Thankful

The last few months have been busy and full of changes, but we are so thankful.

Backing up to September....

Kyle celebrated his 27th birthday this year. 

The day after his birthday he came home to a pretty special present. 

He didn't think anything of it until he opened it and saw what was inside.

Needless to say, he was a little bit shocked.

It has been the hardest news to keep hidden. 

As soon as we got our first ultrasound at 7 weeks we just had to tell!

Our parents were all excited. 

Thankfully this has been a very smooth pregnancy. 

No morning sickness here. 

Other than being tired, which I also attribute to the 26 kindergarteners in my class, 

my symptoms have been mild. 

I feel very lucky.

We waited until October to tell Kyle's extended family and broke the news on Halloween. 

We gave everyone treat bags with the sonogram inside. 

Today we are breaking the news to my extended family and youngest brother. 

Then to everyone. Finally!

We can not be more excited and anxiously await the end of May and being able to hold this precious gift in our arms.

High Five for Friday Halloween Edition

I have to tell you, I absolutely love Halloween. 

I mean, as a kid, what's not to love? 

You get to dress up and get free candy, plus all those "Harvest Festivals" at church!

The older I got, the better it seemed to get. 

My super creative mom decided to start decorating a Halloween tree. 

It is one of my favorite traditions to this day and I love that she still does it even though all us kids are out of the house. 

In college, Halloween meant the Florida/Georgia Game. 

Not to mention that little engagement that happened Halloween weekend not too far back. 

 

1. Kyle and I were Superhero ready for Trunk of Treat this weekend!
It was a lot of fun, especially because we never get any trick-or-treaters at our place!

 

   

2. I learned how to arm knit this week and made this scarf. 

This will probably end up as a gift for lots of people this Christmas, sorry I'm not sorry.   

3. One of my wonderful parents designed this for our Halloween Party today!
It was probably the best cupcake cake I've seen!

As I passing out the cupcakes, one of my students asked, "Who made the cupcakes?"
Me: "Our room mom brought them."
Her response: "I know she brought them, but who actually made them?"

Oh five year olds!

 

   
4. Halloween Costumes!
The top group is the K team. Of course we would be the group that all dressed up!

 
5. Mission Planning
At the end of the day, one of the other teachers sent me this picture.
She had captioned it, "Superwoman and Batwoman planning their next mission."
