The Dream Becomes a Reality (Maybe)

Karianna drew a picture the other day:

As you can tell from her labels, its a picture of me, Karianna, and Sara. Who is Sara you ask? Well, Sara is Karianna's little sister that just isn't born; if you ask Karianna, she'll tell you baby Sara is in heaven and she'll come join our family when Jordan is bigger. All of Karianna's old clothes go into baby Sara's box. If Karianna outgrows a toy or a doll, she'll add that to the box, graciously stating that baby Sara can play with it when she joins our family. Karianna knew full well that baby Sara wasn't coming anytime soon, but it has been fun for her to plan ahead, so to speak.

We are now at a point where that dream is becoming a reality since (if you didn't already know) we are now officially expecting baby Sara....or Joshua. If its Joshua, Karianna is going to have to have a major paradigm shift. Baby is due October 22nd and we are certainly excited to get into the craziness that we believe will be a family of 6. Question for everyone: how do you go anywhere with 4 children ages 5 and under? I'm still working on that. Any suggestions would be helpful.
