Can you believe that Christmas is FIVE weeks away?? I know this because I am due in 4 1/2weeks. That is insane to me. Soon to be a family of five. I am a little stressed, but not so much for the baby as I am about decorating for christmas, finishing my shopping, getting the house ready for a baby...lots to do. I'm feeling pretty good, aside from getting a little tired from carrying around a baby in my body. I don't know why, but I feel like this one will be my biggest one yet - just a feeling I have. That, and the fact that my kids got progressively bigger each time. (Blake was 8 lbs 9 oz!) I am fully expecting a 9 pounder this time.

This tutu has been a part of every day wear for this little girl. She and I lately...let's just say I am having a hard time letting her do everything by herself - which she insists upon - all because I don't want to deal with a mess. I am fully aware that I am in the wrong. It's just been hard for me to relinquish control. B, for the record, was never this stubborn!

And she has just discovered how fun it is to twirl in dresses and tutus. So cute.

This past weekend I got to take a trip back to Vancouver - by myself!! - to visit my parents. (Thanks again to my awesome husband for holding down the fort!) It was a quick visit, so I apologize to all those people I didn't get to hang out with. While I was there, my mom and I made a whole bunch of these cute fabric flowers for x-mas decorations and hair bows. My mom made this super cute bow for Blake, which she loves.


Me at 35 weeks. Not a great pic, but pretty good considering B took it!



B's turkey craft he made at preschool. He was so torn because he wanted to show Dave, but didn't want to have to wait until he got home to eat it. So we solved the problem by taking a picture of it.

There are no words. At least it's a cute pic of Blake, right?

My kids at the peak of their boredom the other day. You can't see it, but B was holding a light saber. While wearing a Batman cape. And Blake with as many "pretty" things as she could put on her body. Such a fitting picture for both of them.
