we won't put anything on facebook for a while now!!!!!

Also, if you are SHOCKED...we thought it would be fun to surprise you on the blog since you have followed our family on it and we are sure you weren't expecting this... so if you didn't get a call or email ahead of time, don't be offended, it was our plan!!!!!!  ;)

And I have to say, we did a pretty great job of keeping it a secret till today!!!  As you might imagine, after our last loss, sharing the news is very nerve-wracking to me.  But we are 13 weeks and have passed the NT Scan at 12 weeks with a squirmy baby with 155 heartbeat...and are so excited!!!!

Abigail and Caitlin just found out this weekend and they have taken their "big sister" roles very serious...and are already negotiating bunk beds!  :)

SURPRISE!  :)  We feel beyond blessed and lucky!!!!!!
