Busy month

This past month has been a whirlwind of emotions with all that has been going on. We had a couple visitors come for the weekend so that has been of course... WONDERFUL! Nick's cousin Nicole came from San Fransico for a couple days. And then this past weekend our great friend Lynn, from Iowa came for the weekend. They have helped me SO much with everything around the house, and just being here. My dad passed away on Oct. 9th and I have been in AZ since the 10th. I was very fortunate to get to visit there last month. He wasn't feeling the greatest and was just in terrible pain all day, everyday. He had a heart attack and the Lord called him home on the 9th. I find comfort in knowing that there is NO pain in heaven. I miss him dearly but know that I will meet him again.
The exciting news is that we are excpecting baby #3 in May. Nick and I had our appt. yesterday and everything looked great. What a great thing to look forward to. I haven't been feeling the best...but hopefully I am near the end of that.
I hope everyone is doing well and is enjoying the fall weather. We think of each of you daily. LOVE YOU ALL!


Lynn is here!

Exciting Things at the Novotny's

We have had an exciting last couple of days. Lucy had a soccer game on Sunday and they were playing boys. Of course...the boys were winning 14-0. Anyway- the last couple minutes left Lucy scored her first goal. I wish I had my camera ready at that moment!! Her face was as bright as a Christmas tree!! We were all pretty excited about that.
Lincoln is all potty trained. He has been wearing big boy undies for the last 5 days and LOVES wearing them. He is SO proud of himself when he goes...as are we!
Lastnight...Lucy lost her second tooth. It has been loose for weeks now and every night we wiggle it a little more and check it to see if it's ready to be pulled. Well...lastnight it was! Nick pulled it out and the tooth fairy came. As we were getting ready for bed, Lucy asked if the American tooth fairy would bring as much as the german tooth fairy!! Well, she was generous but I must say...not as nice as that german tooth fairy!:)
Today is also my nephew's birhtday! He turns 9 and is such a handsome little dude! I always love to be with him! He can make anyone laugh and is full of energy. He is such a stud. We love you Alex and can't wait to see you again soon.
Hope everyone is enjoying their week~
