Little Lion King

Happy Halloween!

T was dressed up as Lion King this year. He was suppose to be a monkey, but unfortunatley I packed his costume in a box that is somewhere in our garage that we can't get to right now. I was so bummed that I couldn't find it. I was able to find this adorable lion costume last minute which worked just that same.

At the Trunk-or-Treat with Grandpa. He really didn't get the concept of Trick-or-Treating. He only lasted about 4 cars and then got distracted.

T also went Trick-or-Treating with his cousin who is a year older and gets the concept much better. So cute!

Baby Girl Koons

We got to see our baby on Friday. We are happy to find out that we are having a girl! We were completely surprised. I think I was more prepared to find out it was a boy than a girl. But we couldn't be happier. We had a great ultrasound. A lot different experience than our ultrasound with T. I found a doctor at a Women and Family Health Clinic near our house, it was recommended to us. It is a 5 doctor practice, which was appealing to me because if I didn't like one doctor I could see another. Also we could find a doctor for the whole family. One stop shopping I guess...I like that. The ultrasound was so amazing. We had a very detailed ultrasound. They look at everything from the feet, heart, kidneys, spine, and brain. It lasted about 25 mins. The pictures were so clear. Completely different experience from last time that only lasted about 10 min and we couldn't ask any questions. We had to bring T so 25 mins for him was too long for him. But for me it was perfect. I got to ask questions and see all the different parts of our little girl. It has given me such reassurance that she is healthy and normal. All the worries that a mom has about her baby. I am now busy looking for a name and planning out all the things we need to get for her. I am so excited to shop in the girl section with all the pink dresses!

So long Cincinnati...

I didn't get a picture of the actually truck we drove, so this will have to do. Last week we arrived in Seattle after our long trek across the country in our 26' truck and car trailer. We left our home and friends in Cincy early Saturday morning. We drove through 11 states and 2500 miles in four days. It was just D and I, luckily Grandma was able to fly back with T. That would have made the trip even longer if we had him. We arrived late last Tuesday night. Four days with out T was long for me, the longest we have ever been apart. I think he was a little mad at me, because I didn't get much love from the guy for two days. He had fun at Grandma's house and they had fun hanging out with him. So we have been staying at D's parents house for the last week. Still waiting to get into our house. The renters will be out on Oct. 31st, we are excited to be able to move in the next week.
It is truly a blessing to be back in Washington. It couldn't be better timing with the holiday's around the corner and the new addition to our family in March. It will be great to be in our home and feel settled and have family around. But will miss Cincy. It was such a blessing to spend the last two years there. We started our family there and made some really great friends. We are so grateful for the time and memories we made there. And look forward to a visit sometime in the future.
