Enjoying the Weather

This past week has had wonderful weather. It's been so nice to have lots of sunny days in a row after so much rain. Ben and I took our last trip to the zoo on Thursday. Today was the last day that it was open for the regular season. They do have weekends open for their special Halloween stuff, but I don't think we'll make it out for that. It will be a long wait for it to open again in April!

This month is so busy. The calendar is filled with stuff everyday. I'm afraid it will go by so quickly and November will be here before we know it. We also have trips planned to visit each side of the family and Ben's 4th birthday on the 30th. Somehow I don't think November will slow down much either with getting things ready for the baby and Christmas.

On Friday, we were able to meet some friends at Leo park. Ben had fun running around with his buddy Austin. He must have gotten worn out because after we came home and ate lunch he asked, "Is it almost my rest time? Because I'm really tired." He still takes naps most days, but I don't remember him asking to take one. I think I should have him run around the park more often! :)

Enjoying December

I'm glad we had time to make sugar cookies together. Christmastime does not seem complete without them. I frosted the cookies while Ben and Curt decorated.  Lots of sprinkles and chocolate chips!  Ben loved getting slippers and a robe with his "Christmas Eve" jammies. He does love to be cozy. We decided to move up our present opening a day early because we thought I might end up in the hospital on Christmas. But, today is the 27th and still no baby. So we were a bit off on that one.  Santa brought the Lewis Hamilton car that Ben had asked him for. He was very excited!  The new pirate ship has been a favorite. He has played with it a TON a last few days.  Ben also got a few more pirate dress-up things. I've heard "Aarg!" a lot lately. :)  My parents came yesterday for a visit since my dad has this week off of work. We're hoping that I'll have the baby while they are here, but I'm not sure that is going to happen since they head home tomorrow. Ben ...

Today I turned 30 years old. I didn't think that it would make me feel old, but it kinda does. :) I had a wonderful birthday. Curt went out and got us donuts for breakfast. Then, I got to open my presents. He did a great job shopping and I love everything he picked out! For lunch we went out to Olive Garden and then stopped by the mall for a little while. We spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing at home. I hope this getting older doesn't mean that gray hairs are going to start showing up! While I got ready this morning, Curt got out his old car track. He hasn't used it in many years, so he wasn't sure if it would work. Ben loved watching the cars race around the track. We enjoyed eating lunch at Olive Garden. Ben was too interested in coloring to look up at the camera. I love cheesecake for my birthday and Curt made this one for me all by himself. It is a chocolate chip recipe that is one of my favorites. He only added one candle per decade...we didn't ...
