Everyday is Earth Day

Happy Earth Day readers! Hope you are able to get out and enjoy our spring weather today. Brady and I were able to participate in Terre Haute's Earth Day Festival last Saturday tabling a booth for HEC. There was a great turn out at this event. This Saturday is Indy's Earth Day Fest for those who live around here. As Brady's likes to say "Earth Day is everyday at the Hansel's." We try but could always do better. We got a romper for the baby that says "Plant a Tree for Me"! Spread the green love people....

Bring on the Blue

Well, looks like we're going to be seeing a lot of blue in our future (which happens to be one of my favorite colors) because Tuesday we found out that we're having a boy. The ultrasound was amazing-like nothing we had ever seen-we just watched in wonderment as the tech described what she was seeing. To celebrate we went to Burlington and Baby's R Us! Talk about baby over stimulation! We couldn't even pick out one little outfit there was so much to choose from. Then we ate at Olive Garden-one of our favs. Had an appointment with the midwife yesterday and she went over the results of the ultrasound and everything looked normal so we are very thankful that a healthy baby is growing.

Growth

Well, these days my tummy seems to be growing faster than our garden as you can see from these pics (don't mind the self portrait i took with the auto setting). Next week will be five months and we also hope to find out the sex during the ultrasound. With all the aches and pains, and ups and downs of pregnancy I've been learning to look to our Creator for strength and encouragement-thanks be to God the source of all life and hope. Happy Easter.
