Today we loaded up all the kids and took them to the Chinn Library for the annual Costume Parade. Here are a couple of pictures of all the kids. It was Christian's first time actually saying "trick or treat"! He enjoyed himself. We went eat a TJSH after. It was a good time and now i'm exhausted so it's time for a nap!
Do I see a smiling Dinosaur??? The only way that I could get Christian to put on his costume was with Carter! So thanks to Carter for making our little Dinosaur happy :-)
The Dr.'s apt went great this morning. We listened to the heartbeat which was an average of 150 and then we talked to Dr. Dob. She seemed really glad to see us. We also scheduled the big ultra-sound which will be on November 10th! Cannot wait!! All three of us Colin, Christian and Me have been sick for the last week!!! Which is never fun. I hope that by this weekend we are all well.
This past Saturday was filled with fun and exciting events. In the morning Sandra, Shelley and I threw Mariah her baby shower! It was such a wonderful event and I just wanted to Thank everyone who helped out and who came to support Mariah and her little girl. She got lots of great things and it was just such a blessing to share those moments with such a great friend. After the shower Colin and Christian headed back home from their much needed Daddy and Christian time. They went over to hang out with Sandra's husband and their two kids while the shower was taking place. Shelley lost her keys but luckily they weren't really lost. They ended up in her jacket in the closet the whole entire time. WOWA lol At around 5:00 Colin and I left the house and headed out to our Sunday school's annual pumpkin carving party. We decided that we needed a game plan since this would be our first year. So we kept our template a secret just to show up and realize that it was on somone else's mind also. We had a great time with all of our friends and it was just nice to get out and go somewheres as a couple. This week is our Dr.'s apt and I will be updating later...
So our friends Jen and Ben welcomed their baby girl into the world at 5:30 p.m. She weighs 6lbs 10 oz. and is 19.5 inches long. And I think as of now she looks like Jen! What a blessing..
Please pray for our friends Jen and Ben Smith! Jen went into the hospital at 12 o'clock last night to be induced. Adriana Elise will be their first baby! We can't wait to see her make her appearance...
Today is my mom's birthday and I couldn't be more blessed to have her in my life. My mom and I's relationship has changed dramatically over the years. Especially when I had Christian. We became super close and to this day she's always considered my best friend. She has been there by my side when I had Christian and when I lost my Dad. I hope that she understands how much I love and appreciate her. It kills me that we are so far away and that Christian doesn't get to see her that often and neither do I but on the good side the distance has def. allowed me to grow as a person. Mom I really miss you ALOT! and I just wanted to thank you for everything that you have done for Christian and for myself. I love you so much. The above picture is a picture taken of Christian and my mom when he was only a few days old. It is by far my favorite picture of the two of them.
Our OBGYN Apt. is not until next week! I'm so anxious because I want to schedule the BIG ultra-sound!
So we finally had Christian Dedicated today and what a blessing it was. We have chosen to raise Christian in a christian home and we will continue to work on it everyday. I am so blessed to have him as my son and I wouldn't change it for the world. God has blessed me in so many ways but I myself have become a stronger christian because of my little one. I thank God everyday for allowing me to have children and to just be a better person than what I used to be. Having a son is such a joyous time in our lives. Both Colin and I are blessed to have Christian.
Colin came home one day early with a bouquet of flowers(super sweet) and a huge pumpkin. Christian was super excited about the pumpkin and I was just super excited to have Colin home early on his work Friday. That night we sat down and carved the pumpkin with Christian. He seemed to be very interested in it until Colin decided to shove his hands in the goopy pumpkin. Christian however did not like this one bit. Christian has however told anyone that he comes into contact with to "Put hands in" and then "I cried". Poor Jen had no idea what in the world Christian was talking about until I sat there and explained. So even though it seems as though he didn't like it, he has been talking about his little experience for the last week. Here are a couple of pictures from our pumpkin carving experience.
So today we took Christian to an apple orchard to pick apples. He really enjoyed it and he was able to run around without us holding on to him. We went along with Jen, Josh, and Raegan. It was something to do to get out of the house on such a beautiful day.
Good morning all! I am so glad that christian is no longer sick! I hope that he stays healthy so that we can actually get out this weekend and enjoy the beautiful weather! P.S. He no longer has pink eye which is a blessing. We are still praying for Aiden and we are hoping that his fever will break and he will be able to go home.
