BIG News!!!

There is a new Baby Fox on the way!! We are so excited to share with everyone that we are 9 weeks pregnant! We went to the doctor for the first visit yesterday, and got to see Baby Fox moving all around. It was so neat. We will hopefully find out if it is a boy or a girl close to Christmas.

Laney doesn't know yet. I think it will be just too much for her to wrap her mind around. We made the mistake of mentioning Santa, and that is now a daily question (When is he coming? Where does he live?) We will tell her when it starts to become a little more obvious.

Birthday Party

Laney's birthday party was a lot of fun! The best part was that she and the kids had a blast, while Casey and I got to just follow along and watch. This was the easiest party we have had - I am thinking this will be the trend from now on!

Laney's Birthday (and Mom's, too)

We celebrated both of our birthdays last week. It was fun, because Laney actually thought it was her birthday ALL WEEK! She let me share in the celebrating a little, too. We will actually have her birthday party this weekend. Then we will take a break from celebrating her birthday for a while. :)

Not so thrilled to wake up for her 3rd birthday

She finally came around...

Birthday Girl

Can you tell she loves Dora?


Listening to her knew iPod shuffle (I still can't believe we got her this)

Laney's Birthday Eve

Tonight is Laney's birthday eve. We have been talking about her birthday for a while, and she keeps asking, "Is my birthday coming up?" Well, it will finally be here tomorrow! She is really excited. Her party is not for a few weekends, but of course we will celebrate tomorrow, too.

She is bringing Jello Jigglers to her friends tomorrow at Miss Eileen's. She had fun making them tonight. She ate about as many as she made!

Nature Fest

We went to Nature Fest with some friends and family this weekend. We got there kind of late, but the kids were still able to do a few things. One of the favorites was riding the ponies. Laney, Hannah, and Hope loved it! We tried to get pictures of the 3 cousing with their pumpkins and in front of a tee pee, but it didn't work out. Getting 3 wild, little girls to smile and look at the camera on cue is nearly impossible!

Laney's New Quilt

Laney's "Big Girl" room has been a work in progress, and yesterday she received her special quilt that Dee Dee made for her. She was so excited to see it on her bed, and sleep with it for the first time last night! She is a lucky girl to have such a talented and generous Dee Dee!

Going back to work!

I never thought I would be so excited to go back to work, but I am! We are going a little stir crazy around here with not much to do. With the extra time off due to the hurricane, you would think that we would be doing all kinds of fun things. Unfortunately, it is too much trouble to go many places because of the bad traffic and gas problems. We have had fun playing with our cousins and neighbor, though. It has been nice to spend some quality time, with Laney, too.

It will be nice to get back to school, and get on with the things that need to be taught. Who knows when we'll be making the days up...I am sure they won't let us get away without it!
