Coming Soon . . .

Knock-knock jokes and Thanksgiving photos and funnies. But in the meantime, here I am at almost 38 weeks.

This Little Girl Won't Be Prissy . . .

With two older brothers, I think that prissiness will be an impossibility. The boys like to go into "Baby Sister's" nursery to check out all the tiny new clothes and other things that have begun to fill the drawers and closet. Their description of some of these items, however, cracks me up.

My favorite from Gordon: I have a little box that I've filled with tiny hair bows. The hair bows have little clips that open when you squeeze them so that you can attach them to baby's hair easily. Gordon likes to check out this box of bows, but refers to them as Baby Sister's "clampers" due to the little clips that "clamp" into baby's hair.

And a funny one from Cameron: I received a darling sleeper that snaps down the back and has a little flap that snaps horizontally just above the backside. Cameron loves that sleeper because, as he says, "We can just undo this little flap and she can poop out the back like a concrete mixer."

Yep, she should be all set with her clampers and her concrete mixer p.j.'s!

Family Photo Preview

Two weeks ago Cody's sisters and aunts hosted a wonderful baby shower for me. I'll post more photos soon, but in the meantime, here's a sneak preview of some family photos we had taken by long-time Lee family friend Amy (Noon) Free, who was in town with her mom for the shower.

More Cute Sleepy Photos

I love that Cameron and Gordon often climb into bed together in the morning. It's fun to listen to their conversations, like Cameron teaching Gordon to count to 100 or trying to read to him. Here are a couple pics from one morning earlier this month. Gordon was apparently more "up and at 'em" than Cameron, and hence doing some "little brother pestering."





And I couldn't resist adding another photo of Gordon napping in my bed. I love to come in and see the funny sleeping arrangements he creates . . . Here is in buried in pillows.

34 Weeks Down, 6 To Go

And for my belly watching contingent . . . it keeps growing.

Halloween

Well, in contrast to the last two years when I spent hours coming up with (and sewing!) clever family costumes, this 6-weeks-away-from-delivering-a-new-baby mom had no mental (or physical!) energy to do anything creative for Halloween this year. Instead, the Halloween mantra was: "Whatever costumes we have on hand, those are your choices, boys." (Our neighbors who have hosted a big costume party the last two years did not do so this year, eliminating the need to outfit myself and Cody. Whew!)

Anyhow, Cameron was going to be a pirate on the front the Batman on the back. I am not exactly sure how this was going to work, but I never found out because he changed his mind and decided to be Luke Skywalker. He wore his karate gee with a belt from another costume and carried his blue light sabor. Pretty clever, I thought! Although he was in desperate need of a haircut, he wouldn't allow me to cut his hair until after Halloween because, apparently, Luke Skywalker's hair is shaggy too. Gordon chose the lion costume that Cameron wore two years ago.

I've also included a few photos from the kindergarten "Fall Carnival" held on Halloween at Cameron's school. Gordon and I stopped by, and Gordon got in on the face painting. HIlarious!















And back when I had some creative juices . . . . Two years ago, the Lee Family headed off to Oz, and last year Neverland.
