Peanut Poll

As you can see, we've added a new poll on the right of the blog.  We welcome all to place your vote on whether or not Peanut will be a boy or a girl.  On November 9, the ultrasound should reveal the real answer.

Autumn in New England

As you might expect, Maine is absolutely beautiful right now--the air is crisp and the leaves are changing. We are really enjoying our first autumn in Maine.

Last weekend, we took Livie to the county fair. She got such a kick out of feeding the sheep!


She loved seeing all the different animals so close...

Despite this ox weighing 3900+ lbs more than Livie, she wasn't intimidated at all. She insisted on petting it even while it tried to swat her with its tail!

This weekend, we took Livie to pick out pumpkins. Some of the pumpkins were bigger than she is!

She had so many pumpkins to choose from...

She found one that was just her size!

We found several great pumpkins: one for Dada, one for Mama, one for Livie and one for Peanut!

Once we got home, Livie didn't want to let the pumpkins out of her sight...even while she ate lunch!

Although our corn didn't provide many ears for eating, at least it was good for something! As you can see, Livie found a new little seat that is just her size.

Oh, and by the way, Livie is still finding new ways every day to torment Bailey, or as Livie calls her, "Bay"! Livie now thinks that "Bay's" crate is her garage.

Our Little Peanut!

We are excited to announce that Abby passed "the test" with flying colors--two pink stripes! Abby is pregnant and expecting our second little one: Peanut!

Livie was the one to break the news to many of our family members while in Puerto Rico last month. Abby quietly put on Livie's new bib and waited for someone to notice. Since they were sitting right by Livie, Hammy Shan and Ashley picked up on it right away.

We are excited to have our own little Mainer! Peanut is scheduled to join our family on April 3rd. So far, all of the tests and ultrasounds have gone great. We feel very blessed to be able to have another child and a little friend for Livie!
