It's About Time

We probably should announce or keep record that we are having another baby! I am just not an announcer-type person so I didn't really think about jotting my thoughts down or even writing about this but I guess I will want this for later.

Miss Norah ....... Goulding, no middle name yet, will be coming around the end of January or the first week of February. My actual due date is Feb. 8th but in my ultrasound she was sizing a few days bigger than that...so I like to go off of that. Plus I am hoping to get induced a week early again which puts us at the end of January! Kind of scary to think about having another baby to take care of but so exciting that we are able to do so!
Her wardrobe has been started by Auntie Angie and from what Bill's reactions are to the credit card bill, I think Norah will be set:) Jordan has put the hammer down on me buying anything. I actually have done really well sticking to that. I have only spent 26 dollars thus far. If you know me, that is a huge accomplishment and Jordan really should be very grateful and very proud!
Vance is aware that mommy has a baby in her tummy but I don't think he really gets it because um he's only 2 but he always includes her in his love you chant at the end of the night... "love you daddy, love you mommy, love you nona!"
This will be an adventure and we are excited! I'll keep this updated. I don't have really any pictures quite yet of me and I don't know that I will but we will see.

Canning fruit...Check!

I felt it was time that I do something very domestic since I am a stay -at- home mom. So I chose to learn how to can food! I have never done this before but with help from my neighbors, who are master canners, we canned apples! So fun and kind of therapeutic... sounds weird and that may just be because I haven't gotten away in a while for a massage/ pedi but this is a way cheaper therapeutic experience to get that fill:) Jordan's happy I'm sure. Anyway, this 5lbs bucket of little apples filled 14 jars:) Here is the proof:



Don't judge if they don't look right, just be proud I am actually doing something that is beneficial and healthy!

Fall Festivities

This year Vance is big enough to enjoy going to the pumpkin patch and so we made it a day affair and went with a few of our friends. It was fun and the kids loved it! Here's a few pictures...





Vance was so excited that Jordan was there to play with him. He wanted Jordan and that was fine by me:) He is so heavy now days that it kills me to carry him so I really don't mind when he wants to be a daddy's boy!

Fun way to start the fall season!
