At the end of September, we visited my in laws in Louisiana. We spent five days, and Oliver had a great time! Levi and I even slipped away to visit New Orleans again, and had a great time being together and reconnecting. Recharging, I guess. We don't get a lot of alone time these days.
The first weekend in October, we had our annual trip to the pumpkin patch! We go every year with our friends Stephanie and Robert and their little girl Ada. This was our second trip. Last year, we picked the absolute coldest day of the year to go, and had grumpy four and two month old babies. This year, we picked a gorgeous day, and had happy sixteen and fourteen month old babies! It was much improved.
Oliver looks super grumpy in a ton of my pictures, but I blame the sunshine. That, and possibly being a bit confused as to where we were and what all the huge orange things were. Once we got over to the smaller pumpkins, he yelled, "Ball!!", and had a blast. We even got a couple of smiles. =) Here are some of my favorite shots!
He's not really super grumpy. It was bright! This is my fave. =)
Family pic!
Handsome fella!
"I AM GONNA PICK UP THESE PUMPKINS SO HARD!!"
"DAD I GOT ONE!"
Finally got some smiles!
Baby is doing well. We have had five appointments so far, and five ultrasounds! This last one was for our NT test, which normally I would have skipped, but I wanted Levi to get to see another ultrasound. The one he saw was boring, and then he missed an exciting one, so I wanted him to see what was going on. We got a great little pic of our little one!
I love the little fist! Adorable. We weren't able to tell the gender at this u/s (the tech tried but couldn't get the money shot!), so keep your eyes peeled for that revelation in another seven weeks or so. =)
Saturday we're having the guys over for Nerd Day. The fellas get together once a month to play nerdy board games (the ones they can't trick us wives into playing), and it's our turn to host again. I love having people over! We live a good thirty minutes to an hour away from all but like, two, of our friends, so no one ever wants to drive all the way out here. So when folks come, I go all out! I am making sausage and cheese balls, meatballs, cheesy chicken empanadas, and chicken salad tassie cups. I tried to make foods the guys could eat with one hand while still playing their game...because the good Lord knows they can't take a lunch break! I'm not a big baker, so I bought Oatmeal Creme Pies and Nutty Bars for dessert. Yum!
K. Bed time. I'm an old pregnant woman, you know. Night!
