It was a Partay!!


Enjoy some of the pics from Graham's Party in reverse. There were so many photos and I wish I was more of an editor, but I'm happy to have the photos. I love how many cute shots Marty got of the kids. They look great in their Halloween costumes and I'm glad Graham left his dino costume on even for a bit.

It was such a fun party to plan and carry out! I loved how the cake turned out and also the meringue dino bones. They were just as easy as my sis in law said they would be :) Thanks to all my family for helping pull it off! (Randi, Andrea, my patient Mama, and my dear mother in law who has been recovering from shingles). And thanks to everyone who came! It was a blast.

It was such a fun day and a special memory for my little boyfriend. He is still talking about his dinosaur party! I can't believe how far we've come together in the last three years. Somehow amongst the chaos of life's struggles he manages to still love me. And I must say that he pretty much worships Marty. Tonight when putting him to sleep, Graham said to me in his tiniest voice, "I just really miss my Daddy!" (tear!) Daddy has been working quite a bit the last while and I know he and Graham would love to spend more time together. Hopefully that will happen soon enough!

Night, night friends and fam! I'm off to take my anti-nausea for a good nights rest! For those that wonder, the nausea is getting a hair better (knock on wood). I haven't thrown up in two days:) I'm 16 1/2 weeks. Heart looks good and baby looks good. Almost to half way, hooray!

Graham is 3

My little man turned three yesterday! We had a fun weekend celebrating with friends and family. We had a dino-mite party on Saturday and then yesterday was full of playing with new toys and good food to eat!

Graham is a delight to everyone around him. He has a contagious smile and personality to spare. He loves dinosaurs, trains, cars, building forts or towers and he especially loves art. He can draw such good pictures of people, with their round circular bodies, big smiles and long limbs. They make me smile. He loves reading stories and is such a smart little boy.

He is still not potty-trained, but I'm hoping that will come soon. He has a strong will and pretty much everything needs to be his idea.

I can't wait to see what this next year will bring for Graham! We love you and Happy Birthday!

It's a ...




GIRL!!!!

It is true! I could not be more excited!
Yesterday I was talking to several friends who could not believe I wasn't going to go to the fetal studio and find out the gender. By the end of the day I had been talked into it and made an appointment. I was so nervous on the way there! We got to the mall and realized we were at the wrong mall. I called and they said we could still come, but we might have to wait!
I was so happy they would still take us.

During the ultrasound the baby was moving all over the place. We could see her arms and legs kicking around and she even sucked her thumb. Heart beat, brain, stomach and kidneys all there!

Graham was so funny! We said, "Graham you are going to have a sister!" and he "...and a brother!" Nope. A little confused! Just a sister.

We are so excited! I can't wait to decorate the nursery and buy pink clothes and bows!
