Happy Thanksgiving!!!



We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year. We missed Steve so much, as he had to work. But the boys (Avery and Silas anyway) understood about being thankful. And Avery was REALLY into it. We went to my parents' house and they were very well behaved. And had a lot of fun playing with their cousins.




Sorry for the lack of posts this month. It seems as if things are so busy anymore that I forget to get on here. I'll try to do better, as there are a lot of fun times around the holidays that I'd like to share with family and friends.




My pregnancy is going well. I saw the doctor yesterday and he quickly found a heartbeat. My energy level is increasing too, as the second trimester is here and I'm not too big yet. Key word here... YET! I'm definitely growing and it's becoming more and more obvious. And baby is starting to make some movements that I can for sure distinguish. How fun to feel our little blessing in there moving around! I have another appointment with the doctor just before Christmas and at that time we'll schedule our "Big" ultrasound. And yes... we will try to find out the gender. :o)




Well, it is late, the house is quiet, and this mother is tired. I'll leave you with a couple of pictures:




A sweet and thankful pilgrim! Avery spent Tuesday at school with his dad for the "Thankfulness Celebration." He sure makes a cute one!


Where'd my baby go? Nolan had his first haircut last night. He looks so grown up! But as Steve said... "he looks like one of my boys now!"

Just an update

I realized this morning that I haven't update the blog in a while. To be honest, we've been busy, but very good lately. The boys are growing like crazy, and I pray we can make it through the winter without new wardrobes.

I'm feeling pretty good and starting to get some energy back as the 2nd trimester is almost here! Apparently, having 3 children and being pregnant can be exhausting! Who knew? But besides not keeping up on my housework, I've done fine. I pray that the rest of this pregnancy will be as uneventful.

Steve has had a lot going on. He's had classes that he has both taught and attended for the fire department and is helping his grandpa build a barn. I must say I've been impressed with his skills as a carpenter. He doesn't know that he just got himself into a heap of projects by demonstrating this ;o) I'll try to take it easy on him!

We had a terrific Halloween! The boys wore themselves out with a little trick-or-treating and then the Harvest Hoe-down at church. It was a lot of fun for mom too. I love watching them enjoy themselves! Oh how quickly they are growing! It's both wonderful and sentimental for me to experience. Avery is seriously getting so tall! What happened to my baby???
