More from TX

Here are a few more pictures from our visit to TX in November.  On the last day before heading home, I decided to try to get a picture of all the cousins together.

I love how W. is looking at V. in this picture :-)  And it looks like the two little guys are having a conversation.

Soooo cute! 

Winter Hats

 My cousin Ashley sent us these super cute hats!  Thank you Ashley, we love them and have been wearing them a lot!  They are keeping our ears nice and toasty!

Coordinating ones for Jeff and Jonathan :-)

And matching ones for me and Kellen.

Pregnancy Updates

*I am still feeling great!

*I am sleeping great too!

*It's getting a little difficult to put on socks and shoes (summer babies and flip flops are much easier!)

*Kellen is head down

*I think Kellen is more active than Jonathan was - and I thought he was super active!

*We have been blessed by very generous friends with many of the things we were needing for Kellen

*I am already within 3 lbs of what I weighed when Jonathan was born - yikes!

*I have finally figured out what a Braxton Hicks contraction feels like, and have been having a few every day the past few weeks.  I kept telling Jeff how Kellen was balling up a lot, then I read online that that is what some women say Braxton Hicks feel like.  I remember Jonathan balling up a lot too when I was pregnant with him.  I feel pretty silly that I am in the final weeks of my 2nd pregnancy and just figured out what BH feel like :-)

*My blood sugars are doing very well, which is a true blessing - praise God!

*I have been having lots of "pregnancy brain" moments.  I will share two of the most recent:

1) One morning a week or so ago, I told Jeff that I was going to make him his favorite meal for dinner.  At about 8 that night, I realized that I had not only not made his favorite meal, I didn't make him ANYTHING at all for dinner!  Being the wonderful husband that he is, he didn't complain and ate oatmeal for dinner.

2) After eating a few bites of my yogurt a few days ago, I realized that I was eating it with one of Jonathan's little baby spoons :-)  

*I am outgrowing my maternity clothes, which isn't good since I most likely have 7-9 weeks before this little one arrives! 

A Picture Post

My dad took these cute pictures of Jonathan with his rocking horse! 

Peek-A ... 

Boo!

     

My dad also took the new picture at the top of our blog and these...

I love the look on Jonathan's face in this one!

And here are some pics of my lovely parents!  Thank you so much for coming, we had a wonderful Thanksgiving with you! 

Me and my mom - thank you so much for all you do, I love you!

Cousins

We love our cousins and were so glad they came to visit us for Thanksgiving!



After all the yummy foods we ate on Thursday, we decided to go for a walk/bike ride Friday.

Wow!

  Granny Sharon gave us these "Big Guy" and "Little Guy" shirts when Jonathan was born.  They fit great this year and my big guy and little guy wear them all the time - thank you Granny Sharon!

Jonathan was fascinated with his older cousins and their bikes!  So Daddy decided to help him take a little ride :-)

Thank you for coming to visit us!  Come back anytime!

Thanksgiving 2010

This year we hosted Thanksgiving and were excited to have my parents, my oldest brother and his family, and my younger brother and his new bride join us for a few days.  This made for a total of 13 people in our home - that's the record thus far!  Thanksgiving day was rainy and cold, so we enjoyed playing games, reading books, and of course eating food!

Card games with Uncle D.

 We are so thankful to have this little one in our family this Thanksgiving!

Looks like the turkey is already making this little guy sleepy!

Reading Goodnight Moon with Granma before bed.

We loved having Uncle D and Aunt R with us for a few days!

Cute, cute, cute!

Granpa Bill's computer provided lots of fun entertainment.
