22 Weeks and counting!

Finally, a few belly shots- I was a little hesitant about taking belly pictures, but I think it's fun to watch it grow! You think you're big, but it just gets bigger! We will be 23 weeks on Dec 3rd. I may look small, but the baby is measuring perfectly normal, and I am gaining just enough weight! I'm sure we will see her push out very soon. Right now, she is hiding more towards my back, hence all of the back pain I am experiencing! Eventually, she will run out of room, and will have to expand her living space!

Finding the Perfect Tree

I think this was Kevin's first time cutting a fresh tree down. He won't admit it, I'm sure, but he was not so thrilled about the physical labor it entailed! We had fun searching for one that was not too big, but not too small either. Gage and Kaden wanted to help saw, but Kevin had a hard enough time doing it, so they just helped with the branches and carrying it back to the car.

Thanksgiving Weekend

Kevin and I celebrated our 1st Thanksgiving together this year! (hard to believe, I know)

We missed the boys dearly, but they enjoyed spending the holiday with their Dad and Grandparents in Cottage Grove.

Our New Home

We finally moved in to our new home! It was quite a challenge, but we had lots of help! It is still a work in progress, but we love it already! I will post more pictures soon. Here are a few, taken when we first looked at it.

Pumpkin Patch

We go to the same pumpkin patch every year- Baggenstos in Sherwood. They have an awesome corn maze- every year it's a different map. The boys love trying to figure out how to get from the entrance to the exit!

Lovely siblings

Thanks for coming to visit us Curt and Nate! We wish Alissa and Lou could have come too. Hope to see you all soon!

Our Wedding

We tied the knot August 9, 2008, in Cannon Beach Oregon. We thought the weather would hold up, but the rain and wind crept up on us, just as we started the ceremony! Needless to say, the ceremony was very short. They say it's good luck to have rain on your Wedding Day, so we'll go with that!

Gage's Baseball Team at States

We are so proud of Gage and his team! They started out a little iffy, but proved us all wrong, and placed 3rd in the State! Congratulations Team Criscola!!!
