14 Pounds and counting...

Well, I had my monthly checkup with Dr. Downey today. The baby's heartbeat sounds great and I am doing great, too. I have gained 14 pounds since my pregnancy and my belly measures 22 inches, which is right on target with my 23 week progress. I am all baby, as my tummy is just sticking way out there. It seems to be the only thing growing, thank God, as nothing else has really gotten big. Madeline had her fourth and final Halloween event today. Little to say, we are trick or treated out! Bret is still juggling work and police academy and it is starting to take a toll on him. Dec 4 won't get here fast enough, but then of course he will have to begin job hunting. Keep us in your prayers as he hunts for a police department. The sooner he gets hired, the sooner we will know where we will be moving and settling. All this to say it will all happen around the time little Landon is due. God help us!

Halloween Carnival #2

Lake Pointe Church had a Fall Festival and of course, we were there! Little Miss Red Raider had fun with Nana, Mommy and Aunt Amy. Bounce houses, kettle corn, and pony rides made for a fun Halloween experience.

Mommy and Me...Two Red Raiders in a Pod!

Look at these two...Aren't we so cute! I have no idea where she gets her love for Texas Tech from (haha), but Madeline makes the most adorable future Red Raider we have ever seen. I guess it is in her blood...

Halloween Carnival #1

Aunt Amy took Madeline to the Wylie Fall Festival. This was Madeline's first of four Halloween events this year. Amy was a little girl this year and tried to borrow Madeline's hair bows for her girlie costume...well, Amy had to go buy her own. "How 'bout we shut my hair drawer and not take any?" said a non-sharing Madeline to her sweet Aunt. We are very possessive of our stuff these days! And of course, Madeline was a Texas Tech Cheerleader.

Here's the three of us...Mommy, Daddy and Madeline with Jack, our pumpkin friend, scooped at by Daddy, grossed out by Madeline (she was not too fond of the gooey inside) and carved out by Mommy. Happy Halloween 2005!

Happy Halloween

Look at little miss Madeline helping to make Halloween desserts. Chocolate covered bananas with almonds were a big hit!
