A couple of pics and a quick update...












1. Last weekend, we journeyed back to G-ville. Trip was great! We all had a ball, and it was awesome to see our friends, our old home, and Oak Hall.

2. Riley designed her own costume for Halloween this year: Butterfly Batgirl.

3. She's big into puzzles right now. She's mastered all of the ones we have at home!

4. She can pick up her baby brother. Funniest thing ever.

5. Adrian just had his fifteen month check-up. Boy, were his stats low: weight, 10th percentile (not even 22 lbs!); height 24th percentile (31.25 inches). But he looks healthy and eats well, so hopefully his growth spurt is coming.

6. He can sign "please" and "more." Love that he can communicate!

7. He got his top molars. He really wasn't miserable at all...just slept a lot.

8. I'm in the third trimester (already!). Apparently, though, I don't look all that pregnant...:) It is starting to get a bit harder to move, and I am starting to get a little nervous about having three children. More specifically, I'm nervous about how we are going to get out the door without Shawn's help (since he leaves for work at 6:15am). Nervousness aside, I am so excited to meet this little one. I love that we are being surprised again. I love feeling him or her move. I love thinking about getting out the little onesies and sleepers again. I love thinking about Riley and Adrian loving and caring for their new sibling. I love thinking about Shawn swaddling the new little one (Shawn loves to swaddle!).

At the same time, this time now is so sweet. The four of us have a blast together, whether at Moe's Monday or a grocery store or playing pretend or riding bikes. We are all adjusting to Athens, discovering new hobbies and places, establishing new habits, traditions, and interests. And it seems to have brought us all together. For that, I am endlessly thankful.
