Christmas Parties

This picture is for my mom....we had Andy's Christmas party on Thursday evening and mine was on Friday. We had a great time at both. (plus I scored my dress at H& M for 20 pounds!)

32 weeks

Wow-didn't think I was this big!

Stroller Woes

We put together the stroller over the weekend and had a little trouble. We have heard this is just the beginning!

Success!!

29 weeks

Didn't think I looked that big until I saw this picture.....but the Dr. said I am measuring about 2 cm small, but she is not worried about it. Only gained 15 pounds so far...not too bad I think!

25 Weeks

Growing slowly, although the Dr. said I am right on track!

It's a girl!!!!

Just in case you hadn't heard! :-)

Wales and Chester

Over Labor Day weekend we drove up to Chester and Northern Wales. We stayed halfway the first night and spent Saturday in Chester. We then went into Wales to a beautiful Bed and Breakfast that seemed like it was in the middle of nowhere. Our hosts were great and the food was so good. On Sunday we went to 2 castles as well as a Victorian seaside town. Monday we went to a really small castle then headed slowly home, making a stop at a basket shop. We had great weekend-it was so nice to get away!

Our Favorite castle-Conwy Castle

It was so cold and windy-typical for northern Wales

We had a great 1 1/2 hour personal tour that made the castle come alive!

On the way home we stopped at a basket shop where they have been weaving their own baskets for over 100 years. Andy got to try and they wanted everyone to know we were in Wales so they gave us a Welsh flag and insisted it be in the picture!

Andy actually did a good job- we bought 2 baskets- one was a dog bed-but Andy didn't weave those!

This is Caernarfon Castle-one of the most famous in Wales.

The big guns!

LOTS of stairs!

Another view from the inside-you can really see how huge it is!

This is the town of Chester, near the boarder of Wales. It is a beautiful Elizabeathan city with great buildings. (as you can see in the background)

For Glenna and Jessica

Here is me at 16 weeks. Sorry Glenna and Jessica for taking so long. So it is not a huge bump, the Dr. said it will take awhile since I am so tall. Other than a little heartburn I am doing great. We are looking forward to finding out the sex in about 4-6 weeks.

Thanksgiving in Paris

We went to Paris for Thanksgiving and had a great time. It was very cold, but we had one really beautiful day.

Nieces and Nephews

I went home for a week in November to visit my grandma who had a stroke. While I was there I saw all my kiddos. I missed my the birth of my newest nephew by 3 days, so I was bummed about that, but I did get to see Malia-who was 8 months old. I don't have any pictures of her but she is super cute!
