Cambry has begun gymnastics and is LOVING it. She is still as independent as ever and would rather "master" skills on her own, but so far is not afraid to try any of it. Hope she loves it as much as I did (actually still do).
She is officially sleeping in her "big girl" bed and doing GREAT. It was out with the crib one day and into her big bed that night. She asked about her crib only a few times and has been so proud to sleep in her new one.

We have been in full swing with Colten's school and activities. He is doing superb in Kinder and we recently had a great conference with his teacher. She is a jewel! A few things to note on our Kindergarten experience thus far...
- rhyming is so fun!!! At least every other word is followed by a rhyme...
- you CAN play too rough during Duck, Duck, Goose (all in fun of course)
- girls DO NOT like their food taken during lunch, but other boys think it's hilarious!!!
- it is extremely fun to count to 100, no matter how many times it's done
- the list can go on and on...
He had a wonderful fall festival at school a few weeks ago and the PTA raised lots of money for new fun and exciting things to come to his school. There was a parade, bounce houses, games, silent auction, skits, bike demonstrations, firetruck tours, train rides, dances and lots of great food.
We also had a "family night" at the local pumpkin patch with Colten's Kinder class. We met at the patch, let the kids pick out pumpkins, read stories and played some games. We then all headed to get pizza together. It was really fun to see the kids interact outside of class and get to know some of the families more. It's a great group!!!

And...after all those fun festivities it was time for HALLOWEEN. Saturday we made a quick afternoon trip to Sea World (missed you Whitesides). We really wanted to see the Sesame Street Halloween show so Cambry could see Elmo and Abby. It was precious, so worth the warm day and many steps taken. She loved it!!!
Wish I could have captured her face, it was priceless, but couldn't get a good one to come out!!! Sunday the kids and Caleb (mostly Caleb) carved our Jack-O-Lantern and we got ready to cruise the streets. Doc came early to help pass out candy while we went out. Like each year, there was a mass of kiddos. The costumes were GREAT and excitement was everywhere, our kids were pumped about it ALL...

and we're off...
Cambry walked about ten houses and then Daddy was her mode of transportation around the rest of the block.
back home to finish handing out our candy...whew, what fun!!!
And...another pregnancy update. Everything's going great. I am at 27 weeks now and feeling HUGE. Our baby girl is doing wonderfully and is right where she needs to be. I'm exhausted, sore, hungry, etc most of the time BUT the weeks are flying by and I know they will even more so with the holidays. No name yet, the debate is still in progress, so stayed tuned!!!
