ALMOST there

I am getting excited!!! We are four weeks away from this baby's due date, less than a month away, two weeks away from how far I was when Koen came, one week away from making "full-term"... if I can think of any other ways to make it sound close, I will be sure to include them. Once October 1st arrives, I'll excitedly be adding "coming this month" to my list.

Koen is getting more and more excited and I'm loving it! He has started to bring Baby Williams up regularly on his own and that Baby will be here soon. He looks forward to giving them a gift, which we need to go shopping for. He wants to talk to Baby Williams more often now, without us suggesting him to do so. He loves to say "Hi", "I love you," "Good morning" and so on. And he loves to give Baby Williams hugs and kisses. :)  Koen is sweet.

Koen loves being held close to his parents and sharing hugs and kisses with us. It's great. He occasionally asks for a hug "just because." He also loves to sit in our laps and request a belly and/or back rub, which he then lifts up his shirt and places our hands on his belly if we are not quick enough to do so. :) We love it.

We went to a Mastadon museum this last weekend. Lucky for us, they had extra fun things going on for archaeology day. The weather was PERFECT and Koen had a ton of fun. :)




Jon was in DC all of last week for a training. Koen and I decided to keep ourselves a little extra busy by starting some halloween decorations. They've been fun. I hope to make more of the mason jar guys so we can line our walk-way with them.




So today I tried to get Koen to take a picture with me. Let me show you how that typically goes:
1. Koen smiles but looks away from the camera.
2. Koen continues to look away and either has that expression because he thinks its too bright to look up, or this is torture!
3. After repeatedly telling Koen to "Look AT the camera" he decides to look as closely to the camera as possible. (It makes me laugh.)
4. The final attempt... apparently it is torture.

That's us for now. Hope all is well with each of you!

Your crafts turned out so well. I especially love your ghost.

Hope you stay as comfortable as possible your last month.

Must be nice to have Jon back home.

Kristin you are SO close and I can't wait for your baby to come because then it makes me feel like it won't be long until mine does!! Crossing my fingers that baby decides not to make you wait the whole 40 weeks, but maybe will come a bit early! You look great, hoping you feel good, too!!

LOVE your crafts...wish we lived closer and could get together and craft. Koen's going to be a great big brother, and I'm excited to see pictures of your new little one!
