I am so excited for Thanksgiving! My mom and all the siblings as well as Rob's sister, will be joining us and I am so looking forward to having everyone here. I think Maggie is going to have a blast with Caddie around too! I went to the Commissary today and was so tempted to get everything for next week. I am slowly getting the non-perishables and picked out Mr Turkey today. Watch out for me next week though-cart will be full!

Maggie and I went down to Williamsburg on Monday to hang out with the Griders. We had a great time and as usual Maggie loved seeing Jack and Hank. I was unhappy that the Puma outlet had NOTHING in her size but I did get some great stuff over the weekend at the outlets with Beth and a head start on the Christmas shopping.

I had my 16 week checkup this morning and so far everything is looking good. Baby 2's heart rate was 140 and I am sticking to my guns and proclaiming this one to be a boy! Rob thinks I am crazy but there is something to be said for Mother's intuition. The Doc also gave me the go ahead to participate in the BN Thanksgiving Party Spouse Flights. I get to fly in a helicopter around DC-YAY!!

Back upstairs to make cranberry sauce and punch for our playgroup lunch tomorrow!!

Just a little something

I realize I have been really bad at putting up recent pictures and stories but am trying to make this week an exception. I am hoping to add a new photo of Maggie everyday! We will be sticking around home this week as our friends in Williamsburg are under the weather but hopefully will have a visit from Aunt Erin! Maybe some shopping is in order?? We are also really looking forward to Halloween on Saturday and doing some trick-or-treating with our little crab!

In other news we waited for 3+ hours on Saturday to get our flu and H1N1 shots at the Ft Belvoir field house. It was a super long day but at least we are done with it! Maggie did surprisingly well for being stuck in line during lunch/naptime. We all needed a little snooze when we got home :)

Also, a belated congratulations to Schneiders and Pritchards on the arrival of their little girls. We look forward to meeting Olivia and Lucy sometime soon!!

Have a GREAT week!
