Pumpkin Patch!

On a beautiful saturday in October we took Lily on a suprise visit to the Pumpkin Patch! It is one of our family traditions to go and get a pumpkin for every one in the family. I LOVE our Pumpkin Patch! There is so much to do there. They have a hay ride, face painting, a little train for the kids, snacks, and the most important part... pumpkins!

Lily is getting to be such a big girl, she was able to pick up her pumpkins by herself this year and help Nick pull the wagon around. I really do remember her first trip to the pumpkin patch at 4 months old. I can't believe how big she

is and that next year we will be picking out 4

pumpkins instead of 3!

Baby Number 2!

We are so excited about the new Newell family member! It took us about 9 months of trying and I was beginning to think that it may never happen. We found out on September 14th. I had taken a test a few days before and gotten a negative result. I was really dissapointed and sad. But a couple days later I took another test just to be sure and there they were... two pink lines! I couldn't believe it and actually went out and bought 2 more tests and took those too! All of the tests had the same positive result! So the new baby is going to be due May 21, 2010. We are really hoping for a little boy this time because this will probably be our last baby, but the thought of Lily being a sister is very special too. We are really just hoping for a safe pregnancy and can't wait to meet our new baby!
