Big Ben's Pumpkins with the Martins

We went to get some pumpkins with our neighbors...the girls had a blast just running through the corn fields and near-by fields...

We are so lucky to have three great little girls right across the street ;0)

St. Charles Scarcrow Festival

A cold and windy day but we braved it to attend the St. Charles Scarecrow Festival. It was great fun and will definately head back next year!

Emily at gymnastics

Emily loves, loves, loves gymnastics. It is her absolute favorite thing. She has decided to have a gymnastics party for her 4th birthday in January.

Siatic Nerves

Not sure if I will spell this right, but...little Jimmy has decided to plant himself on my siatic nerve. OUCH!!! Very huge OUCH!!! I didn't have this with the girls so I didn't know what it was. I kinda delt with a dull pain in my lowerback and butt for a few weeks with the occasional sharp jab or shreiking pain. Then it was like never-ending pain. Anyway, the doctor gave me Tylenol 3s and Jimmy decided to move back to a good position. So, I hope he stays there for the next 6 weeks! ;0) I officially declare this is definately it ;0) No more pregnancies!!!!...(probably ;0)

Jimmy

30 weeks and feeling great. Jimmy is definately a mover\kicker\total body disturber and must have a ton of hair because the heartburn is crazy. I think he will be nuts. He is almost 3lbs now and I measuring normal so he should be average size. I love this pregnancy...I have only gained 2olbs and can't believe how great I feel compared with the other two! The first 4 months were rough but since then it has been the opposite. Just a bit tired and lots of pressure on my bones now...but all normal inconviences of pregnancy. This is all making me think I could do another!!!!

Nursery is done. We are overloaded with stuff and cloths so totally prepared. Can't wait to see what he looks like!

Flower Girls!

September 13th - Grandma Judd became Grandma Lane! The girls were very excited to be flower girls...to get all fancied up! Reilly had a hilarious pout down the aisle but was so excited to be able to eat tons of sweets that day! Emily was beaming down the aisle and loved getting her hair done with curls and flowers!

Will post more pics of the wedding once I give the pics to Barb!

Kindergarten

Reilly at her "Sneak Peak". She loves that she has a locker!

First Day...of course, we needed a new dress.

Smiles getting off the bus on the first day...Yeah!

Reilly is doing great and to our surprise seems to enjoy Kindergarten. She loves her teacher, Mrs. Parkhill, a White Sox Fan. She loves her class and has a new friend, Melanie. She loves the bus, gets to sit with Ali - our neighbor who isn't in the same class :0( and has also made a new bus friend, Vanessa. She doesn't complain (although she tells me she wishes she didn't have to go everyday) and has tons to tell me when she gets home.

I am bad mom - no picks of Emily at school. Oops!
