Well, this past month has flown by…where does the time go?
We haven’t seen much of Rhett lately as he recently began working a 2nd job (part-time) at Sears in appliances again, selling stoves this time. We are preparing ourselves financially to be able to buy a bigger house next year and the extra income will help us to get on top of things and build up our savings again. With the new baby set to arrive in one month, we feel we will need more space SOON!!!
As for me, one month from today (January 2nd at 1:00pm to be exact) I am scheduled for my C-section. I can’t believe how quickly it has come and I can hardly wait these last few weeks! I started getting all of the baby clothing & bedding cleaned and prepared. Then I guess I’ll be getting my bag for the hospital packed. You can never be too prepared, right? My mom booked her flight and will be staying with us from December 30th (her birthday) until January 17th. We will be so lucky to have her with us for such a long time…her longest trip visiting us ever!
Austin has had an exciting month! First, he was chosen to represent his 3rd grade class in the school Spelling Bee to be held in January. He is a little nervous about it, but is an amazing speller and I’m sure he’ll do great! Also, he lost 2 teeth in the same day, his 7th & 8th teeth to fall out. See the picture below. I think these are the first ones he has pulled out on his own…but they were practically falling out of his head anyway. He had a little problem with the tooth fairy this time though…she forgot to come! (or so he thought). I checked later while he was outside playing & when Austin looked again he found $2 sitting under his pillow. He was flabbergasted because he said he had searched everywhere the time before. She’s so sneaky!!! Austin will be participating in his first piano recital next week. He’s very excited and doing a wonderful job with his piano lessons.
Logan & Carson haven’t had much going on. They are enjoying the days playing together or with our dog. They spend much of our beautiful fall weather playing outside in the backyard. They both look forward to being new big brothers soon, and love to give my belly hugs and kisses.
We spent Thanksgiving week up in Austin at Melissa & Rod’s house (Rhett’s sis). The kids played hard and Melissa & I had a blast just being together. We really didn’t do much except hang out, but it was nice nonetheless. We were able to go see “Twilight” for the 2nd time, thanks to Rod’s babysitting skills!!! Melissa was able to take some new family photos of us in the beautiful “hill country” near their home, so I hope you enjoy the new pics! We look forward to spending the Christmas holidays with them as well as Robert & Heather (Rhett’s bro). It’s nice to have some family close by, especially at this time of year.
That’s about all from us this month. We hope you all have a great holiday season and the next time I update this I’ll have little Jackson to introduce. Until then…
Love – Rhett, Maren, Austin, Logan & Carson
