New baby #5 at RBC

Congrats to the Knudsen family on the arrival of their newest son. Beth was scheduled for an induction next Tuesday, but after Beth was put through the ringers at a baby shower last night (she had to walk/waddle w/a water balloon between her legs from one end of a yard to the other....as did the other 4 pregnant ladies and all of the other non-pregnant ladies), the baby could wait no more. Only 4 more to go, that we know of!

A Few Pics....

What happens when you allow a 1.5 year old to hold a baggie newly filled with cheerios/kix....













COSI with daddy.
I bet you didn't know the boys went to Cairo that day!











COSI slide fun.

After 3 hours at the Arts Festival and 5 min. in the car.......(anybody wondering what happened to the driver/picture taker?)





Couple of updates:
Austin is making an effort to move his tricycle by using the pedals after seeing his friend Jack from church riding his own big boy bike. Austin knows there is a big boy bike in our shed that he can ride when he is big enough and can peddle really good.

Justin is cutting his left upper and lower canines. They started coming through at the end of May. 4 more molars to go!

New baby is allowed to make an appearance anytime in July, so say the midwives. Possibly even late June depending on their general consensus. However, all 3 birthing tubs are currently out, so someone has to have a baby before I need it or it will be into my own bathtub, and after using a birthing tub twice, that doesn't sound very comfy!

Some interesting trends (and you know how Karen likes trends)....on Matt's side of the family they have had 3 new babies this year, all girls. At our church, we have had 4 new babies born this year, with 3 more due in July (me included), 1 in Sept., and one in Oct. All but 1 of the babies have been born/will be born to mom's w/other children. All of them have had or will have the opposite of what they had last (with the exception of the Oct. baby because they haven't found out the sex yet). So, based on both of those trends, we should be having a girl. However, I never really fit into trends well, no matter how hard I tried :)
