36 weeks.

Here we are at 36 weeks. Doing well but moving a little slower these days. Keeping busy with all our holiday fun and of course, weekly visits to my doctor. Phil and I recently took a tour of the hospital where I will deliver. Winnie Palmer Hospital in Orlando. Since I had never had a reason to go there before, we thought it might be a good idea to at least know where to park the car!

Four generations.

Christmas Eve & Morning.

We had a good Christmas and we celebrated Christmas Eve with Papaw, Mimi and GGmom. Emma and GGmom tackled some serious sticker time.

Christmas morning. Emma was happy to find a Tinkerbell outfit from Santa.
Emma groovin' in her DePaul cap that was in her Stocking. How did Santa know??

Yes, then the Tinkerbell outfit stayed on as we made our way across town to Papaw and Mimi's resort. Thanks to Aunt Wendy for the cute pink Santa hat.

Christmas in Florida.

Although Christmas day in Orlando was very overcast and rainy at times, the temperature was moderate. Therefore, Emma was able to enjoy the pool area for just a little bit at a resort that Papaw and Mimi were staying at. (the water was heated) After hanging out there for a while we spent Chirstmas afternoon at the Kutch's with Paul, Dolores, Ian, Uncle Carl, Papaw, Mimi and GGmom. (Later Paulie got off work) Unfortunately I did not take any pics while we were there....oops. (but we had a great time)

Emma practicing her Hungry, Hungry Hippo skills so she can take down Phil the next time they play. ( I never knew how loud this game was, oh boy.)

Doesn't everyone practice in their Tinkerbell outfit? By the way, this photo was taken the day AFTER christmas. I think the Tinkerbell outfit may be seen on a daily basis for awhile.

Turkey Day.

We celebrated Thanksgiving at our house with Harrison, aka Poppa. This was Phil and I's first solo hosting of the big meal. Luckily only 3 adults to serve.

Chef Phil handled the turkey and I took care of all the sides. I think we did ok.
Season changing. A few days after Thanksgiving, our Christmas cactus started to get some blooms. This is my FAV plant...I hardly ever mess with it and every year we get some cute pink blooms.

Happy Halloween.

We hope everyone had a great Halloween!! Emma was a kitty this year. She definitely enjoyed trick or treating more this year. We went early in the evening and then headed home to pass out candy. Emma loved answering the door and seeing all the other costumes too.

28 weeks.

So I have had a few requests to post a "belly pic." Here we are just before trick or treating. I am 28 weeks and feeling pretty well. Tired at times and moving a little slower these days. Baby Ashler loves to move around, day or night. (Especially after a few halloween treats.)
