getting back into the swing of things...

We had a great time seeing family and celebrating the holidays and are slowly adjusting to being home. The trip definitely took it's toll on this pregnant lady and poor Sydney came down with a cold and fever almost immediately when we got home. So, the week has been spent seeing doctors (chiropractor, my regular check up, and for Syd) and slowly unpacking and hopefully soon some undecorating of the Christmas tree :) On the pregnancy front, the baby is doing well, growth and heart rate were right on target and his growth is definitely slowing my pace! Just over 9 weeks to go...how is that possible?? it's going so fast!!
Below are some pics of our time. Unfortunately, my camera was having flash issues or something in PA so I don't have very many pics there :(

No trip to Gigi's house is complete without a
dance party with uncle PC (aka Nick) in the kitchen
of all the choices at a party store, Sydney wanted a "Cars"
birthday cake :)
hard to believe our little girl is 4!!

Christmas Ornaments

Sydney and I had a great time yesterday making Christmas ornaments! Below are pictures of the fun we had making Cinnamon Applesauce Ornaments and Salt Dough Ornaments......



She did such a good job, I hardly had to help
her at all!


And to continue the homemade Christmas fun, here are pics of the Sweater Stockings I made for us this year....
Now I just need to find the motivation to make the last one for the baby so I don't have to worry about making it next year :). Once we decide on a name for the baby I'm going to get some kind of letter ornament on each of them.

In the next couple weeks I'm going to try and conquer making homemade goodies and candies with lots of new recipes I haven't tried before...we'll see how that goes :)

week in photos...

well, not much to show for our week! We all spent most of the week sick and although we did have a great thanksgiving with Josh's brother and his family, I forgot to take pictures! So here are a couple from this weekend......

(which we've had up since last Saturday :)


and here is a pic of my progressively growing belly...been meaning to post the progress for a while but kept forgetting!  And I have to say, I feel WAY bigger than I look in that last picture :) Only 15 more weeks to go until we get to meet our little guy!
