Alot of catching up to do

Alot to catch up on...Let me start off by stating that I blame our computer in large part to my lack of posting. It is old and ready to kick the bucket so to speak, it works when it wants to! Of course it is not all to blame, things have been busy. I'm sorry I've been a slacker though!!!! I love looking at eveyone else's blogs!!!!!
Where to start, Easter was so fun, Lilly loved going on easter egg hunts and she is so fun to watch. I feel so privilaged to be able to be her mom. We are having a second little girl on the way and Lilly is so excited to meet her 'baby sister'. She will lay on my belly and try to listen to her kick, it is really sweet.
Collin graduated from Dental School, he is now Dr. Kraus!!! So crazy. I can't believe 4 years have gone by. Now I have to take a moment to state how very proud of him I am; and since he will never tell anyone about this stuff (because he is modest) I will!!!!!! Ha ha!!! I feel it is my right as his very proud wife!!!! Not only did he graduate and now is on to a Master degree in Ortho but he recieved the most prestigious award you can receive at Baylor. We didn't know he was getting it until he saw it printed in the program. He had to go on stage and be presented this award where they proceeded to read about my sweet husband's many accomplishments. It was so awesome, they talked alot about his mission and even took excerpts from his mission President's letter of recommendation that he wrote for Collin prior to getting into Dental school. It was a wonderful missionary experience. It really goes to show that maintaining your integrity and being an upstanding person doesn't always go unnoticed. My sweet Collin has tried so hard all through Dental school to be helpful and honest in all his dealings. He is loved there, and was appreciated by all the faculty. They are the ones who vote on who receives this award, it is based upon lots of criteria. Suffice it to say, I am in awe of my husband and we feel so very blessed by our Heavenly Father. I know He takes care of our needs and he has watched over Collin these past 4 years. Thank you all for all your prayers on his and our behalf.

Way to go Collin! I wish we'd been there to hear the rest of the speech. Love all the videos!

Hey! That is awesome about the award! Congratulations! How exciting.

Also, where are your book shelves?

Oh and I freaked out a little when I watched the last video of Lilly opening presents from Mom and Dad because I thought I missed her birthday but then I thought, "No I didn't, it's in July?" therefore I was still confused but I'm just going to roll with it.

Miss you guys!

Oh and p.s. Scott and I agree that your daughter is BEAUTIFUL. Also, we feel bad for you for when she's older.
