Puppet Show

Amelia giving her daddy a bear puppet show!

I'm not sure where she got this idea from, but it sure was cute!

Faux Thanksgiving

We had a faux Thanksgiving in the middle of October before Tom, Michelle and family headed down to Texas.  It was great to see the kids play together!

Amelia is quite the driver!  Since Isabelle is not afraid of anything and refuses to be left behind, she loved being driven around by anyone!

Isabelle and Nathan.  Nathan is 6 months old and about 2 lbs less than Isabelle!  He is a big boy! and super cute!  Isabelle loves Nathan and could not do enough for him....including giving him kisses and getting his toys.

Isabelle continues her climbing experiences and found this perch on the couch

A Quick Glimpse

Today was the 36 week appointment and the last ultrasound before we get to meet our little boy face to face.  We were lucky enough to get some great ultrasound pictures!  I was very excited!   Here is one of the little man!  

Everything is looking good and healthy, so we will keep praying it continues.

Family Pictures

Here are some fall family pictures of us.....pre-boy.

AWANA Cubbies

This year Amelia is old enough to be in AWANA Cubbies!  Amelia is so so excited and she is doing an amazing job memorizing her verses, learning the Cubby song and wearing her vest.  She is very proud and is always working toward more patches!

This night was crazy hair night!  Amelia had Minnie mouse ears!

Pizza & a Movie

We recently started Pizza and a Movie on Friday nights, when possible.  The girls love it!  Though, we have never actually made it through a full movie yet, hopefully it  becomes a fun family tradition.

Family Get Together

For great grandpa's 85th birthday, we had a big family get together!  It was the first time we have been together in a really long time.  It was so great to see everyone and spend a little time together.

Isabelle still remains quite particular with her people, but started to warm up to Great Grandpa towards the end of the visit.

Such fun giggles

More flips with gramma!

Such a sweet picture of Isabelle getting a hug from Great Grandpa, unfortunately, I got my feet in the picture......and yes I should have cropped before I posted.
