Let's see...this time next week I will be relaxing some in between last minute preparations. It is a weird feeling knowing that next Monday (Nov 2nd) I will be going to the hospital to have my little baby boy! I can't wait! Part of me would love to go into labor early and have him sooner...I am a bit uncomfortable and getting anxious to finally meet him. The other part of me likes the fact that it's scheduled and all planned out...my parents are set to be here to help with the kids, I already made lists and notes to make things run smoother for my parents and Craig once we get home from the hospital.
BUT, God has His own timeline for things and I am ready for whatever He has for us. We will see what this week and the weeks to come bring for our family. It will be a busy end of the year for sure. Craig is planning to take off the first 3 weeks of November to help me out with the kids and be here with the baby. Drew & Autumn have their 6th birthday on the 16th. His parents are flying in the 18th to 23rd to meet their new grandson. Then there is Thanksgiving weekend and the Ring family November birthday party! My grandma Donor will be here that busy weekend. Then we are into December with Christmas Concerts at school, Autumn's cheer-leading competition, Ryan coming for a visit the 19th until Christmas, and all the Christmas celebrations......what a great way to end the year...surrounded by family!

Only 3 more weeks...
Wow! Time is flying by and I only have 3 more weeks until I get to hold and kiss my baby boy! November 2nd seemed so far away and now it's so close! I can hardly wait!
Craig and I have been working on the room little by little. Last weekend my mom and I went to Micheal's for a few things and she helped me put some decorations together and then Craig helped hang them on the walls...I love the room! I walk back there throughout the day and sit in the rocking chair and look around. It's so fun and exciting! Craig's parents went onto our registry and bought some stuff for the baby...I have been dreaming about the boxes arriving and I am hoping they come by Monday!
A few weeks ago our church was hosting a Marrieds Getaway to Mackinac Island from Friday to Sunday! Craig and I thought it would be fun since he has never been there and I have never stayed there...with our 2nd Anniversary coming the end of October, we thought we would celebrate early and take the trip... my parents watched the kids and we had a great time. With only horse & buggy, biking or walking on the island...we didn't have too many options. I got a lot of walking in that weekend, but it was relaxing and fun and well worth it! It was the last trip before baby!
One of the pictures came out really blurry...but I still love it!
Other updates...
The boys are both in soccer. Drew's team: The Rockets is coached by Papa (my dad) and cousin Hannah is on the team! It's so fun to watch them play. They are a great team! Drew has scored each game so far and is really into it. Alex's team: The Wizards is doing great too! He is a dominant force on that field and plays most of the game. This season for Alex, they have a goalie which makes it a little harder to score, but he still gets a couple goals each game!
Autumn decided to try cheer leading! She had her first practice last Monday and loved it! It's through Young Champions! We are going to order her pom poms and uniform this next week!
Everyone is doing great in school and still loves to be there! Drew & Autumn wish they could go everyday instead of just 2 1/2! Oh well! They are making friends and really growing up! Autumn has lost 3 teeth since starting school. Drew hasn't lost any, but really wants to! The kids are LOVING the new Wednesday night program at church...Kids Quest! I love how much they are learning and are so excited about it! They take pride in knowing their Bible Verses each week!
We took some time this afternoon to go over to Three Cedars Farm and enjoy the fall season as a family! The kids jumped and played all around then we all got Cider & Donuts! Yummy! Now I feel like the fall season is complete...
Guess that's it around here...we are busy with a full schedule right now, but things will definitely slow down next month when the baby comes!
