Thanks to All!

Happy Thanksgiving to all!  I cannot believe that 2011 is already almost over.  The holidays are upon us, and before we know it, we will be waking up on New Year's Day to a brand new year!  We have a lot to be thankful for this year.  We have an amazing son, who is growing bigger everyday.  We have our health and our family.  We have a miracle daughter on the way, who was the incredible answer to many people's prayers.  We have a lot to look forward to in 2012, and are excited to celebrate the holidays with the ones we love.

We had been talking to Isaiah about what we are all thankful for this year.  He understands a little but more this year the meaning of Thanksgiving, and his class even had a Thanksgiving Feast Celebration to show everyone what they had learned about this year about the Pilgrims and the Indians.  Isaiah told me that he was thankful for, "Shark cookies, swimming pools, and games."  Hehehehe.  I had made him sugar cookies in the shape of sharks on Thanksgiving Eve. :-)

Isaiah and I have been on school vacation this week, and have had a fun time playing games and enjoying the freedom from the grind!  Isaiah is big into baseball right now, so everyday we went to the park so I could throw him the baseball and he could practice his hitting.  He does REALLY well, and we plan to sign him up for tee ball in January.

We also had our 24 week appointment for baby Camryn, and everything is going along smoothly.  She weights 1 pound and 7 ounces.  The tech looked at all of her parts again, and did reconfirm that it is indeed a girl.  Paul and Isaiah have been able to feel her kick, and they literally get a kick out of it! 

We had a great time spending the holiday at my Grandma's house in Port Saint Lucie.  Next up...Christmas!

We love you!

Progress!!!

Painting and getting the nursery set up is A LOT Of work.  Of course, it is all fun too, because it is in preparation for our little jellybean, Camryn.  Of course, it was harder to do than most rooms, because a.  We have 10 foot height ceilings, so it is hard to paint all the way up there when you are standing on a really high ladder, and b. our walls have "knockdown" texture to them, so they are not totally seamless, which made putting a border up fun.  We decided that since the room was already painted beige, and it was a really nice color, that we wanted to keep some of the beige and add in some color (PINK OF COURSE!!!)  I always had a pink room growing up and I always envisioned my daughter having one as well.  So, we decided to paint the top half of the room pink and then put a border up to separate the two.  The border was harder then we anticipated, but it is UP and so far so good!!!!  Here is the progress in the nursery so far!

Isaiah was also really excited this week because he got to go Trick or Treating with his friends.  We have a yearly tradition of going with our 2 neighbors and their kids, who are all Isaiah's best friends.  The weather was GORGEOUS and the kids had a blast.  I have more pics to upload of Halloween, but here is a peak at the fun!

The last pic is of Isaiah next to his little "garden."  We found the cute hanging pot holder at the farmer's market, and Isaiah had a blast planting flowers in it with Paul.  He is very proud of his work!!!!  Overall it has been a GREAT month and we are now ready to dive head first into the holidays!  Til next time!

Love, US!
