My Best attempt at a Christmas Card Picture

We generally get professional pictures done this time of year but we decided to wait until the baby came so I had to attempt to get pictures on my own. Wow what a chore. We didn't last long and we didn't get a good picture of Gavin and Madison together. Oh well, I did the best I could with my cheap-o camera (I think I need to just spend the money and get a nice digital camera). I'm not going to post the Christmas Card pictures you will just have to wait for those in the mail.

Happy Thanksgiving

What a great Thanksgiving we had. We have so much to be thankful for. God has truely blessed us in many ways! Gavin and Madison had their Thanksgiving Program at Preschool and they did a wonderful job.

On Thanksgiving we started the morning by attempting to watch the Macy's Parade. The kids loved watching all the floats but got board really fast. We left it on and they would periodically come back to it to watch.

We then went to my Grandmas for lunch and cornhole. We had a great time celebrating the holiday with Family. We then came back to our house to have Kyle's family over. We ended the night with Charlie Brown's Thanksgiving. We were all pooped out and in bed by 8:30.

Pregnancy Update

Had a Doctors appt the other day. Hard to believe I am already 16 weeks. Everything is going well so far. The baby's heart beat was 150. I started to feel the baby move a little over a week ago. I have been having some issues with my blood sugar dropping suddenly so I carry some peanuts in my pocketbook now just to be on the safe side.
We can find out what we are having on December 7th but Kyle and I have decided that we want to be surprised. I am so excited to not find out the sex of the baby. Just praying everything looks good on the ultrasound. Ever since I was pregnant with Gavin ultrasounds make me very nervous and anxious since you never know if they will find something wrong but we know that GOD is in CONTROL!!!

Gavin's First Real Train Ride to Baltimore

For Fathers Day I surprised Kyle with a train ride to Baltimore and tickets to the Baltimore and Red Sox Baseball Game. They took the trip back in September and Gavin did great on the 12 hour train ride up there. They decided not to take the train back just because Kyle felt it wasn't the safest place in the world for a 3 year old (or 31 year old for that matter) so they drove back.
