Dance Recital, Seaside Adventure & Baby!!!

Well, it's been a few months since I have updated our blog. Now, it hasn't been for lack of things going on. We have been busy! The girls had their big dance recital at the end of May. They were so much fun to watch! We were so happy that Grandma and Papa Putman were able to attend. We were so proud of them! Especially our little Lindsey! At Christmas time, she was too shy and emotional to make it out to the stage. Now, at the end of May . . . she shined! She triumphantly pushed through her fears and performed beautifully :) Allison has improved so much as a dancer. She really worked her magic and enjoyed herself. We were really so proud of both of them. They were a joy to watch! I will post pictures soon. :) At the end of June, Chad had to attend a conference in the Seaside area. The kids and I just had to tag along! We had a great time!! While Chad went to sessions during the morning and afternoon, the kids and soaked up the downtown area of the cutest little beach town ever! There were endless shops, candy stores and small eateries. There were also bumper cars, a beautiful carousel, and a small train to ride. The kids really had a great time! We also enjoyed the beach and playing in the sand and water. Now onto more exciting business . . . The Putman Family has some exciting news to announce: We are expecting our 4th child in January!! Yippee!! Let me tell you . . . we had many issues deciding to have this baby! Chad and I went back and forth for months trying to decide whether it was the right thing for our family. Turns out . . . it WAS the right thing! We got pregnant right away and we feel really good and excited about a new addition to our family. We will be stopping after this one though. 4th and final baby for us! Now, if I can just get past this morning sickness . . .
