Introducing Miss D

Yeah, yeah I know it will be two weeks tomorrow and I haven't posted any pics of our D. Well here we go...

We are still in the delivery room. This picture was taken pretty soon after birth.

Awake!

The kids meeting Dorothy.

I just love that face...

Bouncing Babies

My baby seems to be moving all the time - hopefully this one will decide to go ahead and have a birthday, though! I'm honestly amazed that I'm still pregnant at this point.

I thought I'd share some photos of the kids waiting for this new arrival - they have been jumping a lot, and it's pretty fun! Enjoy ...

Hanging Around

We are just hanging out waiting for baby D to make an appearance, sort of. I go to the doctor tomorrow and I will be 35 weeks and 4 days!! Somehow, David and I got a week off and we were thinking a few weeks ago that we were a week ahead of what we actually were. Anyhow, we are back on track now. We had a couple close calls last week when we thought the baby might be coming but baby D has been cooperating and decided it was for the best to stay put (at least a little longer). Thanks grandma for coming and helping out - we know it made a big difference! Our goal is to make it to Sunday, 36 weeks.

Here are a few pictures.

A showing me her portrait of me. Isn't it great??

B dancing around the house in her Thumbelina costume.
She doesn't have the wings on at this exact moment.

A showing off her face paint from the church festival on Halloween.

Hopefully I can find a good picture of C (he was Thomas the Train for Halloween) and A (she was Barbie getting married) in their costumes.

Happy Jonah Day - whoops - Happy Columbus Day

The kids and I had a fun time today learning about Columbus and Jonah. They both liked boats right?? Here are the kids enjoying the Jonah watercolor book.

C loves any kind of paint product!

The girls creating...

Masterpieces

When the watercolor dries we will move on to the Columbus festivities!! Hope you are having a good one.

Run Austin Run

David did it! He completed his first half marathon this morning!! Yeah, I am so proud of him. I wish the kids and I could have been there to support him but I am really trying to take it easy as I am 33 weeks pregnant today (and so far no bed rest :).

David getting home from the race.

The Great Pumpkin Patch

Our family ventured out to the pumpkin patch yesterday and had a great time. We wanted to go right after church but we had to wait for the downpour to finish (don't get me wrong, I am grateful for rain). David and the kids actually had a puddle stomping afternoon before the pumpkins. Ahhh, I love October.

Love the pumpkins!

C romping in some of the pumpkins!

And a fun picture of B enjoying her snack time yesterday - as always, love the hair :)

Go Tigers!!

A has started playing soccer a few weeks ago and we finally remembered to bring the camera to take a few pictures of her. She is on the Tigers and plays for the YMCA. Our goal for her is to have fun - and every week she does :) Enjoy these pictures from the game this morning.
