~Keys Thanksgiving Trip~

~Weekend Fun~

Just another day at the beach. We've had some pretty strong winds this past week from the tropical storm out at sea. We went out for lunch Saturday then stopped by the beach. Russ hasn't gone since he's been here so we decided to swing by and see how the water was. The red flag was out so we couldn't have gotten in anyway, but the water wasn't too bad.

Before the big wave..........

and after!!

We also got around to painting our little girl's room this weekend. The room was already purple, thanks to Dillon, so we left two of the walls the light purple color and painted the other two a light green. This will match the bedding stuff we picked for her. We didn't really want to do the typical pink so we went for purple and green. I think it turned out pretty well. I'll take more pictures as we get further along with the decorating. We haven't gotten a crib or anything yet so the room is pretty empty. Guess we have a few more months to get everything together, but it was good to get the painting part out of the way. Russ also helped, but by the time I got out the camera he was already cleaning up so he missed his photo opp.

~Happy Halloween~

Brent’s office decided to compete in the yearly costume contest. They went with the Gilligan’s Island theme. Brent was the millionaire – Thurston Howell III. I think they had a great time getting to dress up.

24 Week Update

Already at 6 months! Seems like the time is going by pretty fast now. Went to the doctor and everything is looking good. I have gained 13 pounds so far and the doctor said that was in the normal range. We are planning to paint her room this weekend so that should be fun. Brent's brother Russ is staying with us so he will be lots of help reaching the top of the walls. He's 6' 9" so no ladder needed. We've picked out her room colors and started a registry at Babies R Us and Pottery Barn Kids. Little by little we are starting to get prepared for our new little addition. The closer it gets the more real it seems to be. We have picked her first name, but are still in controversy over her middle name. In my family we all go by our middle names and we are thinking we will do the same for our kids. I guess maybe I decided this, but Brent doesn't seem to mind so that's what we'll be doing. Hopefully she will have a name by February, but the way things are going it doesn't look too promising. Picking a name is such a big thing and she'll have it forever so we want to make sure to pick a good one.
