update shmupdate

three weeks and counting and all is well! :) that's my pregnancy update. if i started going on about how uncomfortable i am this wouldn't be fun for anyone to read. ha. but, really, i'm doing great. i am anxious for her arrival and am praying that she'll come a bit early for us and not too late. why? well, because...

...damian flies out on the 17th to go get the girls! talk about cutting things close (my due date is the 14th). but i know it will work out one way or another so i'm not stressed one bit. at least not right now, maybe on the 15th i'll have a different outlook. check back with me then. ha.

we are very excited for the girls to be here --especially madeline. both shelby and raylee are coming this time. yay! they'll be here through christmas eve. it's going to be a full house with 5 kids. we'll just all have to cozy up. :)

anyway, that's about all i have to report for now! the graham crackers in the cupboard and frosting in the fridge are both calling for me to unite them. yum yum.

happy thanksgiving!!!

a walk in the rain

the best days to go visit the ducks and fish at the pond are rainy days!
i don't know why i took a pic of these two canadian geese. they're so common here, it's like taking a picture of a cockroach in north carolina. ha! ;)

the spaghetti has TOO MUCH SAUCE!!!

this is why we don't bathe the kids until AFTER dinner!

random kid pictures

halloween costumes

here's princess ariel:

and mr. moustache (he had the BEST costume that we made out of a paper bag, but he wanted nothing to do with it, go figure): so there ya' go. halloween 2009. :)

pictures shmictures

here are some random pictures from this past month. first, damian and me:

and here's my dad with 3 of his 7 and counting (both my sister and i are preggers) grandchildren:

mom & maddie watching cartoons, well at least maddie is:

here i am, waking up & finding maddie fast asleep on me:

damian with the kiddos:

another sleepy picture of the kids:

maddie got up, but noel actually fell asleep right there on the floor:

most of these pictures are of someone asleep or looking like they need a nap! ha. i just noticed that as i wrote the captions. well, i guess that's about right considering that we have so many narcoleptics in the family. :)
