Now there are 5!

Several years ago, when I bought new stockings for all of us, I accidentally ended up with 5 (after exchanging designs, changing my mind, etc). One has been in the tub for years with the tag still on it. But, when we hung stockings yesterday, the 5th one made its appearance. Now there are five of us. I think there should have been all along.... we are complete! Only 2 weeks until Baby Pierce arrives. Thank you, God, for our blessings.

PBC Thanksgiving

We had our annual church Thanksgiving meal this week. I (again) stole the great pictures Amy took off of her blog. We had a great night.


PBC Baby Shower

A few Sundays ago, my wonderful church had a baby shower for our family. Of course, upon arriving, I realized I had no memory stick in my camera (these types of things happen to me often). Thank you Amy for the pictures!

Baby Shower at WHMC

My work, Women's Hope Medical Clinic, threw a fabulous baby shower for me and for our office manager, Karen. We are both due within about a week of each other. She is having a baby girl, and as we all know (and complain to me often about), we are having a "surprise." It was a great shower with wonderful women who serve God so faithfully at our center.





More Halloween Fun

One of our annual traditions is caramel apple night while watching It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown. The night has taken on all different forms over the years, but in one way or another, Allan and I have been doing it together since we were engaged. This year, we had some friends over for the watching of the movie. Here are some pictures of them watching the movie and eating their apples.
Then, of course, each year we carve the pumpkin (Daddy's job to oversee):
Then, there is the big night. This year, A.J. dressed as a college football referee. He was certain to tell me he needed the white hat and an "R" on his back because that is the head guy. Basically, he threw flags at all of us all night. I was called on a personal foul for too much chatting!
Abigail dressed as exactly what she wants to be when she grows up... a mommy! Her stroller was packed with a diaper bag and a purse (and all the accessories).
