Me and Alaina

Dave was great enough to take some pictures of me and Alaina while I am pregnant. Yesterday Alaina spent about 5 minutes with her hand on my tummy while the baby was rolling around. Each time she felt the baby she said "Uh-Oh" or "Baby!" It was pretty cute. I think she understands that there is a baby now. Hopefully this baby will make his appearance soon!

Thanksgiving

Laura and Josh came to our house for Thanksgiving. Everything went almost without a hitch. My pregnancy mush brain showed up though during the cooking process. I could not get the green beans for the green bean cassarole to cook to save my life. I wound up having to strain out the green beans, boil them, and then remake the cassarole. Also, while that was going on, I put the rolls in to cook without removing the cling wrap....That didn't work too well. Anyway, here are a few cute pics of Laura, Josh, and Alaina. Hope all of your Thanksgivings were as great as ours!

Duck Pond Plus Some Other Pictures

First off, here are a few pictures that we took while we were at the duck pond. Alaina loves feeding the ducks and Bandit loved to chase them. Also, Bandit and Alaina lounging on the couch, and Dave and Alaina lounging.

Talledega Pictures

Here are a few pictures from our trip to the Talledega Nascar race. It was so much fun! We all really enjoyed seeing my parents again. Alaina did really well at the race. During the middle of the race it got pretty hot, so Mom and I took Alaina behind the bleachers to play in the shade. After it cooled off, Alaina did wonderful.

Grandma and Alaina spinning back and forth watching the cars go by at 200 miles per hour about 25 feet in front of them.

Alaina was trying to escape from the hotel room after the race. She put on the hat by herself.

Trick-or-treating and the last couple of weeks

So here are the promised trick-or-treating pictures and a couple of other pictures from the last couple of weeks.




Alaina and Ava trick-or-treating. Alaina really enjoyed knocking and ringing the doorbells.

Alaina wasn't able to walk the whole way, so she caught a ride on Daddy's shoulders.

For the last couple of blocks, Dave was carrying both girls.

Alaina has been putting her chair right in front of the window lately and watching occasional traffic and kids playing.
