Fischer

I should've taken a camera. You would think he moved away and came back after a really long time. After two months of "homeschooling," Fischer went back to Riverside Prep today. He asked me about a month ago if he could go back, but we had to wait for the principal to respond because they had three weeks of Spring Break. So yesterday, we found out the great news that Fischer could go back and he started today. It was a great reunion for him and a few friends within the first ten minutes of arriving on campus. All I could hear were screams of "Fischer!" from all the girls, and once we got in the office, he was ransacked by a few... almost knocked down by the smallest one! I didn't know he had his own fan club :-) It was cute to see his painted-on smile. He was so happy to be back, he even RAN to his first class, LOL. Too funny. I guess he can't say he doesn't like school!

Our 5th Baby

We had our ultrasound for baby #5 yesterday. She is so adorable already... I know, how can we tell right? She was playing peek-a-boo! :) She had her face to the "camera" the whole time and wouldn't give us any good profile pics, but it's definitely a girl. We have decided to name her Annie.

This is how we came up with it: we're always throwing around names and one day Barry said Anne... I said, how about "Annie", so it matches the other two girls ending in -ee sounds. He said, "yeah, maybe." We did this sort of thing ALL the time, so it wasn't any different this day.

A few days later I was reading a book and the girl's name was Annie. A few days after that I was reading the Ensign and there were two Annie's. Every time this happened, I knew that her name was supposed to be Annie. Then, we went to the temple and I did proxy work for a woman named Annie. That was when I knew for sure. We prayed at the temple and I continued receiving revelations about her name. So there was no doubt.

Somehow, I still thought I might have a boy! LOL I'm so silly! Yesterday's knowledge confirmed that the Lord is in charge and he told me all along I was having a girl.

So, little Annie, we know you were waiting for us and we are so excited to become your parents. It always seems that through adversity comes faith and strength, and we are blessed by this opportunity. We love you already and can't wait to meet you in September.
