Family Fun Day

What started out as a trip to the zoo, ended up being a trip down main street for Oktoberfest here in Garden. We enjoyed the cool (but windy) weather and a day spent just "messing around". There were some disappointed children since we never did make it to the zoo but face paints and sand art totally fixed that :)

Spider-Man

Thor

(Chris and I think he looks like Gimli from LOTR's)

Bekah also got her hair braided and sprayed pink

We tried really hard to get either Anah's face or arm painted and she wouldn't

The Baby Blessing!

Now I totally realize that this is actually old news to some of you but I didn't even bother trying to write a post or put up pictures until I was comfortably out of the "I feel like I am dying and haven't left the sofa for six weeks" stage of morning sickness :)

Here is my official release:

We are expecting another baby!!

These photos are technically outdated because I took them when I was 12 wks pregnant. Now I am somewhere between 15 & 16 wks now but I won't post current pictures till somewhere around 20 wks. Then hopefully I will scan in an ultrasound picture and be able to reveal if we are a having another drama queen or booger picker :)

I also have a future post in mind. With this pregnancy, we (Chris and I) have been confronted quite a bit with out apparent "lack of birth control" or our inability to figure out what keeps "causing this". Chris and I have had quite a change of heart when it comes to our family as a whole but I have not been able to express it on paper, in a way that I am pleased with. Until then, just ask me and I will give you the "in person, soapbox" version :)
