Today Sydney and Jackson got a letter in the mail from Grandma Gifford. It was a puzzle with a message on the back. They had lots of fun putting it together to find out what it said. Thanks Mom, they loved it!
Last night Jackson found a half used roll of crate paper. I saw him pull it out of the closet and thought about taking it away...but thought what the heck. Needless to say it entertained us all for a few minutes.
Sydney got this t-shirt kit for her birthday back in January. It's been in her closet this whole time and every couple of weeks she would ask if we could make it...and I finally said yes. It came with crayons that you color the shirt and then you iron it and it makes the color stay. She was so excited to wake up this morning and wear her new shirt.
So, things are going good here. The kids are loving preschool and we have Jackson's birthday party planned for this coming Monday. He's having a pirate themed party, so be watching for pictures of that. I'm coming up on 32 weeks along and am still feeling really good. I've been having some braxton hicks contractions over the last couple of days. I don't recall having many with Sydney or Jackson...especially not this early...maybe it's just because it's my third baby?
McKay is moving right along in school. He has a lot on his plate this semester but seems to be handling it all pretty well. He's working hard now preparing for when the baby comes just a couple weeks before finals. It's going to be a hectic November for sure.
Fall is on it's way. We're enjoying cool evenings and mornings. The temperature is staying in the 70's during the day and I can't wait for the leaves to start changing in the next couple of weeks.
I think that's all the news for now. Life is good. :-)

I wish we lived a little closer so we could offer to help out when the baby comes, but alas, 17 hours is a bit far with a newborn.
Your kids are awesome! I hope the last 2 months of pregnancy go well and Sydney and Jackson let you get some rest when you need it!
when did you guys get new couches? i totally expected to see a red couch in those pics!
That's funny you ask, Angie...my mom just emailed me the same question. :-) We sold our black trailer back in April and with the money we splurged on some couches for our living room. Now we can all sit and watch a movie at the same time! Pretty spoiled huh?
