Drums

I watched Rhett & Rachelle's kids while they went to Virginia for a wrestling competition. One of Rayce's homework assignments for preschool was to make a drum. This is TaKara and Rayce jamming out while the other 3 kids were at school ;)

Singing in the Rain

So last Monday, March 8th, we were watching the musical Singing in the Rain for family home evening and for those of you who have seen it will know what I am talking about for those who haven't sorry. There is a part where they are making their first movie ever with sound. So they are using microphones and the main actress won't talk into the mic so they wire it to her. Well the main sound coming through is her heartbeat. At that same exact moment Dale lays down on my stomach for a few seconds, sits up and gives me the strangest look in the entire world then lays back down. Later that night he told me what that was all about. At the exact same moment that they said, "What is that? Her heartbeat." Dale heard our baby's heartbeat for the first time. We never tried this when we were pregnant with TaKara, but at that moment is when the whole pregnancy became real for Dale.

A couple days later we let TaKara listen. Afterwards we didn't say a word and she lifted up my shirt, kissed my belly, then said "I love you, baby." It was so sweet!
