Halloween Fun

This year for Halloween Megan dressed up as Cinderella. Her Aunt and Uncle Michael got her a dress from the disney store with all the accessories. She has played in the dress frequently and was very excited to go tirck or treating in it. Mom and Dad have better pictures from their visit but I'll have to wait for them to send me the CD before I can post them.

Mommy and Evan passed out candy while everyone else went out. Daddy came back and joined us after playing photographer.
It rained all evening but that didn't stop the fun for us. I think it did cut down on the total number of kids out that night. We were expecting more kids than we saw out that night.

Megan joined up with Anna and neighbor for a little while.

Proud Grandparents.

Playing together already.

OK so I've been trying to upload photos for a couple of days and something kept going wrong, but here we go.

Mom and Dad came in town on Wednesday night and we spent Thursday getting the house ready for the new arrival. Dad spent the week fixing odds and ends around the house and mom did tons of cooking and cleaning. It was wonderful having them around.

Here's mom and Megan at the grocery store. Megan loves pushing around the little carts. She feels all grown up.

Very early on Friday morning David and I took off for the hospital for my induction. After waiting for an hour to get into our room, things progressed fairly rapidly. My OB broke my water around 9AM and the pitocin was already going. By 11 the contractions were pretty bad and I got my epidural a little bit later. After a couple of adjustments I was very comfortable. Around 12:30 I was 5cm dilated and 95 percent effaced and the morning doc left. The afternoon doc was scheduled for a C-section at 1:30 and I was told she'd come check on me afterwards. Well at 12:45 I started having alot more pressure in my pelvis so my nurse asked my doc to check on me before the C-section. She arrived at 12:50 and Evan was delivered at 1:11PM. Everything was pretty much finished by 1:30.

This is me right before leaving for the hospital.
Evan at a few minutes old. He's got a good set of lungs.

Ahh this is better.

8lbs 5oz and 21 inches long.

The proud papa. Too bad that chair was so uncomfortable. David got even less sleep than I did.

The proud big sister. Megan has been very good with her little brother.

David and Grandpa took Megan to the Air and Space Museum while mommy and grandma stayed home with Evan.

We had a nice visit with Joanie, Cassie and Kelda Sunday night. They were in town for ballet certifications. Megan had a great time with her coousins (as always).

We took advantage of a nice warm afternoon to get a little sun.

Here's the proud grandma giving Evan his second bath. Hmmm somehow I don't have any pictures of me giving him the first one. Must be our second child. Mom I'll really need your photos downloaded.

Megan just wants to be close. She keeps saying. "Mom you have two kids now."

Ok well more later. I see I need some more close up shots of Evan. For some reason I can't upload the ones Joanie took.

September and October Update

I had to do this post before the New Baby update. In September we went up to New York to meet Megan's new cousin Landon. We thought of it as sort of a trial run to see how Megan would interact with an infant. She thought Landon was great and getting to hold him was the best.

We mostly hung out in the apartment this time. Mommy wasn't so mobile at this point.
Megan got her Cinderella costume from her Auntie and Uncle. She has worn it almost every day since. It left quite the trail of glitter around the apartment.

Megan discovered WII bowling.

We took one day to go to the Aquarium in New Jersey. I don't remember what this face is all about.

Megan graduated from the daycare to preschool this year. This is her at her cubby on the first day of preschool.

We've also started Megan in a ballet and tap class on saturday. Our little drama queen loves her dancing class.The three of us went to my company picnic this fall. Megan spent the entire time in the Moonbounce with the other kids.

This fall we took another trip out to Cox Farms for the slides, hayride, pumkins etc. This was our last big outing before the new baby was due.

We arrived early and went to feed the goats. We were obviously the first ones and the goats were very hungry. They tried to snack on our clothes.

Here we are on the hay ride.

My little pumkin.

David took Megan to great falls park one weekend while mommy napped. She came home and told me all about the bears and giraffes they collected on their hike.

Here is Megan posing with the bear she found on her walk.

July and August 2009

So we're finally moved in to our new Townhome and things are starting to settle down a little. (At least for the next 6-8 weeks until baby bear #2 arrives.) Mom, Lisa and AJ came to visit just a few days after we moved. Lisa was wonderful to me and helped clean all my floor. Wanna come do it again??? Just kidding. They were a big help getting us settled.

Here's grandma reading to her favorite toddlers.We did get in a couple of fun things like our trip to the park. Mom and the kids spent lots of time on the patio blowing bubbles and playing playdough.

We had a little early birthday party for Megan. She did not want to blow out here candles. The "candles" were improvised- don't know what happened to the others between the grocery store and the house.

Megan and AJ chased each other round and round the family room.

Halmuhni came to visit the day after Mom and Lisa left. Megan was in grandma heaven for almost 3 weeks. It was great to have her here especially since David was so sick with the Flu and than pneumonia.

I think Halmuhni spent 2 days playing "Cave" with Megan. There were lots of giggles.

Megan loves to help chop vegatables for dinner. Megan and Halmuhni took several trips to the park while mommy was at work.The three of us did take a trip to the zoo. Megan acted like a bit of a turkey most of the time but she did enjoy the bird house and the mist sprayers.We had another party on Megan's Birthday date. Her number 3 balloon was bigger than her.

In mid August we took a quick roadtrip to Columbus to visit family and also so David could escape to Indianapolis for a day for his Fantasy football draft party. We all had a wonderful time.

On Friday we took a trip to Magic Mountain to play "golf golf." The kids were hilarious.
Megan would hit the ball once or twice then pick it up put it right next to the hole and tap it in. AJ took the more direct approach and just dropped it in the hole right away.

Some of Megan's favorite activities at Grandma and Grandpa's house are feeding the birds and picking vegetables from the garden. This time she and AJ went after the tomatoes.

I had to take a picture of grandma getting a special bird bath water pedicure from AJ.

Some of the FAM joined us for a cookout on Friday evening. Megan enjoyed playing with her cousin Emma.

Auntie Ruthie joined the kids in the Frog tent.

It was great to see the Columbus family. We missed all of the out of towners.

Saturday night was a little chilly. Megan borrowed AJ's sweatshirt and curled up with a blanket for her afternoon snack.
