Falling behind in November!

I can't stand how behind I've gotten on my life - and phtptp! only 37 (?) weeks pregnant?!?

get real

SO!

I'm trying my best to get caught up on AT LEAST this blog...

here is last week's prego picgure...

AND - baby update - this week - they told me my little boy is a measly 9 1/2 lbs -

and they won't take him out for another 2 weeks - earliest

so - if you're my friend at all - please say a prayer that I have this baby soon..

I know they're always off with the sizing.. but still - what if they're not!

Speaking of behind.. here are some more pictures of Anna on Halloween..

New white jump suit - very posh

Fancy hat - which will match little brother's

(if he ever shows up!!)

FALL UPDATE: the chickens have been let into the garden!

expect all to be leveled in 1 week time...

a terrible case of bedhead

Here is Anna at Nana's house -

notice how calm she is for pictures with Nana..
who is this child? not the girl I know!!

she is in LOVE with these pumpkins..

I don't know if it's her Halloween kick - or the pumpkins -

either way - she loves them

Final October Post

OK!

the best holiday in the whole world has come & gone -

and all we have to show for it is a rash on a cheek..

some candy...

a child's addiction to 'The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown'

a parental lack of tolerance for 'The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown'

I'll add more pictures soon - but for the time being - these will have to hold you

Here is the kitten at Aunt Cookie's house -

making an afternoon cameo

Then - Anna came to my office and -

in proper kitty fashion -

cleaned the glass bricks for us

There was an accident somewhere - which made the ride from our house -

to Dan's Mom's house -aka Gramma (not to be confused with Nana)

trechereously long..

but Anna had no idea

These pictures show Anna exploring her first lolly pop

The guilty look on her faces proves that I don't give her candy

OK
here are the pics of our final pumpkin harvest...
little bright - yes.. but still cute
notice how well she holds on

Friday Updates

Last weekend, Nanner's buddy came over for an afternoon of torture

After looking at these pictures - Abby has to be THE biggest champ I have ever seen!

True friends!

As much as it looks like torture - there is no way you can deny how cute they are together!!

First pic... THE SETUP

Anna's hugs are looking more like wrestling take down moves

and head locks

and Abby looks stunned...
and after a hard day of being social..
Anna sits around with Daddy and reads a book
She likes reading with him - because he still has a lap...
and I don't

Day with Daddy...

SO! Sunday was yet another installment to

Anna & Daddy DAY-OF-FUN

and while Anna is out with Daddy - she is allowed to wear whatever she wants

you wouldn't think a little girl so young would be so opinionated in regards to an outfit...

well - for some reason - she loves this hat

(which hasn't fit her in months)

so happy to be feeding the chickens
When the go outside -
Anna runs away from Dan
nice
another installment of the
Girl Stands at Fence series...

And this one was all me...

its the weekend - if she wants animal crackers for lunch -

I see no problem with this...

and a big ohhhhh

More LIbrary pics...

Here is the chickie being her super social self at the library...

I guess all the kids were gazing at something magnificent

This is Anna listening to the audio books...
she's in heaven!

Conundrum

I didn't know where to put this picture...
if it should be with the cute Anna pictures..
or with the big huge preggo pictures...
I feel like that guy on ebay that was trying to sell the tea pot
oh the humanity!

Because she's cute..

and what other reason do you need?!??!!

here's the girl at the library - HER FAV

NEW SHOES!

Now - I am starting to see how every move the first kid makes gets photographed & documented...
WITH THIS BLOG - I vow to do all the FIRST things for dos - that I did for uno...

In the mall... Anna so proudly shows me her new shoes...

And her first Monday morning with the new kicks....

Something about the farm - the haze - the curls

Google 'The Omen - 1976' and look at the pictures
you wouldn't believe the resemblance!

and zoomed
This is one of my sneaky pictures...
Is mommy 8 months pregnant?
or does she just have meaty arms?
hmmmmm - I just can't tell!
Total Action shot!
Not only is Anna sporting a pony-tail -
but check out the determination in her stance -
she is determined to run away from Mommy
