happy fall!

cant believe it's october already!! we rang in the start of fall by apple picking with the pooches :) the first place we tried (where we've gone for the past few years) wouldn't let us bring the dogs out of the car, so we got a quick back of macoun apples and took off. we found another small, local orchard that was more than happy to let us roam with marley and king. (they had a blast by the way and then passed out when we got home.) we've got an assortment of apples on our counter that i'll be making into an apple pie. and i'm determined this year to actually eat the pie and like it. we'll see....



today i've been getting things ready and arranged like crazy. i went down to my sister suzanne's yesterday to see the little man, henry (i cant believe i didnt get any pictures...) and take load after load of baby things off her hands! (thank you thank you thank you!!!!) in the first picture above, after i sorted through tons of clothes to be washed, cleo made a little nest for herself and made much more of a mess than i did. then i went into the kitchen to finish our own laundry and found little roo in curled up in the clean clothes. good thing the dogs have been outside for most of the day, who knows where they would have decided to snuggle down...

i'm taking a break right now from doing some stuff in the baby's room...when i recharge and finish up there, i'll take pictures and show what's been done. since the room is unheated, it's doubtful that we'll use it much until the spring, but it's nice to have a place called 'the baby's room' anyway :)

i'd take another picture of my belly, but enough people have told me i'm huge and that's not going to change anytime too soon, so i'll hold off ;) maybe when the pig drops and lets me breathe easier i'll be excited to show off the progress....

that's all for now. hopefully at my dr's appt tomorrow they'll tell me everything is still progressing well and reassure me that all the physical stuff i'm feeling is normal :) til next time...
