Its been forever!!!

OK so it has been forever since I have posted anything...sorry for the delay but life has really been fast paced at the Rogers house. Baby Samuel William will be here next Friday the 30Th if not before then. I have been having some contractions but they don't seem to be strong enough (according to the Dr not me they feel plenty strong enough to me) or close enough together to count...so we are just sitting and waiting. I am waking up every morning at 4 am for some reason...it could be the fact that it feels like he is trying to kick and punch his way out!
Hannah started playing softball a few weeks ago so that has kept us really busy as well. She is doing great which really surprises me after we tried soccer and it was a complete disaster. With soccer she didn't like the uniform so it was a fight every time we went to practice or a game. I made her finish out the season since she was the one who wanted to sign up in the first place. She didn't do too bad, she ran along with the kids but just wasn't aggressive enough to go after the ball. I asked her if she wanted to play softball when we got the sign up sheet but she said no. Jessica asked her if she wanted to and she said yes. So we signed her up and took her to the first practice...I was shocked when we got there because she just ran right out on the field with the other kids and acted like she had been playing her entire life! When she got up to bat she actually hit the ball! When we left she said "mom I love softball that was really fun" I asked her how she knew what to do and she said they had been playing at school. Anyway she had a game the other night and got to bat 3 times...she struck out all 3 times but was great playing outfield she actually got 2 kids out! She had another game tonight and struck out the first time but the second time she hit it and got on 1st base. Then after 2 more batters she ran home! I was so excited for her... she had a smile on her face from ear to ear! They won both games!

Mallory has been Mallory...getting into everything still and staying in trouble. She has such a strong personality! She makes me laugh and makes me so mad at the same time. She is excited about her baby brother but I know when he gets here it will be a struggle for her since she is so used to being the center of attention so I am going to have to be really creative with her and make her feel special!
Well that's all for now I will try to do much better keeping everyone updated on whats going on but no promises! I will post pics of the baby when he gets here. We are having a photographer come to our house when we get home from the hospital so we can gets some newborn pictures of him with his sisters. Here are a few pictures of the girls for now!
