The Jankowski Family: Baby Update and Wedding!

So I haven't put a whole lot of detail about baby #2... I guess cause there isn't much more to say than that we know we are having a BABY BOY and we are very, VERY excited about it! Kaylie often comes to my tummy and gives me a hug or touches my belly and says, "he kicked me". Whenever anyone asks her she always knows that she is having a baby boy (we are still trying to explain how baby boy and baby brother are the same thing). Anyways, Marcus is very excited to have his boy coming! We found out the news on April 1st. We are happy that we will have one of each to start.

Just this last week we were in Washington at Doug and Emily's Wedding! Yep, the last of the Jankowski clan to be married off! We drove out to Washington on Monday, the 15th, and stayed with an old roommate of mine, Diana Nye and her family. Her husband is Ryan and they have two little boys, Brodie(3) and Brock(7 months). They live in Vancouver, WA so we stayed the night with them. We watched the kids play together and the adults chatted the night away. So late that we were a little exhausted in the morning. Diana made us a pancake breakfast and then we were off to Seattle for Emily's endowment session at the temple. Fortunately, Kaylie had Emily's sister, Amy to babysit her for a couple hours and she did great! That evening we all got our luggage into our hotels and met at Red Robin for dinner. We had an enjoyable time getting to know each other's families and spending quality time with Marcus's siblings whom we don't see very often since they are away at school in Idaho. Kaylie did a funny thing at dinner, she reminded me that we needed to say a prayer for our food. I happily agreed but then she was going around the table to anyone whose eyes were opened and telling them that we were praying. Ha ha! It was so cute! I'm so proud of my little prayer natzi. Anywho, the next day, the 17th, we all woke up to get to the temple by 9:30. Doug and Emily were married and sealed for time and all eternity! What a happy day it was to have everyone in the temple together. Very special for the Jankowski family. We had a reception that evening in Sequim, so after pictures we drove to a ferry which took us even closer and then we only had about 30 minutes until we arrived at Emily's parents home. From there we went to the reception that was in a cute little park with a little reception hall. We had a blast celebrating all together and then they were off to Seattle on their honeymoon. The rest of us stayed the night in condos that the family had got for us. They were very hospitable and took well care of us and even fed us the next morning! It was nice to have that evening to spend with Marcus's siblings and parents. We really had a great time! Thursday we headed home. After the breakfast with Emily's family we headed back down to Vancouver to say goodbye to Diana and her boys and then we went to Portland where we met Marcus's siblings at Voodoo Doughnuts. It was fun to see all the creative doughnuts everyone chose! After saying goodbye to his siblings, we headed back to Sacramento. What a great week to spend with family, and new and old friends!

Marcus and I gave Kaylie a check-up set to play doctor while we were in the temple. She used it on everyone that she could that first day, and she still does it 10 times a day! Here is Chris and Kaylie!
