Baby Boy

The fun weekly appointments have started along with the weekly non-stress tests. For the first test he was overactive and they needed to see that he could calm down and keep a steady slower heartbeat. Which he did after some major relaxing, I almost fell asleep. This week he decided to take a nap at the start of the test that it even after 12 ounces of juice and a chocolate snack he still slept for 20 minutes! No doubt this child is ours, stubborn!! But we are all excited and anxious to meet Audrey's little brother. She just giggles and says "I cannot wait for January!"

This clip is a little dark but Audrey just loves to sing and dance and perform for the camera. Too cute!

Thanksgiving

Our Thanksgiving vacation was wonderful! It was so great to see our family and just relax and let the kids play. Audrey had so much fun doing everything from helping Nana make cupcakes, riding on a train with Grandpa, rocking at the Wii bowling & dance games, decorating cookies with her cousins, entertaining Nana & Papa with songs, learning to play UNO and winning, and just all around being silly and having a blast at it. There are so many stories to tell from our trip and how much we are thankful for this holiday season. But for now I will just incude an array of photos.

New Rooms

As many of you know we have been anxiously awaiting the completion of half of our basement to become the new playroom! It is now complete and we are thrilled! The old playroom is now set up as the baby's room and Miss. Audrey has a BIG girl bed fit for a princess. She is thrilled with all of the new space to play and sleep, as are we. Finishing the basement was a project but well worth it! The toys (most of them anyways) have a great space downstairs in a room all to themselves. How wonderful! Now with a few touch-ups here and there, adding some wall art and removing the pink butterfly from the baby's room we'll be all set!

Halloween Extravaganza!

Halloween this year was a huge week and half long celebration! We had a cupcake decorating social, a trip to the local senior center, a parade, a school party/parade, dad's work party, a friend's Halloween party and then the big night of trick or treating. All of it was so much fin for the kids and parents too. I loved seeing the costumes and decorations at all the events we went to. What was even better was that Audrey wore a different costume for each event. She had it all planned out of what she was wearing to each. She would go to her dress-up bag and select a different princess. However she decided last minute that for Halloween night that she was going to be a Georgia Bulldog Cheerleader, so cute! On Halloween night our little one decided that she is now a big girl and had us wait by the street so that she could walk up, ring the bell and say "trick or treat" all by herself. Such a big girl!!

Below are a few pictures from the over 100 that I took over the past week. There will also be a series of videos attached as well. Our little actress acted out little scenes to go with several of her costumes. And at Len's work party Audrey go to "bob" for a doughnut, as a ballerina she did a dance number and as Tinker Bell she created a show titled " Tinker Bell looses her wand". It has been a very exciting, fun and exhausting week.
