Annual Trick or Treat

Our weekend started on Saturday morning with a soccer game - with gale-force winds and chilly temps! But, this crew was excited to be together.

Connor played a great game!! These crazies created a blanket-fort.

Then we got to go to Aunt Michelle's house to warm up and eat brunch. Chloe and Linlee had a good time together :)

Then, we headed to the pumpkin patch!

This was a new thing at the pumpkin patch: inflatable horses. Bill challenged Kevin (who couldn't turn him down) and the video I took is HILARIOUS. Ask me to see it, and I'll gladly show you. My dear husband asked me not to post it on the world wide web. ;)

Chloe was the perfect size for the smaller horse - check out her look of determination!

I think father & son look a lot alike in this picture!

After a quick break and dinner, we got ready for trick-or-treat!

Chloe ~ Belle

April ~ Princess Frostine, from CandyLand

Peter ~ a reluctant Thomas the Train

Linlee ~ smart baby who skipped the cold :)

What was the best part of the weekend? Seeing this little chickee being baptized, welcoming her into the covenant family! We had a fun family lunch afterwards :)

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.
