It's a...

So, for those of you who don't know the exciting news, we went to the doctor's yesterday and were able to see that are baby is doing just fine. She is now up to 10 ounces, has a strong heart beat, nice size head, and a very nice size tummy. If you didn't catch that we told you that are baby is a girl!!!! Yes, we have decided to name her Daisy Rae (pronounced like Ray- except female version) Phillips! She was being a lot like her mother and sleeping really crazy. She had her little legs tucked over her head, silly girl!!! So we didn't get a picture to post on the blog, in about two weeks we'll be going back to have our 3D pictures and we'll be sure to show them to you all! For the mean time we'll post a few fun pics. of Ethan that have been taken over the past few days/months/.
Ethan thinks he is going to go on a trip with Grandma if he just fits himself into her suitcase. She had just returned from a trip though! By-the-way he really did fit in the suitcase, and you could zip it up!! Ha! Ha!
Ethan decides he is ready for a big-boy-bed!! He is trying out Grandma's bed just to make sure he likes it!This is our cat, Hobbes, that we had to give away to a nice family because we couldn't find a place that would allow pets live in the place for little or no money! We sure do miss the friendly little feller!!

Our new Home

So it's been so crazy the past few weeks. We have been living with Steve's parents and it has been nice to have a place to stay, but we really wanted to have a place of our own. It's been kinda hard with Ethan being all crazy and having to stay on his tail. A few weeks ago we thought we found a great little house for our little family, but it turned out that it wasn't so great at all! There was some sewage problems with the house and we had to find that out on our own with out being informed about it by our landlords. We had moved everything in and Sharifa had unpacked a lot of boxes and we had to get out of the house fast so that Ethan, Sharifa, and the baby to be would be safe. Luckily Steve's parents let us come back to their house to stay for a few days. Also, later we were able to find a great condo in a different city. The condo has three bedrooms and two and a half bathes, it 's great!!!!We love it and can't wait to meet all the new people around us and in our new ward! One thing that we like about living here is that there seems to be more young families than older people, so that means that there are little kids for Ethan to play with!!!Our new home!!!
