All grown up!

It has been awhile since I have posted on the blog. So sorry! Life has been busy! For those that don't know, I am expecting Getter Rugrat #2 due sometime around Dec. 1st. We are very excited but this baby hasn't been as nice to me as Anara was. A little bit of morning sickness and very tired. I am finally in my second trimester so things are getting better!

This morning we were getting ready for church and Anara decided she liked my shoes better than hers. It was just too cute, we had to get out the camera! She is growing up so fast and is such a big girl! She talks NON-STOP and is figuring out her way in the world. I love watching her even though she wears me out!

She is such a big girl!!! All grown up!

Please excuse the mess. Our weekend project was to try and
start cleaning out the new babies room and so we are getting
ready to put things on craigslist.

Ben was trying to get a serious picture.

Fun Time With Granddaddy!

My dad came up for a quick visit (I think it is just an excuse to spend time with Anara) and we got some great pictures of her and her granddaddy!

I have no idea why only half of her hair is done but I thought these pictures were so cute I just had to post.

Granddaddy is so funny!

Especially when he is tickling!

I thought this was just a perfect picture of my
stoic daughter. Very pensive, thumb in her mouth,
holding her blanket. Love those blue eyes!

Anara loves her bike from Uncle Mike and so she had to
show Granddaddy how she could ride her bike!

It was hard riding in her dress but that didn't stop her!

Beach Babe!

We went on a big family trip to the Cayman Islands with Ben, Anara, and me, as well as my mom and dad and my sister and her fiance Will. We had a GREAT time! My parents have a time share there and so we had a huge two bedroom place with a loft room upstairs, a living room and a kitchen. Not to mention a fabulous view of the ocean!!!!

Anara having fun at one of the beaches we went to and
snorkled. Anara obviously couldn't snorkle so she had
a good time hanging out on the beach.

This is Connie and Will

Ben being a good daddy and taking care of Anara's
friends while she put on sunscreen.

Anara having fun on the elevator. Normally as a family we try to take
the stairs for exercise but it would take Anara 10 years to go up or
down because she was too busy talking and wouldn't move very fast
so we gave up and just took the elevator most of the time.

Anara building sand castles on the beach. She even built the Great Wall of China!

This is a picture of our resort behind Anara while she is on the beach.
