Thanksgiving in Asheville

We spent the two days after Thanksgiving in Asheville with my family. We went from 75 degrees in Aiken to low 30's and 40's in Asheville. It was wonderful! Good food, catch up time with the families, and fun watching the little cousins bond!

Thanksgiving and I'm getting crafty

This is about as far as my decorative talents go, but I thought it would be fun to be crafty this year. I made the wreath from scratch (thanks to Hobby Lobby) and the rest is just accumulations of years past. I also repainted our front door since it was looking shabby. 

Oh facebook!

Bath time!

Photo booth Fun!

I had never been at a wedding with a photo booth before. So I was quite intrigued by what it would turn out. Thanks to Tara and Daniel, here are the results.

Apparently lots of this:

And this: 

And again:

But eventually we got it right :)

Yay photo booth! 

Exciting News!

CLAIRE WALKED!!!!! 

Here's a video of this momentous occasion, along with other general cuteness. 

Baby #2 update

So far this pregnancy has been really different from the last one. Some parts good different, some parts bad different. 

The good: 

No ovarian cyst this time, so I've been able to keep working out and running

Which means I haven't gained any weight so far (!)

I haven't thrown up once

I'm not working, so I can nap whenever I want :)

And lastly, I'm not as repelled by quite so many foods as last time

The bad:

I am tired ALL THE TIME (I could seriously sleep 15 hours a day)

I may not have thrown up, but when I do feel sick, it's more than nausea - it's pain everywhere

More headaches than last time

More dizziness than last time

And of course, I have Claire needing me so I can't melt down in the middle of the day

All in all, it's going pretty well and we are so excited to find out what we're having. Unfortunately, that won't be until the end of December. But I have my guesses........ :)
