We are gearing up for some big celebrations in the next few weeks: a new addition to the family and Ella's 4th birthday...of which we are now taking bets for if they will fall on the same day. Either way, we will have two June-bugs in the McClintic clan.

Ella has been preparing for the big sis gig. We recently took a "siblings" class @ the hospital where baby boy McClintic will be born. The did great job of teaching the big sisters and brothers all about what to expect with a new baby, and even got a tour of the mother/baby room where Mom and baby will stay.

She has been playing in the nursery non-stop...rocking her stuffed animals, putting them to sleep, changing their diaper...

And of course showing off the baby (aka balloon) in her belly, too:
