Newest News from this fall - We're having a baby boy! No names chosen yet, so feel free to post with your suggestions! March 3 is your deadline!Halloween was also very fun. Ellie was really shy at first. She didn't want to say anything at about the first 5 doors. So Brad threatened her that if she didn't start saying, "Trick or Treat," that we would go home. And wouldn't you know, the very next house she was all smiles and said, "Trick or Treat" and "Thank you" no problem! By the end of the night, she was telling us to "Wait right here" about 10-15 feet away, while she walked all by herself up to the door, knocked, and did her thing. It was just about the cutest thing I've seen - a tiny little independent 3 year old knocking on a door asking for candy. The Halloween candy is still around, though the chocolate pieces are dwindling faster than the others (who me?). She was a cute little witch.
And lastly is a little video of Ellie doing some dot-to-dots. It's a little long. More for the grandparents if you know what I mean. Just showing off my genius child. This was the first time her and I had really sat down and talked about how to do a dot-to-dot and she picked it up pretty fast.
I'm doing good with pregnancy. A little sick in the beginning, but all smiles now. Still teaching school twice a week. I realized I only have about 5 lessons for each of my two classes left before I'm all done! That is thrilling, to say the least! I've started listening to Christmas music (online streaming of Utah's KOSY station, you can hear it in the background of the dot-to-dot video). I think November is going to fly by and Christmas will be here before we all know it. Well, Thanksgiving will be here really really before we know it! The Holiday season has begun!

What a cute witch Ellie is! I can't believe how grown up she looks! I love the picture of her with the umbrella on a previous blog. Congratulations on having a boy! You'll have to tell me what it's like having a boy vs. a girl!
I meant that picture of Ellie on a previous post, not previous blog. By the way, Annika is enjoying looking at pictures of Ellie and remembering who she is!
I'm glad you guys are doing well. Yay a boy to be a pro athlete like dear old Dad. Hope you have a great thanksgiving.
Congrats on your pregnancy! How fun it'll be for you guys to have a little boy. Sounds like you had a fun Halloween - Ellie's costume is cute :)
Ellie looks so cute. Congratulations on the new pregnancy! That is so exciting.
Congratulations! I bet Brad's tickled to have a boy. Oh, I have a whole list of boys names :) Ellie was such a cute witch!
Congrats, how fun for Ellie to have a little brother to take care of. Hope all goes well with the rest of the pregnancy!
I heard "Paul" or "Dana" are good names. Whoever has one of those names turns out to be smart, good-looking, athletic... you get the idea.
Congrats on the pregnancy!
Contrats on the boy! They are so much fun! Ellie was an adorable witch! I really can't believe how grown up she is!
