Family and Foster Care : Lots of news in the Beckenhauer Home....

Allie will soon be a big sister! Yahoo!!! I am officially 13 weeks pregnant and due March 5th. We feel incredibly blessed this house... Allie is loving every part of this baby thing :) She is obsessed with babies... everything baby... She thinks her baby is 100% real. If baby falls she must pick her up and give her LOTS of kisses and hugs on her "boo boos". So its going to be so fun to see her with a little baby around the house. Allie is currently learning her colors.. She has about 10 of them figured out and loves it. She has to tell me the color of everything we pass. She is getting so old its so fun to watch her turn into such a little lady. We are attempting to slowly potty train allie... she has only been successfull twice but its been BIG in this house :) She loves to sit on the potty and wear her big girl panties so I am just trying to do it slowly and with as little stress as possible. She LOVES to get her sucker when she actually does go to the bathroom in her potty. I was just wanting her to be trained by the time the second baby comes along so I don't have to be changing two diapers :) And for those of you who were wondering just like we didn't with allie we are not finding out the sex of the baby this time around either. Rob and I really enjoy not knowing and finding out after... We like those suprises in life... We feel like its like opening a present before the big day. :) So you will all have to wait till the end of feb beginning of march to find out what God decided to bless us with...

The rest of us (rob and I) wait patiently... sometimes impatiently... for where the Air Force is deciding to send us. We are hoping to find out in the next week or so. We are thinking we will be moving sometime in spring... so as you can see our main question is... how close to my due date are we going to be moving?!? So I am really trying to trust that Gods plans are so much better than mine and He already has everything worked out so there is no need to stress :) So we will keep everyone updated on where and when we will be heading. Also Rob is going to be heading out to a training for 5 weeks on Sept 10th. He will return on Oct 16th. Unfortunately he will be deploying a week later till mid January. So he will be gone for almost 4 months of my pregnancy and be missing all holidays and allies 2nd birthday. So keep us in your prayers as we try to soak up as much as we can as a family over the next three weeks. Again God is good and will keep us strong as a family.

Well I will be MUCH Better about posting I seemed to fall into a rut with blogging so I will definitely be posting more often as I get larger :) and allie gets bigger...

Here are a couple fun pics of allie this past couple days...
