Christmas

The three of us have had a very busy few weeks with the holidays! Party after party...it just hasn't stopped! Here's a few photos of our last few weeks...


First, Max's daycare Christmas Party the Friday before Christmas.

Here's a photo of the Apple Blossom Gang -

Next it was on to the Arbour holiday gathering at Ray's parents house...

Max & Jackson warming up their feet by the heater after stepping outside in the snow!

Then it was onto my sisters house for a Christmas Eve CHOCOLATE FONDUE (MMMM!)

CHRISTMAS DAY...

Max at home opening up his gifts from "Santa"

Opening more gifts at Aunt Lori's with Garrett, Blake, Alex, Grandma & Papa...

The rest of the week...

Going stir crazy in the house with Mommy all week so we had to get creative...

Visiting Uncle James, Aunt Crystal, Stone & Fallon in Massachusetts for New Years...

Lastly, other updates-

The Baby's room is coming along - all the electrical is done, the heating is in, framing and Sheetrock is done. It's actually starting to looking like a room! Photos to come soon!

I went to the Doctor's yesterday and am still measuring a week ahead but everything is looking great! 8 weeks and counting!!

Happy 2008!

The latest and greatest...

So we've been busy, real busy it seems. Busy with Max just being a typical 3 year old, getting the room ready for baby #2's arrival (less than 12 weeks away!!) and gearing up for the holidays.


The baby's room is slowly coming along. Here are a few updated photos...

Saturday we took Max to Sesame Street Live which he was mesmerized by and couldn't get enough of. Three is the perfect age for this!

Today went sledding with some of Max's friends from daycare. Well Ray and Max slid, I went down once with Max and of course flipped and pretty much squashed both kids (the one outside my belly and the one inside) so needless to say I opted not to do that again!

To end the CRAZY weekend Max and I went over to Grandma & Papa's to do a little snowshoeing. Max strapped 'em on and was walking on them like there was nothing to it!

On the baby front - I'm feeling great! No complaints. Starting to really pop nowadays (just over 28 weeks)

Max's 3rd BIRTHDAY!

Yesterday was Max's 3rd Birthday and today we had a party with family & friends. He had a blast!! Here are a few photos from his party...

Max's buddy Gavin taking a swing at the pinata!

Max hit the jackpot!!

Mad scramble!!!

Other news - I'm getting bigger and bigger by the day - only 13 weeks until this bugger arrives! The baby's room is coming along slowly but surely. Ray's hoping to spend a good part of the day on it tomorrow while Max and I do some Christmas decorating.

Happy December!!

We've got our work cut out...

Well just over three months and counting before baby #2 arrives and we haven't started his room. Here's how it's looking these days....YIKES!! (believe it or not this is going to be a finished room!)

Our goal is to get it cleaned out this today and tomorrow and then with the long Thanksgiving weekend start putting up the walls.

Also, today we went to my parents house to celebrate my Dad's (Papa's) birthday. Here a photo of the gang with Papa...

Busy weekend

Another busy weekend! Saturday we went over to my sisters to help her with cutting down some trees - both Ray & Max had a blast with this. (Especially Ray with a chainsaw!)

Today we took Garrett (6 year old nephew) to "Touch a Truck" It was fun and both Garrett and Max enjoyed playing on the Army trucks, Fire trucks, Duck Boat and the highlight...the HUMMER LIMO (go figure!) Since it was at Scarborough Downs we had the chance to check out some horse racing going on as well!

Also, baby update...

Went to the Doctor's on Friday and all looks good (23 weeks now!). The baby is measuring a few days big but they said that they aren't gong to change my due date - I'm just headed for another BIG baby - OH JOY! Both his and my stats are great! He's moving around quite a bit these days!

One last picture...Max just being is the cute kid he is...

Boston weekend

This past weekend we went to Boston for a wedding and then met Ray's Mom and brother, Steven (who was in from Denver for a conference). The weekend was amazing, highs in the upper 70's!! We had a great time at Ray's friend from college, Jamie and his new wife, Michelle's wedding! We then met Diane and Steven in Boston for lunch, a little playing in a water fountain and a Duck tour - which Max was fascinated by! Here are a few photos from the weekend!

Why do men always have to do this? :-)
