Halloween in Flora

It was good to be in Flora again for the Fall Festival Parade & festivities...been a few years. Court & Nate had a get together...and as always, it was great to see everyone... Poor Andrew had to work ALL weekend...like 32 hours from Thurs.-Sun...and he's at work now too...so make that 40 from Thurs.-Mon. Will life ever slow down?!?!

33 weeks & counting...

Baby Grace is Chubby!!!

We had our 4-D ultrasound today! Little baby Grace has chubby cheeks! She was sleeping the entire time. She sleeps just like her daddy...one hand over the head...which may be adorable, but very difficult to get a good face shot on camera.

Yep, left arm over face...does she know that this was expensive!?! :) Regardless, it was really great to see her...and to make sure all her parts look as they should...and that she is still a "she"! The tech said she looked big...they wouldn't tell us her approximate weight...but we'll probably get a big chubby baby!

31 Weeks & 4 days

I have to redeem myself from that awful picture below. Gracie is getting BIG!

Molly Claire

Good friends (& fellow optometrists at MEC) Emily & Rob had their first baby on October 8th. She is an absolute doll...So tiny & precious. I took these pictures this evening of her. We are just certain that Molly & Grace are going to be the best of friends.

Today is also my 28th birthday! My mom, dad, grandma, & aunt drove down to Giant City to eat with us. Andrew's parents & Ellie came too. We had a really nice visit. My dad thought it was hilarious that I was barefoot & pregnant standing in the kitchen.

Speaking of hunting...Andrew had vowed not to shave his face until he got a deer! How silly?! I took this picture about 5 days ago...so you can imagine, it only got worse.

Today is his 10 year class reunion...big decision...to shave or not to shave. He decided that a clean shave would probably be the best choice (whew!)...but before he shaved it all off, we had a little fun. This is his Super Troopers look... I'm sure he didn't think I would plaster this all over our blog! Hey, if you're willing to be this silly, you gotta share!

This picture was taken in Bloomington, IN after a LONG day of continuing education. I look like poo & kinda felt like it...but it's the only picture I've had taken in a long time of the growing little one. So, don't look at my face! I'm 31 weeks tomorrow.

Brandy & Ryan let Morgan & I stay with them during this continuing edu. seminar. They (along with Brandy's mom, Linda!) threw me a mini-baby shower with wonderful gifts & cake! Thanks, girls! I loved it!

Camera Found

Good to know, I'm not losing my mind...well, atleast not my camera! Andrew had it with his hunting stuff...just in case "the big one" comes by I suppose.

Here are her letters and the ribbon to hang them...not sure how I'm going to do this...but I'm sure it'll be great!

Happy Birthday Andrew

Today is my dear husband's 29th birthday! Oh, how I love him!!! We spent the day at church, eating lunch with Isaac & putting together our baby girl's crib/dresser. He's at work now...who wants to work on their birthday?!

I was going to post a picture of the baby's furniture...but I can't seem to find our camera! This isn't so surprising since I seem to be losing my mind daily. Surely it'll turn up!
