Boy, Boy, Boy, and...

Yep, three boys and counting. We're expecting our fourth, though the jury is still out on whether we'll remain Barb and the boys or if we'll add a little princess to the mix. I'm due around the end of September (26th for those of you who like dates). The first trimester has been less than comfortable, but I think the nausea is lifting a bit and am hopeful that it will leave in the next couple weeks. In the meantime we're enjoying the boys and bracing for the insanity of adding a fourth!

Gabe's favorite self-taught trick.

Ian's tongue is still out of his mouth a good portion of the time...its like his own little facial expression.

The beauty of living on the ground level is having a patio for a hair cutting studio! Ian is actually one of my better customers. Of course it was a beautiful day to be outside.

Drew was very proud of his bucket and eggs...unfortunately it was wintery cold for the hunt. We actually had snow here on Easter, which I learned is unusual in Missouri. Not so strange for Colorado, so we rolled with it.

Hey Barb!
Congrats!!! I was just talking to someone about our conversation this summer when you said you'd like to have another, and that you'd like 'em to be close together. I'm pregnant with a little girl and due August 1 (I think that's about what you predicted...you're good!!!). I just started feeling decent the last few weeks...Keep in touch!!!! I miss you!
Love, Melanee

Hi Barb--

Mel told me you were pregnant again and so I followed the link from Kristina's blog to yours...ahh...the internet. Congratulations! I'm glad you're feeling better, too! I think we're tracking each other--we have three boys and are due to have another (???) at the beginning of September. After this you're on your own, though! Four is such a nice even number--Tad (6) is already angling for # 5, but we keep dashing his hopes. Hope you are well--your boys are so cute!
Love, Kendra H

Congrats Barb - There really seems to be a pattern for boys, maybe this little one will surprise us all:) When are you due? Miss you friend!

Yippee! I'm so glad to see it in writing. I don't know, I'm kind of holding out for a girl, even though it is a little against the odds. :) Someone just told me that with every child that is the same gender as the others, your chances of having the opposite gender decreases! whew! So glad you blaze these trails. :)

Hey y'all! I know I'm a bit late in posting, but Congratulations!! I am kind of hopeful for a girl for you all, but dang if she won't be spoiled and protected being the youngest of 3 brothers! Glad to see you were finally able to get a picture of all 3 boys actually looking at the camera at the same time!
