Wanna know what 'Snow' sounds like?

While driving home the other day, while flipping through radio stations, I stopped to listen to "Remember When" by Alan Jackson.

After pausing to listen to it, Max sweetly asked "What kind of music is this?"

"Country," I said. "Do you like it?"

"Yeah" and quietly listened to the rest of it.

When we got home, I played the song, from the beginning for Otto and Max while we ate lunch. A few moments into the beginning of the song, when there's music but no words playing, Max smiled and said, "It sounds like snow."

Something I wouldn't have come up with myself, but I absolutely agree.

Outnumbered

Outnumbered. That's the 1st comment I get from most everyone who learns that we are expecting our 3rd kid in October. Then comes the "hat trick," "zone vs man on man," etc comments.

As I've progressed through my 3rd pregnancy, it's hit me that the questions people ask, while totally different than during my 1st pregnancy (when are you due, will you find out the sex, what will the nursery look like, have you bought a lot of things yet, where are you registered, etc) are just as predictable!

So here, to answer the most popular questions:
Is it another boy?
- Nope, it's a girl this time
Are you moving to a bigger house?
- Nope, we love our house and neighborhood
Do the kids have to share a room?
- Yes, the boys are sharing a room (& so far they are enjoying it)
You only have one bathroom?
- Yes, but now it's got two sinks!!!
Will you need to get a bigger car?
- Nope, I was able to fit 3 car-seats across in the 4Runner
- Not sure about the Jetta, though

Joe and I couldn't feel more blessed (& yes, at times overwhelmed) to be outnumbered!
