*no updates*

This has been such an exciting time in our lives and I'm sad that I haven't been able to document the past few months. For some reason, this blogger site won't allow me to upload any more photos. I would be required to purchase additional storage for my photos on Picasa Web. Have any of you heard of this or required to do this as well? As much as I love blogging, I just can't justify buying storage on Picasa when I have plenty of photo storage on my computer.

Anyhow, this is why I haven't updated. I apologize to family and friends who look at his for updates. However, I do keep my facebook updated with photos and any new news!

The FALL in Virginia has been so much fun! 

SNOW in October?

The weather in Virginia keep getting stranger and stranger.

It snowed! Not for long, but enough for the kids to go out and run around for a bit.

our lil' nugget @ 18 weeks. 

 I was amazed by these 3d ultrasound photos.

Doctor said baby is developing perfectly and is weighing in at approx. 8oz which is on the larger size (average is 5oz) and my fundus height is measuring in at 22cm (average is 18cm) which is also on the larger size. Total weight gain is 2 lbs, so they are a little concerned as to why I haven't gained more weight but aren't too concerned since baby is growing appropriately.

my BIG 4 year old!

I know I say this every year with every child, but I just can't get over how fast children grow up! My little Charlotte isn't so little anymore...she's FOUR! She even realizes how BIG she is too...she'll say, "Mom, look how BIG my feet are, I'm really a BIG girl now!" or "Mom, next year I'll be five and that is almost as BIG as Hannah and Alyssa!"

It makes me sad and happy all at once. Sad that my baby is growing up, but happy that she's becoming her own wonderful person with such a dramatic personality. 

...first stop...

Chuck E Cheese!

 Back at home the girls helped me make Charlotte's favorite cupcake...

Happy Birthday my sweet precious 4 year old!
