Capes and Curls

Lily thought it would be a great idea to use blankies as capes. Sadie went along with the idea because she is always trying to be like Lily these days. Here are a couple pictures of our super heros.




After bathtime, Matt and I always comment on how curly Sadie's hair gets and apparently Lily is a little jealous. The other night after her bath she asked me to put curls in her hair. I have some small curlers that I put in and she just loved the result.

Big Sisters

We are very excited to announce that Lily and Sadie are both going to be big sisters! Baby Staal #3 will arrive sometime on or around October 11, 2009. I'll try to answer some of the inevitable questions:
Do we hope for a boy this time? We think it would be great to have a boy but we would be just as excited to have another girl.
Are we going to find out the gender? Nope, not this time. We really liked being surprised better.
How are you feeling? I'm starting to feel a little better this week. I have been pretty sick so I'm glad to be almost done with that part.
How far along are you? 11 weeks. I had my doctors appointment today and she said everything looked great and right on for the due date. (For us that is a surprise.....I have always had to have an ultrasound to figure out how far along I am). I was also able to hear the little heart beat today, which is one of the coolest sounds ever.
How far apart will Sadie and the baby be? 22 months, the same as Lily and Sadie.

If you have other questions I'd be happy to answer them, these are just a couple that I've been asked recently :) Lily is very excited to have a baby brother or sister. For about a week she would ask me if the baby was coming today, but that has stopped now. She is playing with her baby dolls more now and is even showing more interest in Sadie, so I think that is a good thing. Sadie has no idea what is going on, but she is enjoying the extra attention from Lily.

The Park

Saturday afternoon we met our friends the Kidds at a local park. Brady brought a soccer ball and was nice enough to share with our girls. It was good to get out in the fresh air.

An Evening with Friends

Tonight our friends, the Littles and the Kidds, came over for a little quality time and some food. With six kids running/crawling around, there was a lot of activity and a lot of fun. We had a lot of fun just spending time together. Here are some pictures from our evening.

Everyone looking at the camera!

Amazing Photos

Our good friend Beth has her own photography business, Ruby Lu Photography, and we had her take some pictures of Lily this past Saturday. Here are some of our favorites.



She took this great picture of Sadie too.

Thanks again Beth!
