Lovin' that pudding

How can one small container of pudding make such a mess? And did any of it get into her mouth?

Christmas Time!

Tonight we took a drive around a fantastic neighborhood in Fresno where almost every single house within 3 square blocks decorates extravagantly. We drove around with the minivan doors wide open, which was a thrill for the kids. Camille sat in the front seat on Troy's lap loving every minute. What a great night.

These pics are just for fun. (Camille ran into the furniture, thus the scratches on her face - poor thing)

Time is Flying!

Yesterday I had another ultrasound - truly a miracle to be able to take a peek at this little baby inside of me. Well, he's HUGE! He is measuring 3 weeks ahead of his due date, weighing in at an estimated 3 lb. 11 oz. already. None of my babies have been big so this is a little unusual. When I have my doctor's appointment next week we'll discuss how early a C-Section will be scheduled. We want to make sure the baby is ready to come but not wait too long so that I go into labor on my own (which has never happened).
It's entirely possible that we'll have this baby with us at the beginning of February instead of the middle or even end. So today I got my act together and started working on Camille's baby book! It would be nice to get that done before this little guy arrives. Every week of Camille's first year, I journaled what was going on and made sure I had at least one picture so now I just have to put it all together into an album. I'm on Week #2, so I'm making progress and it's getting me excited to have a newborn in the house again.

SNOW!!!

Living in Fresno lacks snow, which is just fine with me. However, we were so lucky to get one little pounding of snow on our trip to Utah. Every time the kids walked outside of Myrna's house, they had to run around in the yard and make fresh tracks. Camille would say "Oh! It's so cold!" then she would giggle with delight.

Thanksgiving Vacation

Our kids had the entire week of Thanksgiving off from school. What a treat! So we packed up the car and road-tripped it out to Utah to spend time with my wonderful aunt and with Troy's sister and her family. The cousins had such a fantastic time together and we loved on their little baby, Charlotte. The week was fantastic!

No more glasses!

Natalie got contacts. Can you believe I have a teenager? Beautiful!

First Haircut

Camille has hardly any hair but even with as little as she has, it was looking pretty uneven so she had her first "trim". Our hairstylist was literally cutting one or two strands of hair at a time.
