Happy Valentine's Day!

 The kids made a Valentine for our contractor, who at times, is like part of our family-hearing the AM screaming and all:)

 Julian had a sweet 3 year old class party

 After school we went with some friends from Hampton Elementary to deliver Valentines to residents of a local nursing home.

We're growing by two feet!

We are expecting another little Semesky-due July 8th, 2017!

 We tried to have the boys guess by giving them these shirts...it didn't work. We gave them the sonogram picture and Andrew picked up on it pretty quickly after that-and they all want a BOY! Actually, Andrew says he wants a girl, but he thinks it will be a boy!

 The baby would NOT cooperate during our anatomy scan (not that we wanted to find out!) so I got to go back a few weeks later for another. Everything looks great so far!

As I did when pregnant with Julian, people like to say whatever they wish...
1-The first person commented (at the gym-a woman), at 14 weeks-you are expecting! Congrats!
2-A man, around 19/20 weeks-my wife didn't show until the end either...not there yet buddy..
3-Deli counter man told me a girl, and thought I was due in May:)
4-Another lady at the gym that is not fluent in English told me a girl (and I think it was because I wasn't "bonita" any longer...)
5-"are you going to be able to work out your entire pregnancy? You are pretty big for only 20 weeks"
6-3 people have asked if I was sure there weren't twins in there...
7-Congratulations...I guess ( a male neighbor)
8-A woman that works at the childcare in the gym said, so, I remember you and your husband saying you may want another (I was prob about 16 weeks), and I said, oh, I am pregnant-she said-We knew it, we just couldn't ask...

I'll continue my crazy list as I get the crazy comments!!

Happy #4 J-Man

This goofy gus is 4!?!?!? 

We had Julian's birthday party a few days early at Rebounders Gymnastics (or 'Nastix') because he loves it so!

 He had such a fun time jumping, obstacle-coursing and bouncing with his buddies that HE chose!

The themes that the kids pick almost always crack me up-because they aren't even interested in them! Julian doesn't do anything with TMNT, but that is what he asked for this year!?

Birthday Morning!

                                     And night...it was a whirlwind 10 day birthday celebration. He was sick the night before his birthday so he didn't go to school, so he celebrated there a few days later!

At 4, Julian 

~LOVES to sing. He definitely sings more than either of the other two boys did. He has most songs memorized and you'll just hear him in the backseat singing along

~looks at/recites/talks about books 24/7

~is the best snuggler in town and ask Chris or I to snuggle almost everyday

~adds -ed to most words and it is amazing, I can't correct it yet

~is STILL an early riser (like 5:04 is his internal alarm clock 5/7 days of the week)

~asks A LOT of questions, but has usually thought them through and pondering them...and likes to "tease you" when he knows he said something hurtful or silly

~loves school and lunch bunch (and is obsessed with his buddy Noah at school)

~wants to do any sport his brothers are doing and asks me daily when he will do whichever one he isn't currently doing

~can regroup when he knows he needs to. Since he stopped napping almost two years ago, when he needs to relax he heads up to his bedroom and turns his music on and closes his door (hello teenager?!) Sometimes at my suggesting, but sometimes on his own

~loves Pokemon and Foosball (I blame the first on older brothers)

At his 4 year check up Julian was 39.5" and 35.2lbs. You wouldn't ever know our children are BOTTOMLESS! He got two shots and just said-ouch?!? 

Happy Birthday Love Bug! We love you!
