Long time now see!

Hello everyone!  Sorry I haven't been keeping on top of things.  I'll try to update you on everything that's been going on.

We are 15 weeks pregnant today!  Sorry no picture of the bump yet.  We will find out December 28th what we are having (yes Mulherns we are finding out)!  The pregnancy has been great.  The first trimester was a little rough but nowhere near as difficult as it was with Ellie.  This makes me think we're having a boy but Kelly thinks its a girl.  Baby and I are happy and healthy and loving chocolate.  Ellie doesn't really know that we are having a baby but when asked if she wants to give the baby a kiss she'll kiss my belly.


Ellie has had a busy couple of months.  We went to Iowa and played with her cousins for a week.  She loved running around with everyone.  She even grew to love her coat and hat!


We went Trick O' Treating downtown Spirit Lake with Jenny, Rylee, Missy, Morgan, Ashley, and Scott.  We rant into Tahoe on the way!  She loved asking for candy and when the bowl was presented to her she never took just one...we had to teach her to only take one piece.  She didn't even get eat any of her own candy.  I took it with me to San Francisco and ate it all...mean mommy!


We went to Des Moines and had fun with Karter, Katelynn, Josh, Karma, and Jeff. They all went swimming at the hotel pool.  Ellie was blue and shivering but she refused to get out.  Man kids love the water.

Ellie has been talking up a storm and is speaking in full sentences.  She has a new love of trains and painting.

We took her to a pottery painting place last week and she loved it.  Now she wants to paint all the time.  Such a little artist!

Kelly has now officially become an online student (which is cheaper yay)!  Now he can register online and doesn't ever have to go to campus again.  This is great because he can finish his degree wherever we are.

Now we are preparing for Ellie's Second Birthday and then Christmas vacation!  We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with my brothers and their girlfriends (well except for Jesse) and my mom.  We hope you all had a wonderful day as well!

MISS YOU!
