The New Year Run Down

So we spent a wonderful Christmas in Wyoming. It was fun to get away for a week and just relax. Lizzy was so good. in our 15 hour drive down and 15 hours back (death) she played,
slept and entertained herself for 90% of the time. What a good girl. We are home again, back at the grind stone. Trevor is back at school starting up another semester. I'm back at work. Lizzy has suddenly become a lot of fun though. I think she has officially become a toddler and not a baby. She plays and talks. must be time for number two. I am officially on the count down. After having various occasions where a nurse or someone would ask me what week I was and Me saying I don't know I am finally keeping track. Has anyone noticed how time goes s l o w e r when you keep track. but once you start you are hooped. In case anyone is wondering it is 6 weeks, one day and about 8.5 hours until we have this baby. Still no real firm idea of what to name him, so suggestions are appreciated. Over all we are doing good. It is funny how time flies. We have been in Canada since July, that is almost 6 months. anyways Happy New Year to Everyone!!!

Rising Star

So while watching the 11:00 news tonight Trevor and I spotted a rising star in our midst. Let's just say their initials are BB. It is kind of like an "I spy" or "Where's Waldo" We will see if anyone can guys who we saw and why we saw them. Maybe others saw them also.

Milkshake Night and Goofy Grins

One of the things that my Dad is really good at is making homemade milkshakes. MMMMMM. So we had a milkshake night. Elizabeth was so excited that she got her very own cup. One of the things that she has also been doing as of late is these really goofy grins. We call them her hill billy grins. Well we a got pictures of a few of them. Here thay are.

The Mumma

So I finally took pictures of "big" me. I swear I am as big now as I was in the end with Elizabeth and I still have almost 4 months. Sick. I don't like to document pregnancy but I am entering a contest and needed a picture. So here I am.

What Big Girls Do

Well Elizabeth is now a "big girl" and here is the list of what big girls do.

Big Girls:

Have their hair done

Do their makeup

Wear sunglasses

Drive Cars

ARE AS CUTE AS CAN BE!!!!

Halloween

So Princess Lizzy had not 1 but two halloween costumes this year. We had a really cute pumpkin outfit but it wouldn't fit over warm clothes. So a very kind neighbor brought over a pink bunny costume as well.

I got to work this morning and my Dad's assistant Dianne was dressed as a pumpkin so Grandma brought Lizzy for a fashion show to show their matching outfits.




The second one was a pink bunny costume. Later we got all dressed up to go out trick - or - treating. Lizzy was more like a pink marshmallow than a pink bunny, she wouldn't move. She just let Dad carry her and sat there, no moving, no talking, no nothing (why does this not happen in church??) So our trick - or - treating lasted maybe 20 minutes (that includes the 7 minute walk to the neighbors house to show her the costume and the 7 minutes home. I think we managed 6 houses total. Well I guess we will try again next year. It was fun anyways.

So Elizabeth and I were banished to the basement today. They were doing painting in the kitchen and didn't want us to be poisoned. We played with blocks a a bit of dress up. It was fun. Until she got tired and grumpy. But that is what a good nap is for right?!?!

Go for a walk

So Elizabeth was walking around upstairs this morning. Then she found the stroller in the laundry room and pulled on it for a bit. Then she went to the closet and found her jacket and tried to put it on. She sat by the front door with her coat on until Trevor and i decided to take her for a walk down by the park. She lets us know what she wants. She likes to hold Teddy's leash while we walk. It is cute.

Suprise of the day

So Trevor and I finally went to the Doctors for my being "with child" Everyone at the doctors office was really concerned that we hadn't been to the doctors yet. Had to explain life without health care to them. My boss pointed out that 100's of women for 100's of years lived without doctors and ultrasounds. We got to hear the heart beat and we are booked in for an "emergency" (because we haven't been to have one yet) ultrasound. The big suprise is that I am 20 weeks along WOOT HALFWAY!! I thought I was about 16 so an extra month is always nice to have out of the way. We are expecting on Feb 4. only 20 weeks to go. I have decided that I need to go out to storage because I want my baby books so I can know what is going on in there.
