Grace is SPOILED!

Ann, Erika, & Tammy threw me a baby shower yesterday at Debby's house...and it was spectacular!!! So sweet and thoughtful. The details these girls put into it...so cool. Notice all the cute little outfits hanging in the windows.

Erika's family got us our Pack 'N Play (& so much more!) and Jon & Ann had this cradle made for Grace by the Amish. Isn't it gorgeous!?! Another special thing they got her (along with a zillion cute outfits) was a baby bracelet & baby ring with her birthstone.

One of the outfits hanging (not in this picture) was a camouflage dress for daddy...and a U of I dress.

The guests! All you G-landers...Marla Martin & Mohria Martin

G-landers: Marilyn Morris, Maggie Morris-Davis, Emmalee Forth, & Tara Zettler

The Vancil/Trinkle crew!

Not the best picture...but that little rocking horse right there was mine when I was a little girl. It has my name painted on it & my mom painted Grace on the other side! I cried...how special!

This was such a cute idea...they had some poem about letting the laundry wait...and all the clothes were strung together on a clothesline.

What a wonderful shower!?! She got so many nice things. And another shower next weekend in Flora! This baby is SPOILED!

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!
