Pumpkin Carving

We decided that we had better carve our pumpkins tonight so they would be ready for Halloween tomorrow. It's amazing that it's the end of the month already. Mike's pumpkin is pretty easy to figure out, but just in case you are wondering what my pumpkin is supposed to be, it is a cat sitting on a moon, surrounded by stars.

Snap, Crackle, Pop

Mike was sleeping at our house, and during the night he heard a "pop". It sounded like Sadie had knocked something over, so he just went back to sleep. The next morning he was pulling out of the driveway and noticed that a tree in the neighbor's front yard had split and landed on the fence between our houses. I guess the snow from the night had put too much weight on it. It doesn't look like there is too much damage to the fence. The neighbors said they will be cutting down the rest of the tree today.

That's right. We are expecting baby #2 in April! On September 28, I had my 12 week appointment and we were able to hear the baby's heartbeat with a doppler - 155 beats per minute. Yay! I've been really sick again this pregnancy, so we've been staying at my parents' house and they have been so nice helping me take care of Nora.
