Halloween at the zoo

We took Emma to the zoo for a Halloween day. She dressed as a giraffe and had tons of fun running around like a maniac!

The little baby piglets loved Emma and kept following her. They were afriad of everyone but her. She actually got to pet them when they came up to her.

The "scary" turkey that made funny noises.

Well, I thought a blog would be a good way for family and friends to keep updated on my pregnancy and see recent pictures of Emma. Im now 25 weeks along and we found out we are having a baby boy this time! My due date is February 12th and at my ultra sound he was looking perfect and was right on with my due date..... who would have thought I could actually do something perfect :) We are getting really excited for his arrival!
Joel is still in school until June when he will be done. He is still working for Buckman part time and is enjoying it. He has been driving up to Aberdeen a couple days these past few weeks, to Gray's Harbor Paper.
Emma is full of energy and she keeps me hopping! We went to the pumpkin patch/petting zoo and the Portland zoo this month. She had a blast and definately took up her mom's love for animals! I think she is going to do terrific with a baby brother. She loves babies! I have been watching 2 baby boys so there is almost always a baby around here and she wants to help with everything! Babysitting is what I have been up to. I have been watching Tara's baby, Jaron, about 5 days a week and my cousin Jessica's baby, Gavin, a few days a week.
I hope everyone is doing well, take care!
