Thanksgiving 2010

We had a great Thanksgiving week in Birmingham, visiting with family and friends. I have a TON of pictures, but I'll try to to over whelm you!

A special thanks to our dear friends the Phelps for hosting all of us for the week. It was so great to get that extra hang out time with you guys! It was also great to finally get to meet Miss Avery- Georgia was in love with her! She's a "little tiny baby" Georgia would tell us! Now she's hoping another "little tiny baby" girl like Avery is growing in mommy's tummy!

She also loved having another little guy around- and I think she found Logan a bit more snuggly than her own little brother!

We got to join Emmie, and her parents Jeremy & Michelle for lunch...

And spend a fun evening with the deVilleneuve's, Brooms and Wrights!

Aunt Heather and Nana joined us at Pump It Up for some fun one morning!

It was great to spend some good time with the family! Uncle T, Uncle Jon, Jaclyn, me and Aunt Heather

Georgia shared her coloring with great-Grannie.

Loved this pic- where's Avery?!

Thank you all for sharing your time with us! We are so Thankful for such sweet family and friends and our time with you! We love you and miss you!!

Another Hippo in the Herd

If that title sounds familiar, I think it's the same thing I said when I announced we were expecting Lincoln... So, Yes- you guessed it! If you haven't heard,

we are Expecting Baby #3!!

We decided why not keep the chaos coming! ;)

We are very excited about this little one, who should be making an appearance into the world around June 20, 2011. That makes me just over 13 weeks along. I am feeling better- the first trimester was rougher than I experienced with either of the first 2 kiddos. I was just very nausous all day, didn't even like to make meals let alone eat, and exhausted. Now I'm getting some of my energy back and my appetite is coming back- as Larry would probably agree as he watched me take down half a jar of sweet pickles last night right before bed! I don't know- they just tasted really good!

Here are some pictures of the newest member of our family that I got today-

Big sister Georgia and Big brother Lincoln seem excited about the new little one. Georgia really seems to understand and asks every day if God is still growing the baby in my tummy. She shares her blanket with the baby (my belly) during our story at bedtime and will only carefully hug from from the side so she doesn't squish the baby. I'm amazed she understands so much when I don't even have a baby belly as a visual yet! Here are the shirts they wore to tell Grammie and Grandad the big news:

I'm the Big Sister AGAIN & Not the Baby ANYMORE

I'm way behind on other blogging- Thanksgiving, Lincoln's 2nd Birthday, Firetrucks, Aunt Heather's UA graduation... hopefully I'll catch up at some point now that my body is not demanding 2 hour naps every afternoon! But had to get this great and exciting news out to you!!

A Preschool Thanksgiving

Georgia's little preschool had an adorable Thanksgiving program before school let out for Thanksgiving week. The 3-year old class were Pilgrims and the 4-year olds were Indians. They sang several songs, including our favorite:

I'm glad I'm not a turkey, a turkey, a turkey

I'm glad I'm not a turkey on Thanksgiving Day.

Why?

They... stuff you and bake you and then they all TASTE you!

I'm glad I'm not a turkey on Thanksgiving day!

After the singing and dancing the kiddos got to enjoy a "feast" of chicken nuggets, grapes, carrots and pumpkin cupcakes! We are very thankful for our sweet school!!

Curious Georgia & The Boy with the Yellow Hat

We took our Halloween ideas right off the pages of our favorite bedtime stories- Curious George. Lincoln and Georgia both love to hear about the adventures and mishaps of one silly little monkey and his friend, the Man with the yellow hat. The kids had fun dressing up and even more fun collecting candy. By the end of the night when the candy bowl would be offered out to them at a house, they were grabbing handfuls like little candy monsters! A little embarrassing to mommy, but all in the fun of Halloween!

Lincoln's hat was a little big so we had to turn it sideways, or it would fall over his eyes! Daddy was not too pleased his boy was walking around in a "sparkly hat" all night- but it was yellow! ;) I particularly liked Lincoln's "boots" (daddy's socks folded over)!

Hope you had a fun Halloween!

Punkin Carvin

Georgia and Daddy carved our pumpkin on Saturday afternoon- Lincoln wanted no part of that gooey mess! But daddy & Georgia dug in and made an awesome Jack O' Lantern for our front steps! And mommy got to enjoy her favorite part- yummy roasted pumpkin seeds!
