Niece/Nephew

I don't know which it is yet but here is the first look at my niece or nephew. I can't hardly wait until October to meet the lil bugger.

edited to add: apparently this picture is upside down! I can never tell what is going on in these types of pictures anyway.

Trip to the Pumpkin Patch

One of the advantages to being temporarily unemployed is that I get to do stuff I wouldn't normally be able to do...like chaperone Zane and his daycare mates to the Pumpkin Patch!

The perfect pumpkin

Getting a little tall for the hay bale maze

another baby on the way...

But not mine! My cousin Corie recently announced her new little bun in her oven, or "baby appleseed" as its been dubbed since its roughly that size now. I couldn't be more excited - this baby will be the first for our generation and sure to be spoiled tons :-) Corie and I are 18 months apart and grew up like sisters, so I am hoping that our kids will do the same.
