Oh Baby, It's a Girl!!!!!

For sure! 100%! All girl! I am so excited!

D and I went to the doctor for another ultrasound on Tuesday and we took Heyward. He has been asking a lot about the baby and calls her "Laurie Beth" ,so he was excited to be going to see his baby sister. I don't think he really understood that he would just be seeing her via an ultrasound maching and not necessarily in person. He feel asleep on our way to the doctor and slept through the entire ultrasound. I had to have some bloodwork sone afterwards and he woke up during that and said, "Where's Laurie Beth? I wanna see Laurie Beth!" Poor thing! I will attach a few images from this last ultrasound later tonight.

North Carolina trip

Heyward went to Greensboro yesterday to visit Aunt Ann with Becee, Bop, Aunt Kathy and B (cousin Benton). They went out to eat and visited a museum. They had a great time! D and I love our families and are so grateful for them. It pleases us that Heyward is able to be close to each of them. Our hopes are that he will inhereit the many, many great character traits that they have.

Fun times in the yard...(before it got cold!)

Becee and Bop love to play with Heyward in the yard when they come over and of course his favorite thing to play is BALL! Here are a few from a few weeks ago.

*I think his form is good, but notice the ball in the background? We'll have to consult Joe Cap about this in the near future!

*Here is one of Daddy playing ball...Heyward's favorite thing to go and do is watch Daddy play ball and run around at the ball field!

Halloween event #4 / Birthday Party!

Sunday we ventured over to Florence for Zander and Maddox's birthday party. They had the best party ever with two kiddie rides and a jump castle! We were so busy keeping up with Heyward and enjoying ourselves that we didn't get a picture of the birthday boys! I feel terrible, but we will definitely get one next time they are all together!

*you can see cutie patootie Miss Bella in the background above!

ARGGGGG!!! Ahoy Mates! (true pirate face!)

Halloween event #3...Church trunk-or-treat!

*Don't we look so excited about passing out candy?

Mrs. Susie and Mr. Johnny were very gracious and invited our church out to their place for trunk-or treating this year! The hotdogs were yummy, the deserts were even better, but the candy was the best. Heyward is holding a big rat in this last picture...it grossed us completely out tha the would pick it up. Of course it wasn't real!

Halloween Event 2...The Witch's House...

Heyward had a blast friday night at Meme's, excuse me, Witchy-poo's house. His favortie part was....trick-or treating...NO!, Eating delicious candy...NO!, seeing his mom and meme dressed up...NO!, his favorite part was handing out the candy with meme in the one and only witch's chair. The funny thing is, if Meme got up for any reason he gaurded her chair and wouldn't let anyone sit in it! He would say "Dat Meme chair." Oh the joys!!!!

First Halloween event...school party and trunk or treat!

Friday at school, Heyward's class had their Halloween party and the school held its trunk-or-treat out in the parking lot. Thanks to Aunt Ashley, Popo, and Bop for coming to help out with the trunk-or-treating!

*oops..someone caught Mommy pirate too! Keeping up with a classroom of 3 year olds sure put a smile on my face that afternoon didn't it? (just kidding , I love my class to death! Bad picture though!)

* After my class party and the FPK trunk-or-treat, Aunt Ashley and the Popo carried me home with them to bake cupcakes for their Halloween party. It looks to me as if all the fun was in the tasting!
