Christmas

Matt and his gingerbread house that he made at school. He was so proud of it.

Christmas Eve...enjoying some quiet time.

He was so happy to get an ipod.

Baby Shower

I went back to TX in Novemeber to visit family and friends for Thanksgiving and I had a baby shower while I was there too. We (Mady & I) mainly received cash and gift cards because we had flown in and would not have been able to take back everything. It was nice to see everyone especially my family.

More house pics

This is the 1st floor of our home. Enjoy!

Our new house

Well, we have finally settled into our new home. We really love it...there is so much more space than our old house. We are not 100% done w/ the home but about 95% done. Hope you enjoy some of the pics. This is the 2nd floor of our house.
This is the first wall you see as you come up our stairs.
Picture #2 is the wall to your right and that door you see is Matthew's bathroom.
Pictures 3 & 4 are Matthew's bathroom. It's been great not having to share a bathroom w/ him and he actually has a good size bathtub. I wish you could see all the coordinating accessories that go w/ his under the sea theme. We plan on buying wall art but really haven't seen anything that matches w/ his shower curtain.
Picture 5 is our room and the baby's door is closed.
Pic 6 & 7 are as you enter our bedroom we have our bathroom to the right w/ a walk in closet. I love having 2 sinks and sink room. 8 & 9 are our room. Yes we have black curtains but that's only because the sun rises and lights up our whole room by 6/7 in the morning and one of us usually has a sun beam in our eye. Now are room is very dark and its wonderful.
Pics 10 &11 is Maddie's room. 12 & 13 is Matthew's room. 14 is our office/guest room. We plan on buying a pull out couch but just haven't yet. 15 is looking down from the top of our stairs and the last one is going down stairs. As soon as I can I will post pics of our downstairs and the outside of our home.

Happy Halloween

Another Halloween in a new home. Matthew decided to be a blue power ranger this year. The first picture is right before he and Ken left to go trick or treating. Picture #2 is our cat,Maelin, w/ her costume...she's a witch. Picture # 3 is Matthew eating a snack after all his walking and the last one was taken by Matthew...he was standing on the stairs.

Well, we are still organizing a few things...especially anything that has to be hung both in & outside. So please excuse some of the mess on the floors or counter. We are currently converting our kitchen closet into a pantry. For some reason the houses were built w/ their pantries under the island. So we asked housing for two more shelves and Ken installed them himself only one of the shelves wasn't cut short enough so we have to wait to have maintenance comes by to pick up the shelf. Still we already have two up and just waiting for that third one then our pantry will be complete. Which is great because I am tired of having to get down on my hands and knees to get things under the island. Hopefully I will have some house pictures up before I leave to Laredo for Thanksgiving.

All in all we had a good turn out in trick or treaters,plenty of candies and Matthew enjoyed himself. Hope everyone enjoyed their Halloween.

22 weeks and growing

I just turned 22 weeks last Wednesday and I have really grown in just 2 weeks. I really feel her kicking a lot now and have had a shortness of breath from climbing the stair at home, but all is still going well. We just moved into our new home and we all love it. I will be posting pics soon of our new place.
