Here are a few pictures to help catch up on my blogging. Liesl has been a great help around the house. She was an enormous help with the leaves this year no matter what this picture looks like. She always wanted to go out there and help pick them up. So I guess our yard will look that much better next year. I dont think I posted any pictures of her in her halloween outfit this year. She had tons of fun in her rapunzel dress and she uses it alot to play dress up. Gavin and Liesl have been doing more visiting now that I am out of work. We visited the nature center a few weeks ago and took pictures under thier tree. Friday the 4 of us went to the mall so Heather could get some stuff done and Liesl and Gavin played in the Play area, visited Disney Store and we had a nice lunch in the Coney Island. Thanks Heather for the treat. After the mall we all went into Rochester Hills to have story time with Mrs Claus. We listened very well considering our level of tired. Liesl participated well with the story time and helped out Mrs Claus while she read "Elf on a Shelf" and "Reindeer Magic". The kids got to have christmas cookies and make a reindeer candy cane project. I think they enjoyed themselves alot. Liesl and I are looking forward to finishing up our suprise craft with Gavin and Heather.
Everything went very well with the ultrasound and the last appointment with our little Jeanie (yes it is a Girl). The Dr told us the ultrasound indicated everything ok and that she was about 13 oz at the time. We all know how accurate that weight thing is with ultrasounds though. Liesl was a lot lighter than the ultrasound indicated. Since that appt she has been moving and grooving in there and I really can feel her kick and squirm all of the time. Can really feel it on the outside too. Cant wait for Liesl to catch her little sisiter moving in there. We visited the Home Depot and picked out paint for the girls rooms and some for the rest of the house and are hoping to get that all underway. Girls rooms first of course. There is a lot to spackle around here though and a little bit of wallpaper borders but nothing too major. Friday we will be getting insultation in here and hopefully our heating and cooling will drastically improve. Taking advantage of some tax breaks and a consumers edison break. Should help alot. We looked at tile for the dining room and it looks like that is out. We will be getting new carpet as soon as we can though. This stuff we have is UG-LY.
