Thanksgiving and Other November Events

Like most months, November went so fast! We have had a good month and had lots of time with our friends and family!

Thanksgiving morning with Addi and Sam

We had a great Thanksgiving and got to spend it with both sides of our family, the morning with Adam's family at Jay's house in Dunlap, and the afternoon with my family at my parent's in Morton. My grandma who will be 81 this year plus 3 of my aunts and their families also came. We got lots of quality time with the Boekers in (and are getting sad that their move is approaching) and spent lots of time together at our home. I love holidays and love family get togethers. Now soooo excited that the Christmas season has begun!

Baby Boy!

We found out yesterday that our baby is a boy!!! I was almost certain it would be a girl, I guess because my pregnancy has been so similar to when I was pregnant with Gwen, but I was wrong! I am so excited to see how having a boy compares to a girl.

Besides finding the sex out, everything looked great and healthy! I got a lot of comments about how he can't sit still and he's busy...just like with Gwen. I also feel him moving around a ton...just like with Gwen. If this is an indication of what he will be like once he is born, I think I will have TWO very busy, very active, young ones to keep their mom very busy :) Can't wait!

Kitchens Kitchens Kitchens

We have been spending a lot of time at kitchen stores. There is so much to pick out; cabinets, floors, counters, sinks, faucets, hardware, appliances, etc. Gwen HATES these errands, haha. Our visits to these stores usually start out okay, then she starts getting bored and starts whining in the cart, then we give her a toy and she gets bored, then we give her a snack and she gets bored, then we finally resort to letting her run loose. We always leave stores with her looking like a complete rugrat-black hands and knees from playing on the gross floors, food usually on her face, clothes dirty, hair messy, the whole works. There is one store, however, that she can NOT get enough of and is sad when it's time to leave....

This store has an 11 week old puppy that comes to work with the owners. Gwen LOVES to play with it and they chase eachother around. Lucky for us, this is the place that we are buying from, so I hope they keep bringing that dog to work for our future visits. Isn't it cute??? Makes me think maybe we should get another puppy :)

Ironically, this is where she goes to sit when we get home, ontop of her kitchen. Maybe I should get her a potty chair for when we start picking out bathroom items.
