A Little More Fun

I know not many people read this blog and probably even less people leave comments let alone read the comments other people leave. Well, my friend Kristina made a comment on my last post saying she thought the surprise would be that I was pregnant, while it wasn't the suprise for that post, it is for this one!

In true Robbie and Lindsay fashion, we kept our little secret for a long time, so I'll actually already be halfway done by next week!

We went in for our ultra sound this last Thursday and found out our little family is going to add more ribbons, hair bows and dresses to the mix! We're having another little girl, so the pink stripes get to stay up in the baby's room, hooray for not repainting!

We had been asking McKinley if she wanted a brother or sister and 98% of the time she said "bwotha". Lucky for us, she doesn't really know what that means yet! Over the last few days she has become very good at saying "I'm haveen a sista!". We're really excited. Lima Bean the Sequel will be here in November.

We haven't really begun the name hunt, it's something we put off until we knew the gender, but we're excited to find a name that fits this little girl as well as McKinley's name fits her!

Surprise!

I love surprises...well good ones at least...and last night was a really fun surprise!

McKinley and I got home and were enjoying ourselves out on porch in the warm air eating blueberries and grapes while we watched the neighbor boy do some tricks on his skateboard.

I had a meeting to go to, so I called Robbie to see when he would be home and he said he was just pulling into the driveway. McKinley got excited when she heard him say that, so we got off the porch, ran through the house and went to the garage, but it was empty.

So, we opened the garage door and there was Robbie, with his car parked in the dirt, pulling a bike out of the back seat. I've seen him pull his bike out of his car multiple times, so I didn't think anything of is at first, until I noticed the colors were off...that wasn't his bike. Here comes the surprise...it was a new bike for me!

I was so excited! I've been riding the same bike for about 15 years now. It's a great bike, but it's getting a little old and since I don't mountain bike anyway, Robbie decided it was time for a new one. I immediately took it out for a ride!

I LOVE my new bike. It's black and white and they call it hybrid because it's not a road bike or a mountain bike, it's sort of in between. When I rode for a bit last night before my meeting it was amazing...it's so easy to ride I could ride it for hours I'm sure! I swear it practically rides itself and I'm just there to hang out!

Thanks Robbie for such an awesome gift. I'm excited to take it out on a family bike ride!
