Introducing....

A special delivery during the month of March! That's right, baby number four is cooking right now, but the real fun is that Diana and I are due just two days apart. March 19th is the date and we are excited.

Tonight we told the kids the special news. I had made some chocolate pudding for dessert and stuck little plastic babies in the kids pudding. While they were eating they found the treasure, but couldn't figure out why anyone would put a plastic baby in someone else's food. It took some convincing, but they finally understood that was my way of saying, "Mommy is having a baby!"

$20.00 Richer

Macy has been collecting and saving aluminum cans for the last 2 1/2 months, and Saturday we took her stash to the recycling center to cash them in. She had 40 pounds of cans for which they paid her $20.00. She was so excited to have that much money that it was hard for her to quit smiling.

She has had several neighbors involved in helping collect the cans. One neighbor has even set up a box at his work for his co-workers to place their empty cans. We opened up a savings account for all 3 kids so they can start saving for college. Macy immediately knew where her money was going. She said, "This is going right to my savings!"
