Our pretty, pretty girl...
This one actually has pupils in it's eyes if you look close enough!
This one is me she says. I'm not sure how I feel about that. 
And finally, because she's such a goofball, here's a great one of her idea of a "really good" outfit. Poor kid got my knock-knees though. She loves that rose, we won it at the carnival at a fair last summer, so it's really cheaply made. I don't think it was meant to be played with as much as it is, but she drags it around with her quite a bit. I just realized how old this pic is though. She's come a long way since November. For those that don't know, Josie is completely potty trained now!!! No more diapers, only big girl panties! We're really proud, but I think she's proudest of herself and her accomplishment!
Sorry this one's blurry, I'm thinking we need a new camera. This pic, and the other in the red shirt are from a month ago, so about 28 weeks.
Almost exactly a month later, the belly at 32 weeks. Not much bigger I notice now, but if you look low where my hands are you can see it. I feel huge. Baby is doing great, very active. More so than Josie was for sure. This one kicks like crazy, and certain activities will actually wake it up and set if off (namely getting up at night to use the restroom, I dread it because it takes forever to fall back to sleep with No 2 kicking like crazy). Currently I'm measuring a week to two weeks big, but since Josie was 8 lbs 6 oz they're predicting this is just a large baby. I'm up to Dr appointments ever two weeks, and my next is Wednesday the 17. Currently I'm 33 weeks along, so that means we only have 7 weeks to go! I can't believe it's getting so close. March 3 is definitely creeping up on me. Luckily it's scaring me enough to get my butt into gear and start getting things ready.
Sorry it's not the best, but it's not too bad ;)
This is our "sled" that Josie loves, I took a pool floatie and tied a rope around it to drage her around. That's us summiting a 4 foot drift in the middle of the lawn. 
This is my favorite picture of the snow, her cheeks matched her coat & pants, and she was just smiling away.
Here's Luke shovelling the front walk, somewhere under that drift by the wall of the house is our air conditioning unit, totally covered. 
The amount of snow around her playset tells you how high it was, I think we got about 20" but the wind blew so badly it all drifted. I couldn't get her inside, she wanted to stay out and play, too bad it was only about 15 degrees at the time.
It's good to be 2, you don't have to walk, you can see everything from Daddy's shoulders, and, in this instance, he sort of looks comfortable to sit on...
Papa Bob helped Josie climb to the top of a pretty tall haystack, she loved it up there and didn't want to come down.
I like this picture, you can't see too much but the sun gives it a nice element.
This is the Arkansas River that runs through the canyon on Highway 50 between Canon City and Salida. It's really beautiful and Luke and I's favorite part of the drive over. This is a pullover at an old railroad tressle that they've converted to be sort of a viewing point for the canyon/river.
they built on what I think was one side of the old tressle, the water below is awsome, some pretty hardcore rapids. Very neat to stand and look down. Also, my belly at 25 weeks :)
Luke and Josie throwing rocks, this picture came out a bit darker than I would have liked...
At long last, here are Halloween photos! And, for all of you that I never talk to, I'm sorry. I know I've been really really bad about calling people lately. As for No. 2, at the ultrasound it was basheful, so we'll be waiting to find out at the birth if we're having a boy or a girl! Here's some updated belly shots for my girls, and Josie the Bunny!.jpg)
I know my belly is still tiny, which is interesting, because this baby feels huge!.jpg)
Josie smoosing for the camera. She loved her bunny suit, and luckily it was warm because it was all of 24 degrees out while we trick-or-treated. She had a blast!.jpg)
The carrot was actually sown onto her hand, they were like little mittens. This was nice until about an hour in, then the carrot really started to tick her off. Imagine that, Josie, upset... ;).jpg)
Josie enjoying a chocolate cupcake. Of course we had to do cupcakes for Halloween, and Luke was there to help us decorate them. As a note to self, the black sugar looks good but will stain anything it touches!
For those of you who've asked, here's my belly. Not terribly big by any stretch (yet...) but my jeans are getting tight. I was 18 weeks on Saturday, Sept 30, so nearly halfway there!!!
This is Josie's very first morning of Sunday school, all ready to go! She started nursery class a little early because I'm teaching kindergarten and Luke was planting wheat so we talked with the church and she got to start early. She loves it! She was so proud of herself! But, of course, she wouldn't let me get a good picture!
