Halloween and other happenings

So, for the few of you that read this blog, yes, we're still alive and kicking. It's been a busy time and things are happening, but we're still here. So, I'll give you the updates and make you wait in anticipation for the pictures.:)

As of November 24th, I will no longer work at the National Institutes of Health. We have so much to do in getting ready to move (we just need to sell our house, and then are planning on renting in the area) that I have no time to get it done on my days off! So, in order to make for a less stress life, I'll be stopping work to get things in order here at home before this baby comes. I honestly can't wait to tackle my closets...I've been wanting to get at them for quite some time.

We will find out the baby's gender (provided shim cooperates) on November the 25th.

Thanksgiving with the folks on November 26th! What a great week!!!

The morning sickness is still prevalent, but only on the mornings where I have to wake up for work...something about getting up before 6 in the morning-believe me, I've tried everything there is to think of to not get ill, and it's simply the time I wake up. Another perk to not working anymore (besides not having to commute over an hour anymore!!!) is that I always get up after the timing that would make me sick.

Jer begins his paramedic class in just a couple of short weeks...afterward he'll go from having 5 college credits to his name, to over 40! I'm so proud of him, and he's on his way to a degree (at very least an associate's) faster than we realize. Though the class won't give him an increase in salary, he'll be that much closer to finishing school so he can find a job he loves AND that pays well.:)

And now...on to pictures.


My mom got Misha a Dora backpack not too long ago, here she is receiving it! She absolutely loves it, and was wearing it all through the episodes she was watching yesterday.






We of course took a trip to the pumpkin patch to pick our pumpkins this year. Here are her and Jer picking out a little one for Misha.



My little Dorothy (with Toto of course!)


(Sorry it's blurry!!)


The First House

(She actually tried to give them candy out of her basket...isn't she just the sweetest?!?)


Right before getting scared by a fake spider on the porch...it was the only thing that scared her the whole night!



The Loot



I've been experimenting with my new camera-as you can tell from the fuzzy pictures above...sometimes I wish I had an automatically focusing lens...but Misha is a blast to shoot when she's just being herself. She's playing with Jer's wedding ring here...



And here's winking at you kid...


Yes, she can wink with just one eye...isn't my kid talented!

Hope everyone's good-we'll be letting you know the gender in just a couple of weeks, so stay tuned Slackers!
