Winter is here!

The past few weeks have been full of visitors. Blake's parents stayed with us for a week before they headed back out to California for the winter. Lucky them on missing this snow! It was great having them here for a while. Blake and I got very used to them making us dinner every night! When you're carrying their first grandbaby they take good care of you. Then they left and we had the house to ourselves for a couple days. It was crazy not having someone here. That week got me used to having another person here when I woke up and Blake was already at work. But then our good friend Kim saved the day by coming up from Spokane and seeing us! Poor girl realized that pregnant people are not nearly as much fun at times. I had some not so good days while she was here. So we did a lot of hanging out and just catching up. After just recently losing her Mom I think it was nice for her to just relax and talk. We went into Anchorage to see all our friends at Anchorage Fracture (where we used to work) and then had dinner with them all another night. For the most part we putzed around Palmer! Now Blake just took her to the airport and it is back to just me in the house. She is missed already and can't wait to see her when she comes back in January. Wish I could do the Polar bear plunge with her again this year. Don't think Reese would like that though!!!
Now that it is just me during the days again I guess this is when my crafty side really needs to come out and I have to get busy on making things. I started Reese's first scrapbook yesterday and should try and finish that. I am making little things on the sewing machine and trying to get better at that. Hopefully my friend Tara will be able to help me on this one and teach me her talents!
There is now snow on the ground. On Saturday I asked Blake to put up our Christmas lights so we would not have to do it once there was snow on the ground and really cold and windy. He did it and then it snowed the next day!!! Trust me the lights will not get turned on until after Thanksgiving, but at least they are up now!!!!
I am now 27 weeks along and feeling good. Blake got to feel her kick on Sunday for the first time. We were so darn excited!!!!!
Okay so that is all for now with the life of the Aro's!!!!
