Busy, busy, busy!

Since Halloween, things have been so busy! Between trick-or-treating, Thanksgiving, visiting family, planning for baby, and getting our Christmas tree up, I feel like we've been going non-stop!

Here's a nice family Halloween pic our neighbor Barbara took of us when we visited her:

Kelcie has been wanting to cut her hair for a little while now, and I suggested donating it to Locks of Love (Marina and I both donated our hair earlier this year). So after 10 or so inches, here's her new short 'do:

River is our budding entrepreneur :) Here she is "helping" daddy build a pedal!

A few days before Thanksgiving, we visited my grandma and aunt up in the desert. The kids and I had been sick earlier in November, but unfortunately Brian caught the bug the day before we visited, so he stayed home in bed.

Thanksgiving day brought more family visits. Brian's aunt visited us from Las Vegas. Too bad River wouldn't sit still for the pic :(

Marina got her first trimester report card a few weeks ago, and did very well (which we expected). The school had an awards ceremony this month, and she received 3 awards: Perfect Attendance, Honor Roll, and a special achievement award in Language Arts for her reading. She's reading about 24o words per MINUTE and the average 3rd grader is expected to read 80 wpm.

I got a surprise at a scrapbooking crop Dec. 5th, when a few ladies threw me a little baby shower! Everything was blue; very cute!

And here's my baby bump at 32 weeks (almost 33 wks now)

And last but not least, a recent layout. River looked absolutely adorable for Halloween as Little Red Riding Hood!

Well, that's it for now... will post some Christmas pics after we get the tree decorated! TFL!
