Halloween Costume Party

Yet another party thrown on the Gregerson side of the family. (Absolutely no blood relation to us, but like family anyway) Kendall went as Glenda, Coy went as Cruella Devil, and Maggie was a skunk. It looks like a lot of fun, I wish we could have made it.

Foster Family Fall Brunch

The foster agency we are licensed through threw a brunch last Sat am. We planned to go, but then I changed my mind when Joel's departure interfered. Once and for all, we decided to go, and I'm glad we did. It took our (well my) mind off missing him for a few hours, and the kids had a ton of fun. There was a magician/comedian that was fun for me....a little over the kid's heads. There was also a clown that was a little scary, but he made some great balloon animals. As you can see, the kids were pretty tuckered out by the time we got home, but there was no way they were going to let go of the balloons!!

It's about that time...

What time is it you ask? Well, it's time to add another member to our family. I am officially knocked-up. The four tests I took all said the same thing, positive. We're very excited to be adding our new member in the first part of May 2009( this means I'm 11 weeks). I know a lot of you are hoping for a girl, but remember, a healthy baby is the best baby of all.

Applesauce and Kaleigh

The other day the boys and I made homemade applesauce. That means I risked my neck climbing up to pick the apples, then washed and peeled them. Then cut them, boiled them, and drained them. Ryan wanted to "mash" them, but when it came time, he decided he didn't want to cuz the apples were too soft. Go figure. Jake follows whatever Ryan does, so that means I mashed them. It doesn't look like much, but after I mixed in the cinnamon and dash of sugar, it was delicious!
