16 years ago tonight I was 21 days short of my due date with my first child when I felt a little funny. No pain (yet) just a few little twinges.
C's dad told me we were heading to the hospital and I said no way, we were 3 weeks away. They would just look at us, laugh and send us home telling us it was too early.
This was about 10:00pm on November 9th, 1994.
Little did we know!

rolling, rolling, rolling,
Yup, we have hit milestone, the 1st of many for R. She is now 3 1/2 month old and she is now also rolling all over the place.
This morning I was able to leave her on the bed in her boppy but tomorrow she will have to move down to the floor.
I noticed that she was getting close to rolling from back to front but just couldn't get it. I grabbed the flip, videoed for about 30 minutes with no luck. I walked into the kitchen, turned around and she was on her tummy. I looked to see if K maybe rolled her over but she had not moved.
So I missed the 1st time she rolled. But of course that is not all I missed. While I went to grab the flip to try again but by the time I got back she had rolled onto her back.
OK so I missed the 1st roll both ways.
At least I was able to see it many many more times tonight.
Ahhh, she is growing so fast and knowing that this is the last one it really makes me sad!! It seems like yesterday that I was watching this video over and over. It was almost 2 years ago to the day.
Tomorrow I will post the video of her rolling.

Happy Halloween!!
As everyone knows last night was Halloween. I have to admit that I am not a huge Halloween fan but I do enjoy seeing the kids dressed up and having fun. That translates to... in a few year Chris will be the one taking the girls around trick or treating while I stay home and hand out candy.
This year we did it together. It was R's 1st Halloween and the 1st that K really got into it.
Isn't she the cutest little kitty you have ever seen?
The only thing missing were the boys. They left that afternoon to head to their dads house. Before they left I wanted to get a few pictures of the 4 kids together.
And this is how it went....
I called the boys over with the girls and all the kids were in order except for the toddler..
Exhibit A
Said toddler was running around all over the place. The oldest teen went to get her and this is what took place...
Exhibit B
And this is what happens when you try to take a picture of a still unwilling 2 year old.
Exhibit C
So plan B happened... notice the orange just above C's shoulder. That would be Daddy! Yup, K was find as long as Daddy was holding her...
Exhibit D
When all the pictures were taken. We went home and had a little fun before trick or treating...
And of course, the shot of Daddy and his 2 little girls!
After that we went off trick or treating where K had a blast. We walked around with a few neighbors and Kennedi was such a big girl and kept up with all the older boys!
I hope everyone had a great Halloween.

3 months old!!
Yesterday was the 15th and that means that R turned 3 months old! Time has gone by so fast and I really wish that it would slow down a little!
Here are a few pictures of R that were taken in the last month!

The Pumpkin Patch!
It's that time of year again, I just wish it would be a little cooler.
It is just not normal to be decorating the outside of the house in Halloween stuff and sweating while doing it. I always remember going trick-or-treating and freezing while walking. I guess that is the difference in Maryland and Georgia!
Anyway, today with our playgroup we headed to one of the local pumpkin patches.
I do have to add that I have 2 huge "Fails" to report. 1)I did not get many pictures at all and 2) none of the many pictures that I did not get are of R!! OUCH!!
I do have to say that it is not easy to take pictures when you have two little ones with you. But, I have also been really bad about taking pictures for about the past month. There are only so many poses you can take of a newborn/infant. Also, there are only so many times you can beg a certain toddler to be still and actually look at the camera instead of walking away. I have way too many pictures of the back of her!
So... here are the pictures that I did manage to get today. Yes, I know I need to take some photography classes. That is actually on my list of things to do when I have some spare time. I guess I will be able to enroll in some classes in the year 2028 when we have no more children at home.
