A snapshot of December 2010

And when I say "snapshot" I mean it. Things are always hectic in December so there are no beauty shots here. Just fun memories. From dance recitals to school recitals to the Polar Express in Williams, we kept busy all month. In order to wrap up our "photo album" of 2010, here are a string of misc. December photos of things we don't want to forget!

Passing out from all the excitement :)

Quincy's New Bike

-Dad

The results are in!

Well, they've been in for a few weeks, but as usual, I am slacking. We are having a BOY & a GIRL! We are so excited. We can put all Quincy's girly stuff back to good use but we also get to experience a little terror that I call a boy! My latest dilemma has been how to tackle a nursery suited for both. I am so used to thinking in pink and frills. The whole boy thing has thrown me for a loop. I've been collecting ideas for the nursery (see below). Of course, my focus has been on the fun (& costly) stuff. There is so much prep to do! We spent today clearing out the guestroom in order for our spring new arrivals. What do you think about the plans???? I asked Marshal, but all he seems to see is dollar signs :)

Way back when it was still Fall...

OMG. I keep getting further and further behind on everything. I was such a good little blogger when I first began, but I have been majorly slacking off in the past 6 months. I am attempting to catch up a little here. I think these photos are from back in October, so that means I'm only 3 months behind! Sheesh.

We kept busy in October, that's for sure. I love the holidays beginning in the fall, so I have our family constantly on the go. We did many things to celebrate fall, one of which was our annual trip to Schnepf Farms. I think it gets more fun every year although I almost forgot we went this year until I dug up the photos!

Below: Note my excuse for being fat is that I was preggo here.... I swear!







Watch Me Grow Cowboy Themed Trike-a-Thon
And... her second, third, fourth and fifth pony rides! This girl's been on more horses in three years than I have ever been!



Just because...
I needed to scout out a location for a shoot I was doing for a friend. Lesson: If you give a child a lollipop in order to get them to stay still for a photo, realize that you will not get a shot without a lollipop in their mouth. Argh.
