It's A.......

Well, we had an ultrasound today and we are having......another boy!!! We are VERY excited, but are both a little surprised because we were thinking we were having a girl. I guess my motherly instincts with Weston were a fluke and now I won't try to guess again! We are excited that the boys will be close in age and are hoping this will make them not only close brothers but also great friends:) When we found out, I told my mom that my tiredness (still haunting me even though I am suppose to feel more energized in the second trimester) now makes sense- God is preparing me for life with two boys! We have a name in mind already, but now that I know for sure he is a boy I am going to look at other names before I fully commit. Oh, and by the way, as I sit here typing this post I can feel our little guy move lots and I love it!

Visit From The Beavers

Last week we were visited by our good friends from Texas, the Beavers (Benj, Mary, and their daughter Julia)! We have a special place in our hearts for the Beavers because when we were in Texas they were like our family. They were there for us when we needed them and we always had a good time hanging out together. When we left Texas we didn't know when we would see each other next, but we got the opportunity for a little reunion already:)

Julia, Weston, and Gianna

We didn't consider the weather to be that great when they were here, but they enjoyed it. While they were here we were able to watch the Oktoberfest parade, go out to dinner at the Trempeleau Hotel, play lots of board games, and go to a pumpkin patch/apple orchard. Overall, we were so glad to see them again and were sad when it all was over.

Weston enjoyed looking at and picking up the pumpkins (we opted for the pre-picked pumpkin patch experience since the official pumpkin patch was a little muddy).

The weather was a little chilly to pick apples, but the dads each picked one off the tree for the experience. It was also fun because Julia said "apple" for the first time and kept saying it very clearly the whole time we were there:)

Weston's first carmel apple- you have to eat one when you go to an apple orchard in the fall!

Weston literally fell asleep eating his apple:)
