Newest Ultrasound PIctures

In this picture she has her mouth open, trying to stick her tongue out.
Looks like she's sucking her thumb?!

Here are some of the pictures they were able to get this morning. They had a hard time getting her without her hands in her face. I think we have another thumb sucker in our midst. Hopefully I'm wrong. : )

Curly Hair for Church

The girls wanted to have curls for church on Sunday, so I put sponge rollers in their hair. I was not expecting them to stay in their hair all night. Kate managed to keep all of hers in and Anna took out some during the night. Beauty is painful sometimes.

I have decided not to send out Christmas Cards this year. I'll post some Christmas pictures here and on Face book instead. I may even email some out. But it is just not happening this year. Here are some pictures I could have used... : )

Anna's serious painting face. She spent 45 painting her two pumpkins
Kate played more with her paint than anything but it kept her busy for 30 minutes.


Yes ,Kate is playing in a ditch. Technically it is part of a protected waterway that eventually drains into the river. But really it only has water in it when it rains, so its a ditch. But doesn't it look like a nice little woodland stream?

The girls and I at Annemarie Garden.

Playing Checkers at Forrest Hill Farm. I have bought some of the best apples I've ever eaten here. So delicious. They also sell pies and homemade pumkin and apple doughnuts. So you see we have had to make several trips to visit.

The girls and I met some friends at Annemarie Garden fro Halloween at the Garden. Its basically trick or treating at different booths throughout the walking path. It nicely decorated and you don't have to worry about cars. There is a $1 admission fee that goes to a local food pantry. It is now a yearly tradition for us. Anna went at a bride or in her words a "Weddin' Girl". Kate was Little Red Riding Hood. Kate was so Big and walked the whole time. She was so exhausted she didn't make it home before falling asleep.
