H-A-Double L-O-W-Double E-N Spells HALLOWEEN!

Halloween is one of those holidays that you love as a kid, forget about for a while, and then try to recapture your youth, living vicariously through your sugar-crazed, wide-eyed little ones.

This year was no different, we went out for about an hour, and left a bowl of candy on the front porch for the other neighborhood kids. (The sign read: "Take a small hand full, and ma-woooove along, lest your be cursed!)

Jared was dressed as the Human Torch from the Fantastic Four, and Brady was the Red Power Ranger. Jen, well I am not sure what her costume was supposed to be but she sure was cute! I do not know who the freak in the mask is supposed to be either, but there are some possibilities. (hey, that's two posts in a row with an unnamed, masked man.)

Its a girl!

The last visit to the doctor revealed that we are in fact having a baby girl! The entire family is very excited to welcome our new addition this spring. There are not any great photos from that visit so I won't bore you with uninterpretable ultrasound images. She did not want to be photographed as she was face and belly down and in a breach position, it took nearly 10 minutes to get the verdict, very nerve-racking!We are still working on a name, so feel free to leave your suggestions below!

Long awaited update

Hi everyone, sorry for the long time between posts. It has been a very busy month. Jen has been working very hard with her PTA duties, and keeping us all on time and on track. The boys are working very hard with their school work and cub scouts. (camping trip next weekend!). They also have joined back up with the choir at our church. They love to sing, and share their mom's gift of a lovely voice!

I have been looking for a hobby lately, and helping out with the PTA is very rewarding, as can be seen in the slide show below. Can you guess who that might be in the giant cow costume?

Jen is 17 weeks along, and the baby is doing great. We had a sonogram two weeks ago, and more tests, all is well. We will be finding out if the baby will be in pink or blue on Oct 29th!
