Is it time for Thanksgiving already?

Time is really flying! Although, the more pregnant I get, the slower the days seem to go sometimes, until I sit down at the end of the day and realize all that happened. We have busily been getting ready for the Biscuit, who we have affectionately nicknamed "Buffy." (Hope the technician was right and it's a girl... otherwise, a little boy might be pretty confused!) Here is a picture of Mark and Dan painting the baby's room "silver peony." Mark said that they will have to hang some camoflauge around the room to make it more boy friendly. Then today he called her his little princess bear, so I think he is softening a little to the idea of a "daughter."

Daniel has been a mimic lately and loves to do whatever Eric is doing. Here they are reading books. As Mark learned early today, Little Bear will repeat ANYTHING you say... even it is something you would rather not have him hear.

We went to go see Santa last night to get pictures for the Christmas card. If you want to take a picture with your OWN camera, you have to buy a package of pictures from the "Elves" (read "scam artists") who sit with Santa. What a rip-off. Dan didn't nap yesterday so he slept right through Santa. Probably the only reason we got a picture of him with Santa. Here is a picture of Santa, Bear and Woobie. When I tried to wake Dan up so that he could actually see Santa both Mark and Santa cried "NO!" in unison...

Here is Eric pontificating to Santa Claus about the finer points of the gifts he wants for Christmas...

Daniel has been talking a lot lately as well. He got to have the job of "weatherman" at school last week, so each day they sang a song and he got to look out the window and tell them the weather. Then he put signs up on the weather wall that showed the weather. Now everyday he tells us what the weather is like outside.

Have a great Thanksgiving! More pictures later!
