We had an appointment on Tuesday. No word yet on the sex. We have our big sonogram appointment in three weeks. There is still time to vote pink or blue.

Must Read for Expectant Fathers

Grant just got a gift from Sarah and Patrick. It is the perfect alternative to What to Expect When You're Expecting for men. It contains information all the way from foot massage to breast feeding. I highly recommend it for your husband.

Boy or Girl?

I am 15 weeks today! It won't be long before we find out the sex of the baby. Now is your chance to guess if we will need pink or blue clothes :) I have created a poll. Vote on the left side of this page.

Is it just me, or is she getting fat?

Today I am 10 weeks 5 days along. I started showing overnight. I am glad that we are telling, otherwise people would start to wonder about my belly with all the pizza and donuts I have been eating lately.

Me as a Preggo

I am definitely different and not as much fun lately. I stay in bed all the time! I have also found that I do have cravings, but none of them very strange. My first craving was broccoli... that lasted about a week. Since then it has been all kid food all the time... or maybe it is just all carbs all the time: mac and cheese, pizza, french fries, sweet potato fries, and some protein, steak.

Whoa Baby!

I Love Vacation

It has been so nice the past two days because I have slept in. I am a much happier person when I get lots of sleep. I am definitely not one of those people who can get just 7 hours a night. I know my blog is boring right now, but I don't have much to say. Maybe after Christmas I can play catch up on posting some pictures.

Merry Christmas :)

Dry, Dry, Dry

Waiting on the rain. Will it ever come back?

ARTreach

Go here to find out about ARTreach happening this Saturday in Austin. It is a fun way to get cool stuff and help out people who really need it.

Help, I can't see my own blog!

Somehow, I am unable to pull up my own blog. If you know my email or facebook, please send me a message with any suggestions.

Our Halloween

Some of our best friends spent Halloween weekend with us. We had so much fun! Saturday, we did Trunk or Treat. Sadly, I have no pictures. Sunday, we did Halloween at our house. Pictures speak louder than words.

Cute Babies

See my niece and nephew in their Halloween costumes here. My mom made the hair and I made the shirts. It is amazing what you can do on Powerpoint.

Halloween Preview

We are doing Pirates this year. I am more excited about Halloween this year than I was last year because I have been making our costumes. Pictures to come next week!

How sad...

Well, it looks like that cute blog I wrote about won't be doing any more pictures :( You can find out why here.

Have you seen this blog? I love it!

New with us

• We are getting excited for Halloween. We plan to have a pirate ship in our driveway. Also, we will be taking the bubble from last year up to our church event and make it a black light room.
• We still love our house and we are still slowly unpacking and organizing everything.
• I am working lots lately because the school dedication ceremony is next week.
• We are finally starting to feel like we know our way around in our part of town.
• We still miss our friends that we moved away from last year and our family back home. I wish I could convince everyone to move here :)

What's up with us?

• We have a new niece and nephew!!
• We bought all the materials to create a raised garden bed
• We also bought some plants: jalapeno peppers, serrano peppers, poblano peppers, sweet tomatoes, raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries. We got a great deal since it is the end of the season. Everything was at least 50% off!
• My sister is moving back to Texas!!
• Halloween is next month and our theme for the driveway is pirates.
• We are prepping to host my family for Thanksgiving this year. I am determined to make my own turkey.

Blog Update

Reading Chez's blog inspired me to update mine as well.

Our summer in bullet point form:

• We bought a house around the corner from where we were. We love it!
• I took a two week course in Orff Schulwerk, an approach to teaching music. It was eye-opening and I can't wait to use what I have learned.
• We went to North Carolina to see my sister.
• We spent lots of time with our family in Texas.
• Grant built a fire pit in our back yard and is dreaming of cooler weather to build a stream/waterfall/pond.
• We spend just as much time in our yard as we did in the other house with the pool. It helps that we have a great deck and lots of trees.
• Our cats love going between inside and outside through the pet door in our new house.
• This week, I have been setting up my classroom at the new school. I am so happy to have my very own room (last year I was on the stage).

KitchenAid Ice Cream Maker Attachment

I bought the ice cream maker attachment for the KitchenAid stand mixer. I love it! My mom and I made ice cream last weekend and it turned out to be really good! i would definitely recommend it.
