Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I know we all have a lot to be thankful for this year and Joe, Leah and I look forward to another wonderful year.

Tag, I'm it!

Lettie has tagged me, so I am it. I'm supposed to find my 4th picture in my 4th file and post it.

This was taken when I was about 5 months pregnant. We were out shopping and noticed my belly looked almost exactly like the Gap Maternity mannequin. This was also the same day that I got my first comment from a stranger about being pregnant. A shoe salesman asked, "You go somethin' in there?" I wanted to tell him I just needed to burp.

So, to carry this on I have to tag 4 people. Sara, Debbie, Aminta (Ariana), & Alicia - you're it!

One sign you are around children a lot:
You have Farmer & the Dell stuck in your head all day instead of the hot new song on the radio.


Hi-ho the dairy-o, the farmer & the dell...

Before her haircut, long & messy.


After her haircut. She had to wear that shirt.

Sorry if this blog is boring, it's hard to think of what to write sometimes. We took Leah for her second haircut this weekend. The lady put Leah's sides up in two little pig tails when she was done & she looked like such a little girl! She is growing up so fast.

Last Friday (the 7th) we took Leah to see the ENT. Long story short, Leah's ears were still a little infected but he thought they would get better on their own. Well, we've heard that before. So this Friday when she woke up all snotty & yucky I took her in to the pediatrician and found out Leah has a double ear infection. She's had ear infections since the end of September. We are now scheduled to get tubes in her ears on December 2nd.

We are looking forward to Thanksgiving! This year we will host Joe's side of the family at our house and I am excited to see everyone. It should be a lot of fun! I can't believe it is Thanksgiving already, it seems like we were just going to the pool last weekend.

Joe turns 31 on Monday! Happy birthday, Joe!

This could get interesting

The babysitter has informed me that Leah has learned how to take her clothes off. She's been doing this during nap time. Her diaper is the next thing she will figure out.

Hmm, do they sell baby proofing kits for diapers?

Photo Wall Contest!

This project has been a year in the making. When we put our last house on the market, we took almost all of our pictures down because they say they can be distracting to potential buyers.

Last weekend I finally decided to put together the photo wall I had envisioned. I have seen some that are well done and others that were not my style. So, here it is. I think it turned out pretty well but it is not complete. I have one 4x6 that should come in the mail this week.

That means I still have one empty 4x6 frame! So please, if you want your picture on our photo wall or have a suggestion e-mail me or post it as a comment and maybe you will be the winner!

Happy Halloween!

Painting her pumpkin

All dressed up

Dancing with the pumpkins

Halloween was Friday and Leah dressed up as a fairy. She kept her costume on the entire night and helped up greet everyone at the front door. I took her around to a few of the neighbors to say hi, but we didn't go trick or treating. We'll save that for next year.

Leah painted her pumpkin on Wednesday and only tried to eat the paint 10 times. Some of it made it in her mouth but she didn't seem to mind the taste.

Besides that we had a pretty good week. We made yet another trip to the doctor on Thursday because Leah had a sore that looked pretty funny. Luckily it turned out to be nothing, but the pediatrician said she still has two ear infections. We go to see an ENT (ear, nose, throat) on Friday.
