Piper Mackenzie Rouse is FINALLY here!! I was induced today and she arrived at 1:48 pm. She is 8lbs. and 14oz. ! The labor was quick & painless..... thanks to my epidural :) I pushed for 4 minutes and out she came!!! I will post the whole story later but for now here are some pics. Piper and I are both doing great!

Fall totschool

We went on a walk through the neighborhood to get leaves and flowers for a totschool project. I love this pic so much..... can't you tell how much she loves him.... and the camera :)

Picking flowers takes lots of concentration!


Madison joined the fun a little later.... pretty good pic of 3 toddlers!

Here is Izzy's project- we stuck our treasures on contact paper- she seemed to really like it!

One of Izzy's favorite things to do at home is "bugs"- it is a discovery toy that works on matching colors and types of bugs....

Gotta love the hat!

We made puppets- well I pretty much made the puppet and Izzy tried to kill it.

More Halloween Fun....

Although as my buddy Katie says I am 19 months pregnant... we have still been out and about :) When you have an active toddler- sitting around just doesn't cut it. AND I would go crazy too! So yes I am still pregnant... no progress- but we have been having lots of fun!
A friend organized a fun day at the park with costumes, crafts and cookies..... the cookie got frosted and then got eaten..... Mommy trait! Izzy wore her other costume- a pumpkin!

There were bubbles which Izzy loves to chase.

Group shot... hey what can you expect??

For Halloween I was a "bun in the oven" and Tim was the Baker :) hehehehe I think he did a great job making our outfits!

We had a cookout in our new neighborhood and it was a great way to meet alot of the neighbors! Not to mention good food :) We took Izzy trick or treating and she had a blast. She loved to eat smarties (which is good because I hate them) and suckers. I tried to divert most of the chocolate :) It was a blast and Izzy was worn out for 2 days.
Hopefully the next post you see will be Piper's birth announcement!!!
