Sparky

Since we are not finding out the sex of the baby we are refering to it as Sparky. This of course is what Jacob wants to name the baby. I told him we will call the baby Sparky while it is in mom's belly and he is super excited! Not much going on with pregnancy, feeling much better now that I'm in my second trimester. I actually felt the baby move this week which of course is the greatest feeling in the world. My 20 week ultrasound is Feburary
7th. We're taking the kids with us so we can all see "our" baby!!

Roomies

Make room for baby, Jacob and Anna share a room now!! Our initial plan was to move Anna into Jacob's room in May once Jacob was out of school with enough time to adjust before the baby comes in June. Change in plans. Over Christmas break Jacob had his first sleepover with his buddy Ty at our house. Ever since Anna has wanted to sleep in Jacob's room with him. So, we gave it a shot and now she's in there every night! It is super cute and they both love it. After Christmas all the toys moved out of the bedrooms and into the basement. Jacob is in a twin bed and Anna is in a toddler bed. I can hear them talking and giggling over the monitor before they fall asleep each night. Jacob has started tucking Anna in every night which is ridiculously sweet. He gets her all 3 of her blankies, covers her with all 4 of her blankets then tells her goodnight and gives her a kiss. Melts my heart. They love each other and are so close. With that closeness there is of course PLENTY of fighting but they are definitely best buddies. I cannot believe how old they are getting. Next year Jacob will start kindergarden and Anna will start preschool. They will do great and love it, mom on the other hand is going to be a wreck!! Thank goodness "Sparky" will be here by then to keep me busy :)

Sanders kids = Crazy kids

Anna was singing a made up song wearing sunglasses and an upside down crown. Jacob thought he was hilarious because he was getting his bottom in the video :)
