Big Day

Today was a big day for our family! Late this afternoon, Karen and I went for our 2nd Dr's visit. Everthing looks good and the baby has grown tremendously. We had an ultrasound (now 12 weeks) and got to see the heartbeat again. Now before you look too closely at the picture (if you haven't already), don't freak out. It looks a bit skeletal, but that's normal. On the left side of the pic you can see its head with two eye sockets looking at you. The light area is its smile (ok, just a jaw at this point). Just to the right, you'll see a hand waving! What a friendly child already!


After the appointment, we headed home for dinner. Following dinner, Karen and I took Chase to an Open House for his pre-school. He'll start at Star of Bethlehem Christian School on Monday, attending Mondays, Wednesdays, & Fridays from 9 - 12. This will be his first year.

So on the same day, we saw our new baby's face and took our oldest to his first night at school! It really makes us think about how fast the time goes by!

It is amazing how fast they grow up. It seems like yesterday we were putting Darlene on the kindergarten bus and now she is a sophomore!

It was yesterday when we brought Brian home and passed him all around. And Yes I am sorry that the Castaldi girls got to go first.
