Snow-nami!!!

Winter has officially kicked off in Minnesota. We enjoyed temps in the 70's last week and yesterday we got dumped with almost a foot of snow. Andrew loves the snow so he is happy to see it here. Of course it speeds along the whole "the baby is coming" timeframe for him. Maybe we didn't think this through enough. In April when we told him a baby was coming we thought by telling him he had to wait until Christmas and wintertime would make sense for him, but now the snow is here and there are Christmas trees in every store, but no baby yet. Andrew will have to be patient for 6 more weeks. The doctor put the timeframe back on track with the due date of December 28th. Of course, we think the baby has other plans, considering the daily contractions. It probably just doesn't want to miss out on Christmas!

Wish we could share some of our snow with you! Enjoy the picture!

Happy Halloween

As usual we had a blast at Halloween. We did our annual trip to the Chaska Community Center for their Halloween Festival. Andrew's favorite part of the trip is getting up on stage with the other kids and dancing the night away.
This year Mommy had to skip trick or treating, but Daddy got really into it and dressed up as a bunch of grapes. All of the neighborhood kids loved it. Here's the grapes and Buzz Lightyear (aka Andrew). Andrew was very excited to dress up as Buzz. It was pretty funny when we picked it out cause Andrew had never seen the Toy Story movie, but definately wanted to be Buzz. We later got the movie so he would know who he was dressing up as.
Here's the gang - Dan, Bella, Dave, Andrew and Melina. The trick or treatin' crew. They definately cleaned house. Andrew came home with a bucket filled with treats. We'll be eating candy until Christmas, at least!
Andrew is eagarly awaiting baby's arrival. At my last doctor's appointment, baby was measuring 3 weeks ahead of schedule. We'll find out more at next week's appointment. We'll fill you in then! Have a good one!!
