Updates of Excitements

So I won't leave everyone in suspense for the biggest excitement update of all...Yep, it's true...that is a baby bump! We are expecting another little bundle of joy this coming April. I am about 12 weeks along right now and feeling horribly sick and yucky. Some days are better than others but despite the not fun parts, we are super excited!

This partly explains why I have not stayed up to date on all we've been doing lately. Last week was jam packed full for us and I don't feel like doing anything during nap time except take a nap so not much gets done. But here goes the quick recap of our lives:

Here are the wonderful group jumping shots from the Poconos I promised. Ashley, aka crazy jumping hair lady, was the instigator of these shots and we all had a blast.The ladies: Me, Minde, Ashley and MargySome of the group were watching a Saturday football game and this poster was held up behind the announcers. We all had a great laugh at this one!The ladies giving it a go.So I don't win any points for creativity but after a few shots of that I decided it was best if I was the photographer!I'm so impressed by their air! This is Oliver, Tyler and Cody.Cody just cracks me up in all of these photos. He's so committed to the jump!This is by far my favorite shot. The grown-ups are all just crazy and the little boys look awestruck!An attempt at a family photo near the lake. On Sunday October 5th we took the train up to Croton-Harmon to visit the Great Pumpkin Blaze at Van Cortland Manor. We had heard about this from friends last year and I was determined we wouldn't miss out again. This is Morgan stuffing in dinner on the way up. It was about a half hour ride and I don't think he stopped eating the whole way. His area was a mess but he was happy!Our camera will not win any awards so we tried our best. That is the manor house behind me. It was lined with jack-o-lanterns and kept changing colors.Morgan is enthralled as you can tell.This gives you kind of an idea of what they do. I'm very glad we went, even if Morgan was less than excited about the pumpkins. It was a great way to kick off the Halloween/Fall season! Check out more fun pics at Ashley's blog.On Saturday we attended the Bella's 2nd b-day party. It was all about colors and balls. Their apartment was filled with colorful balls, including a little ball filled baby pool. There were a lot of slightly older kids that sort of scared Morgan and Eliot but they had a great time playing with all of Bella's toys in her room!We offered Morgan a bite of a small cupcake and of course he decided the whole thing needed to be in his mouth!In true birthday girl fashion, Bella was covered in frosting and crumbs. Kiasa was very brave for letting the kids just have at the cupcakes! It was a great party with lots of yummy food. Thanks for the fun Bella, Kiasa and Brian!Yesterday was a beautiful Sunday afternoon so we decided to take a walk to our favorite quiet weekend spot, the Conservatory Gardens.
Morgan decided to take a break near the fountain and eat some goldfish crackers.
What a cutie! I just love the way his hair curls up on the side of his head. Oh and his 1950's style bangs are thanks to me. It is not easy trying to get a wet soapy kid to sit still in the bathtub while you're coming at them with giant scissors and a comb. Maybe next time I'll wait till I have backup and an extra set of hands and eyes. Luckily Morgan could care less!
So that is a pretty good recap of what we've been up to this past week or so. I think life will slow down this week...after book club on Tuesday of course...that reminds me...I need another nap!
