Fall decorations

Jenny has began to decorate our house for fall. This is the centerpiece of the living room!



Stay tuned! More pictures and details at 11!

26 1/2 Weeks and counting

Our bellies are at 26 1/2 weeks and doing well! We thought we'd take a little comparison picture for your entertainment.

Sorry it has been awhile since we've posted! It has been busy busy busy around here. Our last doctors appointment was about 2 weeks ago, baby Caroline continues to grow like a weed. Her kicks are starting to get a little more fierce...especially after a big meal. We like to play music for her, read to her, and just talk to her all the time. She really responds to the music...our personal favorite is Elvis's rendition of "Sweet Caroline". The dance moves are priceless!

Jenny's Baptism

Jenny was baptized this evening in the waters of Bunnells Run, which is a tributary of the North Fork of the Hughes River, just outside of Harrisville.

She was one of six candidates who joined our church through the waters of baptism.

The family will see Madeline get baptized next weekend in Nashville, Tennessee.

Thanks to my sister Jill for the video!

85 percent sure it is a GIRL!

Here are the pictures of our first ultrasound! The technician was 85% sure we have a little girl. We got to see all four chambers of her heart, two arms, two legs, elbows, knees and little pigs. According to the measurements, she put our due date at December 9, give or take ten days. Dr. King had said December 6, so they are close. Heart rate was around 138 and the little girl was very active. Apparently she did not care for being roused from a nap! She must take that from her mom.

Abby and Callie

Say hello to the loudest and nosiest cats on the planet. They talk and fight with each other at 3am at the foot of the bed and under the bed; they splash all the water in their water bowls onto the floor; they open closet and pantry doors; they bang on closet doors at 5am until we wake up to feed them; and they barge in on us while we are in the bathroom. Jealous?

Well, we've been making improvements to our home since the day we moved into it. Last year, the big project was tearing up our unforgettable pink carpet and replacing it with lovely hardwood floors. Our most recent project has been painting our living room, dining room, and hallway. We also bought some new curtains. It has definitely changed the room, to say the least. We love it!

Exciting Friday Night...

We are spending the evening at home. Friday nights in Harrisville are uneventful to say the least. Jenny is making brownies and cookies for our church's "Helping Hands" free dinner and I am preparing for a long day tomorrow helping with the Harrisville High School Alumni Parade and activities.
