Update: Part 2

We hosted a Halloween Party for our friends.  (Shh... don't tell Kenedy and Hadyn.  It was during school hours.)  Hudson had a blast with his little buddies!

Update: Part 1

I'm calling this Part 1 because I've been awake since 4:15 am and I'm sure I won't last long sitting at this computer.  I'll start by saying... and I'm not complaining... or maybe I am... but I've been extraordinarily tired, weak and a bit sick with this pregnancy. I'm anemic this time around, for the first time, and it's really hard to get used to.  I'm normally the pregnant girl everyone hates, not because of my huge weight gain, obviously, but because I feel better pregnant than not pregnant.  I never got sick, tired, uncomfortable, or had virtually any pregnancy symptoms, and I slept alot better.  That is, until now.  But I will say, I still love being pregnant!  And if you have to "pay" for a baby somehow, I'm hoping it's now.


We've been extremely busy during the last few months of holidays.  This is my favorite time of year and we've been cramming any and all Thanksgiving and Christmas activities into the little time that it's here.  I could post about a fun activity nearly everyday if I could find the time, energy, or office privacy.  Hudson likes to sit in my lap at the computer and take over the keyboard.  And if he's asleep, then I'm usually trying to do the same.


So, since I have a minute... Here's Part 1 of ??? Parts:


Kenedy got a new barrel horse, Special.  My cousin, Jamie ran barrels on her when she was younger and she is just a perfect fit for Kenedy.  Thanks, Jamie!
