Disney on Ice

We went to see Disney on Ice Friday night with Grammie, Granddaddy, Aunt Shanna, Uncle Brent, Macenzie, and Abbie. It was Drew's very first "kid show" and he absolutely LOVED it!! As soon as Mickey and Minnie came out on stage, he broke out in a huge smile, clapping, saying "Mickey skatin', Mommy, Mickey skatin'!!" It was so much fun to watch. He also loved the Cars part... "Look, there Lightnin' Queen!!"

Anna Caitlin was a little more hesitant at first. For all of those who know her well, you know she has a HUGE fear of characters when she cannot see their face. The last time we went to Disney World, she took off running in the opposite direction when her path crossed with Tigger. She also hates Chuck E Cheese. So, when Mickey and the gang came out on stage, she begged to leave or go sit on the top row. Once we finally convinced her that the characters could not get off the ice, she calmed down and really enjoyed the rest of the show. The last time Mickey came out, she said "Mommy, I'm not scared anymore. We can go back to Disney World now!!" We may test that theory a little bit more before we plan our next trip!

The Pumpkin Patch

Saturday was our annual trip to Burt's Pumpkin Patch. Mama Judi, Papa Johnny, Aunt JenJen, and Raylie got to go with us this year. It was Raylie's very first trip to a pumpkin patch. We are working on Aunt JenJen who does not believe in carving pumpkins...we may have to invite Ray over to carve with us!!

The hayride is always a favorite, and Drew really enjoyed the talking pumpkins. He even talked back to them this year!! And of course, it would not be a trip to Burt's without "driving" the tractor!! They both picked out their own little pumpkins...a bumpy one for Anna Caitlin and an albino one for Drewsey. They can hardly wait to carve their big pumpkin!!

And Baby Makes FIVE!!

The news is out. Anna Caitlin and Drew are going to have a new baby brother or sister. Anna Caitlin is so excited she can hardly stand it!! All she talks about is carrying around the new baby. Not sure that is such a good idea. Drew has been in denial for a while now. He tells us "I not have a baby." When we ask him if he is going to be a big brother, his response is "no, sissy is." Hope it is not too much of a shock to him when the baby is really here!!

Jonathan and I are very excited also. I got to hear the heartbeat for the first time this week, which is always amazing. I am going to enjoy every part of this, because this will be our last one. So, I am going to do my best to savor every last minute (once I get past the yucky part of pregnancy...that I just cannot savor!!).
