The Sedgwick's

So I had a few friends recommend starting a blog and so here I go. It has been a busy year for our family and it is only going to get crazier.

Rich is flying for Skywest and loves it. We love it because he is home a lot. He wants to upgrade to captain but I am in no hurry. It is nice having him around and what a huge help he is. We are adding a bedroom to our basement and he is doing a lot of the work. I think we are outgrowing this house with another baby on the way.

Then there is Piper. Piper is Piper. She keeps us moving and can't stand not having plans each day. She is in preschool, dance and wants to start the violin and sewing. She loves lunch at Hires with her mimi and aunts and play dates with her friends and cousin JD. She is developing that 5 year old attitude and she thinks she is the boss. I guess Rich and I haven't helped much considering neither of us like to make decisions. So many of our decisions are made by Piper. When it comes down to it, I couldn't do it without Piper. She is so helpful and mature and it is nice to have another little mother around the home.

Oh Thayne. What a riot he has turned out to be. We love his deep voice and especially when he sings I am a child of God or Jesus wants me for a sunbeam. Two is one of my favorite ages. I love how innocently funny he is. I have to admit, he and Micah are a handful when they join forces. They are into the kitty liter and cat food. They love to make messes and laugh at us whenever we try to discipline. Thayne loves his playgroup and loves nursery. I hope he will love preschool next year. I know I can't wait. Thayne loves to cuddle and he gives great kisses.

Micah - what can I say. He is our tough little boy. He is all boy! Which is nice considering Thayne likes girl clothes. Micah doesn't talk much but he does say shoes. It is appropriate considering he has had flip flops on his hands since birth and the first thing he goes for in the morning after his bottle, binkie and blankets are his shoes. He also says DON"T. Do you think he has heard that a few times? He is definitely our most spirited and doesn't want to be told anything. I guess I should take my doctor's recommendation and buy the book SOS for parents. We love him though and his big blue eyes make us smile

I am so grateful that I am a wife and a mom. I am 14 weeks pregnant and can't believe I have so many more to go. It is weird to think this is it but this is it, we are stopping at four. It is also fun to think that our family will be complete. Piper naturally is hoping for a sister and the boys don't seem to care. I think three boys might send me over the edge but like everyone says, "the most important thing is that the baby is healthy." I am the second counselor in our relief society and love my calling. Life is busy but I am glad. I couldn't sit around too much either.

We are truly blessed and things are good,
