Day 2

Yesterday we made our footprint/ hand print reindeer. I was going to use paint but Logan would have freaked out! And surprisingly he let me trace his hands and his feet for the first time without a fuss so this craft was fun for all of us!

I also gave them their Christmas Jammies. Of course they were matching and the boys loved that Santa was on them!

25 days of Christmas

We decided to start a new family tradition this year. We are going to do some kind of Christmas activity or craft every day until Christmas. Along with that, we will be reading a different Christmas story before bedtime every night.

Last night we made our foam Gingerbread house. Logan didn't get into it at first, but slowly caught on. Jacob loved it. He loves all things Christmas. Every morning he goes to the window and asks if it snowed yet. Luckily for him, we should have flurries tomorrow ;)

I'm going to try and post everyday, but we'll see how that goes.

It's a......

Well we decided to find out what we are having afterall. Brad and I rescheduled our ultrasound for this week and decided not to tell anyone. It was extremely hard not telling my mom because I wanted to scream "We're gonna know soon!!!!"

We went into the office and the tech was focusing on the babies face most of the time because that's what my midwife ordered. He/She has the cutest little face and little nose. He/She likes to suck their thumb already and is curled up nicely in mommy's belly.

Finally it was time to look between the legs. I was so nervous! I knew I would have been happy with whatever we saw, but I was still so nervous! At first she could get the baby to open it's legs.
And then....there it was.....clear as day.....

The newest member of our house.....will be a little princess named Emmerson <3

We are over the moon excited!! Brad is still in shock! Jacob can't stop talking about his baby sister named Emmerson that we can call Emme, too!

Boo at the Zoo

Today was Boo at the Zoo. We headed over right after preschool and to Jake's surprise he saw his teacher there. He was so excited!!

The boys did better than I expected this year, although Logan would keep his feet or his hat on, but at least the costume wasn't a big deal to him :)

Enjoy!

Pumpkin Patch fun!

We went to Trabbic Family Farm on Saturday for our annual pumpkin patch trip. We missed out last year because of Logan's nursing habits but the year before that it was pretty mild. We were all in sweatshirts, but this year was much different. It was freezing! We weren't there for long because poor little Logan was freezing his butt off! We rode the pumpkin train, visited the animals and then headed inside to pay for our pumpkins, cider and donuts.

Although it was cold, the boys had a blast and slept really good for nap time :) This week comes our ultrasound tomorrow morning, Boo at the Zoo, Mom's night out Halloween party and trick or treating Saturday night!! Fun Fun!

Jacob's first movie

Jacob and I went on our first little date on Saturday. We went to see Spookly the Square pumpkin. I didn't grab him one of the little boosters they had for the kids so he kept falling in the chair but he loved it! He kept grabbing my hand and saying "Mommy, I love movies" and when we were done he asked me if we go on another date again. These are the little moments that I love.

Fall 2009

Well fall 2009 has started off down right cold!! I can't believe my boys are wearing winter coats, hats and mittens already!!

We have an exciting next couple of weeks ahead of us. This week Jacob has a field trip to the pumpkin farm, then we are going to our favorite pumpkin farm on Saturday as a family. My brother comes home on Sunday and we couldn't be more excited about it! It has been 6 months!!

And then we find out what little squish is going to be on Tuesday!! I am beyond excited, no matter what this baby is! I just want to put a name to the little bumps and kicks I am receiving inside my belly!

October is one of my favorite months so look for lots and lots of pictures from all the activities will be participating in!!
