Happy Halloween

It doesn't really feel like Halloween, the kids have costumes but that's it... no pumpkins, no decorations, nothing. Note to self, at least carve a pumpkin next year. We're going to a trunk-or-treat tonight for the kids which will be Liam's first real Halloween experience (we dressed him up last year but he was only 4 months old). So we've got Snow White (because Emma loves princesses) & Frankenstein (cute & not scary in the slightest) this year. I need to take pictures of the kiddos in their costumes tonight because I forgot to do it at the ward Halloween party a couple weeks ago. We're booing Nestle this year, its amazing how many products they manufacture or are associated with especially all the Halloween candy.

15 weeks pregnant today :) I mostly feel okay now but still have some rough days. We're enjoying the beautiful weather, cool crisp nights & lovely sunny days. I've been doing a lot of research lately, maybe I'll actually get around to sharing some of it here soon :) Have a safe & happy Halloween.

No News is Good News

If I'm not posting often then life is good but busy.

A few quick things:

12 week prenatal check up today (I'm 11 weeks 5 days actually) & everything is good, baby has a good heartbeat & my morning sickness is starting to go away :)

Liam is starting to use a few words consistently & a couple simple ASL signs.

Emma is becoming much more descriptive & eloquent, she knows her colors pretty well now.

Liam is cutting 4 more teeth (YIKES!) after this we're done until the 2 year molars come in.

We had a great time at the 1st Annual Santa Cruz Scottish Games, attending our friend's wedding & enjoying the Celtic Faire. Emma & Liam had their first concert experience at the outdoor concert. Tempest was performing, both kids have listened to them since they were in the womb so it was a lot of fun & Emma danced quite a bit.

I've made progress on Liam's quilt :) & I should be able to finish it before Christmas :) I also started knitting some legwarmers for Emma (my 1st knitting project) & so far so good, the stripes turned out nicely.

So that's our last two weeks interspersed with a couple rounds of kids vomiting (nothing like having to strip bedding & do laundry in the middle of the night :P ). Less than a month until Halloween, a busy rest of the week, costume to make for Liam, aspirations of baking, house cleaning to do... no rest for the weary.
