Happiest boy ever!

This was Rory,all day long today! He was ALL smiles. He is normally so serious. I just thought since I had the camera handy,might as well capture the moment! He is talking a little more everyday. He has begun recognizing some of his numbers, even if he sees them written out of sequence. I feel assured that he will become a chatterbox in his own time, just like his brother. I love watching my boys as they growing and becoming more independent. It has been a wonderful distraction to keep my mind off how yucky I have been feeling. Lucky it can only last for so long!

Turkey shirt

Dakota made this shirt in school last week to wear for their thanksgiving feast. It was so sweet because he came home and said "look at my shirt I made Mommy....I made my big hand into a big turkey because I am getting really bigger!" I just thought, how does it get better than that!?! I love that he takes such pride in what he does. He wants to make another one for Rory, I may attempt it. Not sure when yet. But when it is finished, there will be pictures!

Are you ready for some football?

So there is no real purpose for these pictures,I just loved that the boys were decked out in their jerseys. It has been so very cold here lately,I think today got up to maybe 48 degrees. I know it doesn't sound that bad,but our being from Fl. the kis and I have been bundling up lately! Fuad is as always STILL in his shorts.... That's my crazy husband!

Dakota's turkey cookies

quick shot of our nicest turkeys!
I managed to get a quick picture of the Cookies we made for Dakota to take to school. He was the leader for the day and gets to bring in a snack for the class. I tried to have Dakota get a picture with his cookies,but he was not in the mood. Anyhow,I thought they came out super cute,and I know that some of you wanted to see what they came out like. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Jump on in!

These are some pictures we took of the boys playing in the fresh raked leaves. They really enjoyed themselves. The last one was taken later when we were playing around in Rory's room. I just thought the expression was too funny! Most the leaves have now ended up on the ground,and Dakota is promising that it means snow is coming. Sweet boy! I am so glad it at least will snow on occasion here. I thought he would never get a chance to play in the snow when we were living in Fl. And I love the fall season. I guess it is because it's one of those things you don't get in Florida. I am so happy we moved here!

IT'S A GIRL!

Today we went to have our ultrasound done...and we are expecting a healthy,baby girl!!! I am still floored that Dakota was right! He has told me from day 1 that it was going to be a girl. I just thought it was because most of his friends have little sisters,that he thought that was what happens when there is a new baby. Anyhow,we are very excited,and just very relieved to know the baby is healthy. So now we are thinking of middle names. Fuad came up with Rebecca Erin,to keep with a nice irish theme. I actually quite like it. We still have time to work it out though.
