Its a ......

BOY!

I am sure that most of you have already heard but for those of you who have not.... We are very excitedly expecting our first boy. It came as a big surprise to me, after having 2 beautiful girls I just expected to have another one. We are thrilled and I think Alex is most of all. She has said all along that it was a boy. I guess next time I will listen to her!

This is his hand, We think that he has his daddy's long fingers.

This is the image that we saw the second that she put the wand to my belly. She did not even have to move it to see that it was a boy! I guess he did not like being called Elaina!

Look at these elephants!


On Fri Libby and I met Alex at the bus stop and headed down to the zoo for a little Halloween fun. It was a beautiful afternoon and we had a blast. Alex has just as much fun as Libby does. Poor Libby's teeth were bothering her the whole time, it did not make her grouchy, but she chewed her cheeks all day. Radio Disney was there and Alex had fun entering Libby in the costume contest. We only had about 2 1/2 hours there and I have to say it was perfect. We went trick or treating and saw all the things we wanted to! What a fun time with my girls!

Alex's violin recital

On Wed Alex had her first violin recital with her new teacher. I think that Alex had fun and of course we were very proud of her. Alex is really enjoying her new teacher. She misses Nana, but sometimes you just learn different things from different teachers.

Libby and her ice cream

Sorry that this is sideways, I have to remember not to film movies with my camera turned. Once it is done, I cannot change it.

I just had to put this video on here anyway. Libby got to have her very own ice cream cone at Nina and Grandpa's house the other night. She had a blast!! The pictures show the slow distruction of the ice cream, but boy was it yummy!

A day at the zoo with Nina

On a beautiful Friday afternoon, Libby and I went to the zoo with Nina. It was a lot of fun and a beautiful day. This was the first time that Libby really noticed the animals. She thought that most of them were dogs, but it is a start. She loved petting the goats, until she pulled on the nose of one and made it sneeze right in her face. Libby was very startled and began to cry, it was actually kind of funny. Lesson for the day; Don't pull a goat's nose, you might get more than you bargain for!

Family Fun!

A local church was having a family fun day, so we thought we would give it a try. It was a great day! The girls had a ton of fun, and there was just the right amount of stuff to do. And as you can see even something for the "big kid" !

A few weeks ago, it was a very nice day out so instead of play group meeting at someones house we met at the park. It was a beautiful day, but a short trip!
