Week 47

Alexis had her Thanksgiving presentation at school this week. Our blonde hair, blue-eyed girl played the part of a Native American. Boy was she cute! At the end of their little performance each child got to say what they are thankful for. Our little sweetie said she was most thankful for "my mommy, my daddy and my brother!" LOVE HER! Then we had a Thanksgiving feast.

We surprised the kids with tickets to ride the Polar Express! They were so excited an so was I! I'm a total sucker for stuff like this. We first got on a train and were served cookies and hot chocolate while characters sang and danced down the aisle. Then they read the book Polar Express (it was a much shorter version). Then we got off that train and got to board the Polar Express. It took us to the North Pole and Santa got on the train with us. He walked up to each child and asked if they were a believer. They would say yes and he would hand them a silver bell, the first gift of Christmas! It was adorable and we had an excellent time!

Another basketball game for Alexis. I can't believe this season is almost over. Only 2 more weeks. It went fast.

Week 45

We have a BIG announcement!

We are expecting BABY #3!!!

I have dealt with infertility for years and have been on infertility treatments for over a year. It was a tough journey, but here we are…finally another little miracle! 

We had our first ultrasound this week, baby is growing right on track and had a strong heartbeat of 169 bpm. I am so in love.

Here are some pictures I took to announce our exciting news!

Alexis had her first Basketball game! It was funny. Afterwards she told me her favorite part was sitting out so she could talk to her friends, ha! Maybe basketball won't be her thing. ;)

I was able to get our Christmas card photo taken! It was the last nice day of Fall until major snow storms were expected to move in. The light was falling fast and I only had a few minutes to get one. Here it is!

Week 43

I'm so happy the weather has been nice! We were able to carve pumpkins outside. Much easier with the clean-up that way.

Last week I took Paxton out for his Halloween costume session and this week it was Alexis' turn. She is being Queen Elsa from Frozen (like every other little girl, ha!) We had so much with this session!

Alexis had her first basketball practice!

Week 40

I am so booked up this month with sessions and I totally forgot to schedule my own kids' Fall photos! We played hookey from soccer one night since the weather was perfect and I took them out for their own session. I love how they turned out! 

I have a slight obsession with matching themed PJ's! 

Paxton had his first basketball practice! He wasn't very coordinated to dribble the ball, but he sure could shoot it!
