Snuggle and Cuddle!

When it gets cold, the kids and I LOVE to snuggle and cuddle under blankets. It's becoming quite a tradition!

Even our kitty, Symmetry, will join in sometimes.

Lovin' on our cousin

Leah and Malachi thoroughly LOVE Gabriel. They can't leave him alone! They both want to be BIG helpers for me and have to touch him.

Gentle, Malachi!

Gabriel doesn't seem to mind their touches.

Leah LOVES to be the BIG cousin!

Halloween!

What are we dressed as?

What a busy day! We went to the zoo with my mom, aunt, Nana, Papa, & NINE children (my children and all their cousins!). It was such a great day and a wonderful time for my Nana to be a part! For our evening, we went to our block's carnival, my sister's carnival, and trick-or-treating to certain friends and family's doors. It was quite a full day and night! Now our kids have TOO much candy and Jason and I are trying to figure out how to eliminate some without them noticing. Can you guess what Leah and Malachi are? (Tinkerbell and Elmo)

Daddy's and Mommy's Pumpkins

There's a heart beat!

Leah came with me to my ultrasound appointment and got to hear the heart beat and see the baby on the screen. She was very curious and had lots of questions. Leah is very excited for this baby to come and is wondering how many more days. Boy, we have a long road ahead of us! After the appointment, she shared with her daddy and aunt that she saw the baby, heard the heart beat, and said specifically that "My mommy's baby is real and alive!" She's hoping for a sister, but we keep reminding her that it is not in our control. Please continue to pray that everything goes fine and that God can give us a peace through this season. I, Deb, am very nervous and trying to hope for the best. We still haven't reached the safe zone!

Leah's Field Trip

Leah enjoyed her first field trip to the fire station. She couldn't believe how big those trucks really were when she got up close to it. She also enjoyed meeting real firemen!

A Special Family Night

Well, Jason and I took the kids out one night to let them ride a Merry-Go-Round. They were SO excited to ride it. We went a couple times. It got Jason and I pretty dizzy! It didn't phase the kids at all.
