Busy

What have we been up to? I think the question should be, "what haven't we been up to?". It's been really busy around here with Noel having extra services to plan, trying to organize shopping/mailing Christmas presents in a place where little shopping exists, going to the doctor, being pregnant, etc. Thank goodness my mom is here for a couple more days! Our freezer is now filled with meals and baked goods, we enjoyed a delicious turkey dinner today, and we actually WENT OUT FOR DINNER the other night (without the kids) for the first time since we lived here thanks to her! Whoa. It was great. Here are a few pictures from today.


Hazel's new favorite ride.

Hazel is GREAT at walking behind her car. She still isn't standing on her own, but boy can she walk fast behind this thing! We go round and round and round the couch. Hopefully she'll be walking on her own soon! Jude is just starting to push his car slowly.

Jude loves it too!

Family photo for grandma since I decided not to wear sweat pants today. :)

The kids are growing and changing so much! They are babbling a ton, but have no actual words yet. I think they're both close though! They are eating up a storm (especially Jude) and it feels like they are eating constantly (still 6-7 times a day)...seriously?!?!?! Someday we'll get to the larger quantity less times per day. They have the "larger quantity" down. They just still want to eat all the time. At least they're eating! And not barfing! They are early to rise and early to bed (which isn't really our style, but there's nothing we can do about it). Down at 6ish and up at 6ish. Ugh. They love making funny faces and Hazel is constantly playing peek-a-boo (at the table with her bib, on the changing table with her shirt, on the floor by putting her head down, etc.).

On a different note, I went to the doctor on Friday (25 weeks 4 days) and things are looking great. Praise God! We are so thankful and continue to pray for this pregnancy and new life.
