Trick or Treat

Though this may look like a wrestling move, it's actually a hug.

Our sweet fire fighter.  Anthony really liked trick or treating this year, and the candy he piled up has been a great help in potty training!

All things fall

Muscles

Mesmerized

By Uncle Ryan's new tv....Anthony wasn't looking at the camera for any of these pics. But at least the other kids look cute!

It's a girl!

I am 22 weeks pregnant now and we found out that we are having a girl!  We are really excited and wonder how different a girl will be from the wild boy that we have.  I have suggested over a hundred names and Jared has said no to each one.  Not sure if we are ever going to agree on a name....good thing we have a few weeks left.  I seem to have a lot more energy these days and am definitely nesting like crazy.  We have a lot of re-decorating and re-organizing projects going on in the house right now.  I need to post a good pic of my belly but it's hard to get a decent profile shot in the wheelchair.  Jared weighed me this week (just imagine him holding me on our at home scale and also trying to read the number - it was quite comical and he is quite strong!) and I'm not even up to my pre-pregnancy weight with Anthony.  Super happy about that as I certainly had some pounds to lose! ha!  Let's hope the rest of the pregnancy continues to be uneventful and goes quickly.
