Thanksgiving...3 days later

Hello to all my friends that so wonderfully check this blog. I have to apologize for being such a slacker but we have been busy and I haven't really been taking many pictures. We had a great Thanksgiving and I hope that everyone else did as well. We were fortunate enough to get to have Thanksgiving dinner with the Gambill's on Thursday and then again with the Tiem's on Saturday (no complaints here).

Here is Lincoln over at Nana's house. His personality has really blossomed and this is his new "cheese" face. I'm not sure how excited I am about it, but I have to admit it's pretty cute.


Here he is with his daddy, I love my two handsome guys!


This is Lincoln and cousin Ethan just hanging out after filling their bellies.

I filled my pregnant belly with lots of turkey and dressing (my favorite) and of course some pumpkin pie. Things seem to be going smoothly but very slowly. We are at about 13 1/2 weeks and will be going to see the doctor on Dec. 8th. Hopefully, he can see what we are having, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

I hope that everyone is staying sane during the beginning of the busy holidays. We have so many events coming up that it exhausts me just to look at our calendar. Take time to take it all in and enjoy life, it only happens once! I promise I will be blogging again soon as our little Lincoln turns 2 on Saturday.

Fall Photos

We had some pictures taken on Saturday with the infamous photographer, Ashley Ann. For those of you that don't already religiously read her blog (which you should) check out her blog post for more fun pictures from our session.

Happy Halloween (a few days late)

It was a weekend filled with pumpkins, costumes, and lots of candy. Needless to say, Lincoln had a good time. His lasting impression of the weekend was candy. For example-

"Hey Lincoln, what do you want to drink?"
"Candy"
"Are you tired?"
"Candy, please"
That went on all night.

We started the weekend with pumpkin carving. He was semi-interested but did enjoy coloring on the pumpkins and digging his hands in the gooey middle.


He was quite the pumpkin design master.

It's a good thing that it was so warm on Halloween because his Bam-Bam costume worked out pretty well. I actually made this (after multiple attempts). My first attempt looked like a skirt with a sewn line down the middle, not too cute. We couldn't get the hat together so we powdered his hair to try and turn it white.

Betty and Bam-Bam

The whole Rubble family. (I just want to let everyone know that my niece has a Halloween party every year so we don't just dress up to go trick or treating, however, I do enjoy dressing up so I just use that as my excuse.)

This is cousin Ethan giving some pirate love.

Lincoln had a good time trick-or-treating, he would go to most doors but was reluctant at the "sca-wee" houses. He didn't understand the concept of collecting candy and wanted to eat each piece as it was given. (Hopefully this lady doesn't mind she's in the pic, no idea who she is.)

There was a pinata at the party and Lincoln got a few good hits in. I think he was confused that we were encouraging him to hit things with the bat.


I am adding this picture in because my child ceases to amaze me. Who knew that an almost 2-year old could play air hockey. He is quite the little grown-up.

That concludes our fun-filled Halloween weekend. Hopefully everyone has come out of their sugar comas and is ready for the start of another week.
