Micah Update!!

After my appointment last week my doctor has decided that we will be induced on the 10th of November. I have been having some pretty icky back problems for the past 5 weeks and my tummy is measuring quite big so he believes it to be in the best interest of both of us. So, stay tuned :) Next week we hope to announce Micah's arrival to the world!

The "Flood" of '09

This last Saturday we got quite the down pour of rain, apparently the storm drains could not handle all the extra water. This is what I saw when looking out the window... Our garbage can actually floated down the street. Awesome.
That is my garbage can, all the way down by the green car.

"It's MY Molly"

Julia and Molly have become good friends since the older kids are now in school... Here is a photo of them watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse"

I awake!! I coming!

Well, Its official :) Julia is now in a "big girl bed" Thanks to Grandma Elise we now have a twin size bed just for little Julia. She loves it! She is excited to get to bed each night and in the morning I hear the pitter patter of little feet and the sweetest little voice in the world calling out " I awake!! I coming mama!!" She loves her new found freedom! I guess I have to face the fact that my "baby" is now a little girl and very soon we will have a new little boy to fill that "baby" place. I can't believe it is almost here!! 39 days to go to the due date! While I am super ready for this little guy to be out, I kinda wanna hold on to the last little bit of my last pregnancy :) I will say that it has been super fun to watch Julia turn into a little person. I love watching her personality unfold. Now if she would only potty train.....

Punkin' Patch

Today turned out to be quite a nice day, so we took advantage of Aunt Andrea being up for a visit and went to our favorite pumpkin patch! The kids had a wonderful time and the weather, although a little nippy, was clear and dry. I am so happy that we have such a neat pumpkin patch so close to home!

Here are some photos of our fun!

All ready to go "pumpkin hunting"
Julia wanted to ride the "cows" so we did :)

Stiffler Family Pumpkin rule : If you can't carry it, pick a new one :)
