Trick or Treat!

Did you think I wouldn't post about our trip?  Here's what Peter thinks of that:




What did we do when we got to Uncle Bill and Aunt Laura's?  Played in the leaves, of course. :)


Saturday morning we started early....these two liked visiting at the breakfast table....






After a trip to a local park, we met up with everyone at the pumpkin patch.  Connor and Chloe both thought it was a little too bright on this bench for pictures....



ha! Then, all the kids just had to get their picture taken by this statue.....so they posed really nicely: 


Forget posing for pictures, lets get on with the fun!  First, the petting zoo area....April showed no fear.



Then, the Big Slide.




Peter didn't seem to mind that he was too little to ride.  He got to hang with Aunt Chelle!!

Two Brave Kiddos rode all by themselves!



Strong Pap did a feats-of-strength....

Then Tom showed everyone what's what by doing it with one arm!


While this was happening, Connor was being pulled from the hay bales by Strong Mawna :)

Pedal cars were next.  Chloe was able to make her's go all by herself.  Granted, she wasn't fast, but she did go all the way around a few times!




While we waited for lunch, face painting was a big hit -- this is the first time Chloe and April have had their faces painted.  April was quick to pick a purple fish.  Chloe was thoughtful about her choice and chose the pumpkin with the swirly vines.



Attempt a group photo? Sure.  This is the worst.  I'll probably print the best for the kind grandparents who put up with our attempt.


After naps, the exhausted parents changed their cute kids into costumes for Trick or Treat. Check out the great costumes -- April is Rapunzel, Connor is Curious George, Chloe is a ballerina.


Peter went as Mickey Mouse! He seemed pretty good about it, until we wanted to take his picture with Minnie....

then we got this blank stare....for 18 pictures.....

Peter is still making the blank expression, but the three in the middle have plenty of personality :)



Sunday morning the babies visited a little more before heading to church -- look, they are holding hands!

Chelle and Tom hosted us for lunch and we were on our way back home.  So fast, but SO fun :)

Wedding!

Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Martin! :) We attended Natalie and Dallas' wedding on Saturday and had a lovely time. We know both the bride and groom from college....and just happen to be great friends with the bride's parents as well (Hi Bill and Doreen!). Here is the new couple - Natalie looked beautiful, and Dallas looked pretty good too ;) Here I am with the bride - check out her BLUE shoes! No wedding is complete without a little dancing and singing....particularly to Livin on a Prayer....Steve, Jeff, and Kevin sang at the top of their lungs and performed an air guitar solo: even the bride joined in: We had a great time! I'm thinking of the honeymooners.....kind of wishing I was on a tropical island somewhere too! :)

34 Weeks

34 weeks and my belly button has popped out :)  haha!  I'm still feeling a lot of movement and today my doctor said everything was great.  Here's some info on our "Baby Brother", as I refer to this little guy with Chloe and April: Your baby now weighs about 4 3/4 pounds ( about the size of a cantaloupe ) and is almost 18 inches long. His fat layers — which will help regulate his body temperature once he's born — are filling him out, making him rounder. His skin is also smoother than ever. His central nervous system is maturing and his lungs are continuing to mature as well. If you've been nervous about preterm labor , you'll be happy to know that babies born between 34 and 37 weeks who have no other health problems generally do fine. They may need a short stay in the neonatal nursery and may have a few short-term health issues, but in the long run, they usually do as well as full-term babies.
