I gave Kate some stickers with our old address on them to play with. Paper, however, wasn't good enough and thought her dad was the best substitute.
She thought it was pretty great. He was so nice about it too. Even when it came to pulling them off his legs. Which look pretty painful!
Then I had this great idea one hot and humid day to build a fort for Kate in our bed room. I started with just a simple sheet, a couple of hair clips, and a chair. Once Chris rested his head in my mock fort his mind suddenly began to flood with images of childhood and building real forts.
We then ended up with a few blankets, an air mattress, and fancy front door that was the only entrance. It was so wonderful we picnicked in there.
Kate thought it was so great. It was really fun to lay in there and reminisce about the old times when I used to build forts with my brother and sister. As soon as you lay down and look up you can't help but have all those fun feelings come flooding back. Thanks Hun for being such a great dad. I know we girls can be difficult sometimes but we appreciate you patience and the subtle eye rolls you give us.
Wish us luck! Tomorrow we go in to have our ultrasound. We are so excited and hope the baby will cooperate. I am just hoping everything is looking good. I am thinking it is a boy simply because this pregnancy is so different from Kate. I am less hormonal in every way. I think Chris is enjoying this one much more because of that. Chris says he doesn't have any idea. With Kate he was the only one who said she was a girl and even when they weren't sure during the ultrasound with her, he still knew it was a girl. It is too bad he isn't getting that clear channeling this time. We'll keep you posted.

Laurin, I love these pictures. Kate is such a funny girl! Love the fort, too. I've never seen a fancier one, I must say. Ours were much simpler for sure (no boys in my family!) Good job, Chris!
