Saturday we all went to a pumpkin patch and had so much fun. Noelle loved petting the animals. There was a little pygmy goat for sale, we tried very hard to convince Grandpa to buy it, but for some odd reason he was opposed to that idea! Although he was willing to buy it for us, as long as it went home with us...yeah, Zeus and a pygmy goat in a very small SUV for five hours, that sounds like a blast! We grabbed a little yellow wagon, put Noelle in it, and headed out to the pumpkin patch. The wagon ride had to be the best part because Uncle took her "super fast"! She loved picking out a little pumpkin of her own and carrying it back to the wagon,. When it was time to leave, a little girl dressed in pink, did not like that idea! Here are some pictures to enjoy (you can double click on the images to see them bigger):
From all the fun as soon as we got home Noelle went down for a nap! I decided to start to get ready for my dinner date with Tom. My parents so wonderfully offered to watch Noelle for us. My birthday is coming up in a few weeks and we decided to take this opportunity to go out to dinner and hit the mall. I have been craving the Olive Garden lately so that is where we went. It was so good, and I know it's not that special of a restaurant, but it's what the pregnant women wanted!! After a fabulous dinner we went to the mall. Of course, being parents we ended up getting ourselves nothing and bought some things for Noelle and Max (what do you guys think of the name? I'm trying it on for size and would love opinions!).
While we were out Grandma, Grandpa, and Uncle Alex decided to carve Noelle's little pumpkin with her. Apparently, she was too delicate and girly and she did not want to touch the guts with her hands!! She did like touching them with a spoon and from what I was told thoroughly enjoyed herself! Here are a few more pictures of Noelle's first ever pumpkin carving experience:
Sunday we left around 2pm and made it home around 7pm. It was an easier ride because Uncle lent us his DVD player and Noelle was able to watch her favorite shows. I on the other always have a very hard time leaving my family. I hate living so far away. Five hours is a very doable drive, but I can't help and imagine how wonderful it would be to live closer. To call and pop in whenever I needed a "Mom hug". Noelle loves to give me hugs, and sometimes I want one from my Mom! Just to have them close by so they would be able to spend more time watching Noelle grow and change. With the new baby coming I don't want them to miss anything. It is always so wonderful to visit, but harder to leave.
In baby world, Max (again, let me know what you think of the name) is now right around 14 inches and about 2 pounds. He is a very active and I am really enjoying feeling his kicks during the day, and night. I am feeling very good, although the nausea seems to have returned, but I can deal with it. I do enjoy being pregnant, it is a blessing.

I love the name Max. It is making a bit of a come back, but still not overused. I say go for it! We hope to see you all soon.
