Fairy Dust

Lots of fun today using all of my makeup to play dress up as a fairy!

Annie

Yesterday was a fun day for the girls. We had beautiful weather (although I would like it to get colder now that Christmas is almost here) so mom and I took Adi to Caper Acres. She learned how to swing all by herself during recess at school and it's all she talks about. Sure enough, when we got to the park she headed straight for the swings. Wow - she really does go high! Then it was lunch and nap for Adi, shopping for me, and daddy was busy cleaning the garage, hanging the Christmas lights, and decorating the tree (which looks great)!

Finally mom and I took Adi to dinner at La Hacienda and then to see the Annie musical. Her first musical and she just loved it. She sang along to the songs and was mesmerized by Annie. She even got Annie's autograph after the show! It was so cute. We didn't get home until after 10:00 and she conked out pretty quick and slept until 9:45 this morning!

Let's Get Cookin'

We finally got Adi tonight after over a week without her. We seriously missed her so much. She talked our ears off for the first hour and then got busy with her toys. I began cooking for Thanksgiving tonight and Adi wanted to help. She pretends to cook with me by making her special "soup" (a mixture of water, sugar, coffee and various spices). We are heading to my parent's tomorrow morning to help mom cook the feast. Lance and dad are going golfing and will be home in time for the Dallas game. Should be a great day.

The Deer vs. The Car

While driving home from our recent trip to the coast, we hit a big buck. Luckily no one was hurt (except for the poor deer) but our car is pretty banged up. We obviously have to get it repaired and I will be without my baby for almost 2 weeks! I hate rental cars!

The Belly

Here are some pictures of my ever-growing belly. We are so excited for our baby boy to arrive - it's getting so close now!

November Coast Trip

We had so much fun at the coast a couple of weeks ago. The kids played and played, the dogs ran and ran, and the rest of us, well, we just tried to relax amidst all of the chaos. We enjoyed long walks every day on the path that runs along the water, did some shopping and lots of eating! This was probably our last trip to the coast for some time, and next time we will have our "little man" with us (just to add to the chaos some more)!

Here We Go

Well, this is my first blog ever so hang in there with me until I figure it all out. My dear friend, Kimberly, suggested the idea to me. I think it's a great way to keep our far away friends and family closer to us by updating it throughout the month so you can see what kind of trouble we are getting into here in California....
