Happy Fall!

Aunt Carol took the above photo of Sarah with Raggedy Andy.

It is hard to believe that fall is here! Little Baby Twiggy is 11 weeks and I'm feeling much better; back to working out and cooking.

We had a wonderful visit with Aunt Carol and Beth. We got to share a few meals together and do some fall & holiday dress shopping for Sarah at Janie & Jack. Beth got Sarah a beautiful straw hat and summer dress for Mackinac. The best part was that they surprised me with a matching dress for a baby (if the baby is a girl). Just want to be prepared.

I have some cute videos of Sarah to post but need to go to Glamma's to upload them.

Today at the park, Sarah climbed the steps and went down the little slide all by herself (I was close by just in case:-)) She did it about a hundred times.

BIG NEWS!

I know that it has been some time since my last post but I have a very good excuse:-) We found out a few weeks ago that Sarah is going to be a big sister! I'm due April 17th.

Last week, I definitely felt pregnant with some tiredness. It also happened to be the week that the little peanut decided that one morning nap would do so I couldn't lay down in the afternoons.

We had lots of fun telling the family. We were up in Toledo two weeks ago and had Sarah put on a shirt that said big sister. The video of Grama Sue finding out is priceless! Sarah already has her Halloween costume thanks to Grama Sue. She is going to be a ladybug. It is so hard to get a good photo of her in it because she buzzes right along and doesn't stop to pose.

We're amazed at Sarah's language developing each day. Some new favorites are oh-no (when she drops something or something spills) and nana for Glamma. The pool is still one of her favorite activities and we're trying to go as much as possible before the pool closes labor day weekend.

I'll keep everyone posted when we update our blog address.
