Halloween!!

Happy Halloween Everyone! Meg was Elmo this year (well, more accurately, she allowed us to put the costume on long enough to have a few pictures taken).
We are hoping to take her through our neighborhood trick-or-treating tonight, but the weather is very rainy, so we only have about a 50/50 chance of that being an option...
In other news, we are getting ready for the new addition, and Meg is getting ready by being a very challenging 19 1/2 month old - she has opinions about everything, but can't quite get it into words, so instead it comes out in whining and temper tantrums...Everyone says this is normal...We'll just keep working with her and hopefully she'll learn sooner rather than later.

Our New Deck!!

We couldn't be more excited...It's a whole new "room" on our house!

Time Is Flying By!

I can't believe Margaret is already 18 months old! It seems really impossible that we already have a one and a half year old - along with all the temper tantrums and other introductions of independence that come with that age....fun stuff for the parents, let me tell you!
She's talking more and more every day - and last night for the first time we said "I love you" and she responded with something that sounded a lot like "I love you." (it could be wishful thinking, and I'm sure she's just repeating, not sure what it means...but a mom can hope)!
Her new words are "watch," "Elmo" (ugh), "fish," and something that sounds like "blanket." - she's more and more her own little person!!
We finally bought Margaret her own big girl bed, but so far (since we haven't received it) we haven't moved her in - we hope to do that in the next week or two.
Also, 7 weeks from right now (God willing) we will have a new addition to our family (talk about time flying by)!!
