30 Weeks!

Today makes 30 weeks pregnant for me! I woke up this morning and realized just how close we are to being a family of 5! Of course we have to get through Christmas and then it's crunch time to get ready for baby to be here!

Speaking of Christmas....because of a mix-up on an order that I placed a few weeks ago with Target, they were nice to give me a $25 online gift card. I have been really struggling with what to spend it on (had to be something good, right?). I came across this and immediately ordered it! Natalie loves the playmobil stuff that she has and I can't wait for this to come in!

As long as the weather cooperates (and Ben doesn't snag a big deer this morning that could distract him) we are heading out later to cut our Christmas tree! I'll share pictures for sure!

A Great Giveaway!

more snow

Last Friday we had a forecast that called for scattered snow showers...By lunch time we had almost 2 inches! The kids loved it!

This was a few minutes ago :)

Let It Snow :)

I think we are getting our first snow of the season right now. It's not sticking but it sure is coming down! Does that count if it doesn't stick?

I'd take some pictures but i'm too comfy inside with my cup of hot cocoa :)

A few pictures

Natalie and Wyatt were playing around in Grammy's room the other night and Natalie tried to climb on the bed really fast. Well, her foot slipped and her little face smacked into the bed railing. She looks like she got into quite a fight :).

Here's a belly shot for you Chrissie! The dog seems to think my belly is a good resting spot for her big head and does this to me quite often.

I'm 26.5 weeks pregnant and feeling pretty good lately...for a while I thought I would be exhausted forever. I've only gained 12lbs so far and am pretty happy about that :). This little guy moves a lot and is getting big! We still aren't 100% on a name but when we are i'll let everyone know!

Home Makeover

Extreme Home Makeover is in town and since this is one of Wyatt's favorite shows, I loaded the kids up to go and see the site today. We had bad timing and ended up waiting in line for about 30 minutes to catch the bus, so Wyatt entertained himself by running through the cones--over and over and over.

I honestly think the highlight of the trip for Natalie was the bus ride!
And here it is!

Our black-eyed beauty (more on that later)

Election

I wonder if anyone out there isn't watching the election coverage, sitting on pins and needles? We certainly are! But we also know that no matter what, God is in control.

Wyatt has been so into this election and it's been pretty funny sometimes how frustrated he would be with ads and such. Last night I realized that he had no idea that he wasn't old enough to vote! Poor thing--I hated to break it to him. So today when it was time for me to go, he chose to stay at home and read his new lego magazine :)

Natalie, on the other hand, was excited to go and help me push the buttons! She wore her "I Voted" sticker proudly all day!

I wish I had a picture but of course I forgot my camera when we went to vote :(
