Its October 29th and we are having our second snowfall of the year. We got a 1/2 inch or so 2 days ago and now there is a possibility of 3 inches today and through the night. Not quite what we were expecting for October :) However, the snow is beautiful. Its falling in jumbo snowflakes which are by far my favorite kind. It is really coming down now. At this rate, I think 3 inches is certainly a possibility!
So, my parents are here visiting. Wasn't it so nice of us to provide snow for them :) We have mostly been relaxing and hearing all about their trip to Greece. They literally left their house for ours less than 24 hrs after they arrive home from Greece! My parents are a little nutty :) That's one of the reasons we love them though!! The kids have been enjoying playing solitaire on the computer with Granddad and just being silly with him and Grandma.
Nora had her Halloween parade on Thursday. My parents and I went to watch her march and then sing a few songs. It didn't go so well. Nora had part of her costume on and walked around the circle very hesitantly, with her hand up by her face. When she saw me, she started crying and didn't want to walk anymore. One of the teachers had to carry her. Then when it came time to sing, she did make a peep. She sat there looking sad and trying not to smile. What a pathetic little thing. It certainly didn't make for very good pictures, that's for sure! Oh well - reminds me of her older brother when he was that age...
Eben has a Trunk or Treat "party" tomorrow, but who knows if it will actually happen and how many people will show up if there is a bunch of snow on the ground. All I can say is if it gets canceled, I'm going to have 300 pieces of candy to pawn off on someone. Ok, so I'll eat a lot of it, but still - just because I'm pregnant doesn't mean I can eat like a pig! I'll tell ya, being pregnant through Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter is NOT a good thing. I'm avoiding the scale this pregnancy. Usually when my pregnancy journal has a page to record weight and waist size I would do it. I just don't think I want to this time :)
We have been tossing around names, but not for sure on anything - well, maybe the girl name, but since we both think its a boy, we have some work to do. Our ultrasound is Jan 4th, so until we know what we're having, I think we'll just sit on what we have. The baby is now about 1 1/2 inches but looks almost like a mini baby already. The arms and legs have to grow a little more before its proportionate. Its so amazing that he/she looks just like a baby yet its so teeny tiny. God does some amazing work!
I'll post some Halloween pics of the kids soon (as long as we can get Nora to wear her costume...)
Enveloped in a winter wonderland,
