Hark! Yon House!

Ben has always been a big decorator of houses for the holidays. He use to hang up Christmas lights for a business and his parent's house could be seen the instant you turned the corner because of all the lights. We have never put up lights at our first house, but this year over his Thanksgiving Break, Ben spent the weekend decorating our home. Here is a picture of what it looks like at night. I think it turned out very classy. In case you can't tell, we have two clear lights and then one red light on the house. Then we have some lighted garland with red bows hanging from our porch and two big red bows on our front porch columns. There are also four small lighted pine trees lining the path up to our door. Best of all, all of these lights are on timers to automatically come on when it gets dark! This ensures that we always have our lights on to show our cheer during the holidays! So I guess we are a little early with our lights and might be causing a few premature "Hark! Yon House!" comments.

Pregnancy over the Months

I have had several people request pictures of me pregnant. While I look back on them, the pictures at the beginning of the pregnancy look great compared to how I look now. I think I am hitting the prime of growing and as most girls would agree with me no picture at this stage is flaterring. Nevertheless, I decided to post them so that you all can see. I have had Ben take pictures of me at 3 months, 5 months and now 8 months. It has been fun to have a timeline of how I have grown over this pregnancy.

A cat in our Carrier


Ben and I got our carseat and stroller today. We ordered it about 8 weeks ago and it just came in. We were excited to finally get it and get it all put together. I instantly pulled out the carrier and put my Bundle Me in it that Carlee gave me. Then I put the carrier in our recliner. No sooner had I done this did our curious cat Paradise crawl right up in the chair and carseat to see what it was. She wasted no time and got right into the carrier and curled up. I guess she thought the Bundle Me just looked too cozy to resist. Here is a picture of her all curled up.

Henry's Room


Ben and I have been working hard on painting "Henry's" room. We recently finished all the painting and were able to get the crib put up as well. Here is a picture of how it turned out!! We are going to decorate his room with airplanes. We bought some antique looking airplanes at Tai Pan trading that we are going to hang from the ceiling. Seeing that I have never painted a room before I think we did a good job for our first room. Now we want to repaint the whole house!
