Leaves and Pumpkins!

Last weekend we took advantage of the beautiful weather and spent our days playing outside in the leaves and going to the pumpkin patch!

Addie could not wait to jump into the leaf pile! She liked getting buried, making it rain leaves, and walking through the pile in all directions to spread it all back out.









We made our annual trip out to Pine Tree to get apples and pumpkins. We had fun running through the corn maze and picking out the perfect pumpkins. And as always, we ended our trip with some apple cider and apple doughnuts - yum!

I wasn't sure if I was going to write about this, but have always felt that this blog serves as a type of journal for us, so in that case, I guess I can't leave it out...

A few weeks ago Addie fell down our entire flight of stairs from the 2nd floor to the 1st floor. She was pretty shaken up, but overall fairly calm. We decided to bring her in anyway just to get her checked out. Addie was complaining of shoulder pain, so they did an x-ray where they found that she had actually broken her collar bone. According to our doctor, this is a common injury (it even happened to her daughter) and a lucky one. Addie was given a sling that she wore for a week and has felt good ever since. The only residual pain comes whenever she gets ready to go down the stairs. She is still really scared and stops dead in her tracks at the top step and insists on one of us carrying her. This was definitely a scary thing for all of us, but it was also so amazing to see how brave and strong a 2 1/2 year old can be!

Uncle Ben and Auntie Na's Wedding

This weekend Brian's brother, Ben, got married. It was a busy but fun weekend with the Groom's dinner on Friday and the wedding festivities on Saturday. Addie was a GREAT flower girl! She smiled in all the pictures, made it all the way down the aisle (with only a short detour!), and danced until 10! The wedding was beautiful and held a lot of traditions and incorporated the values of family. It was a wonderful day that we will always remember.

Introducing Corbettkid #2!

That's right, we are changing from a family of 3 to a family of 4! Our due date is April 13th, 2011. So far this pregnancy has been very similar to my pregnancy with Addie. I was nauseous from weeks 5-8, and have otherwise been feeling pretty good outside of the normal pregnancy exhaustion. I can already tell that my energy is coming back now that I am entering trimester 2!

Addie is very excited to be a big sister, and I know she will be the best! She is already convinced that she is going to have a baby sister and is already talking about how the baby will sleep in her crib and how she will move into her new room upstairs... hopefully it will be done in time!
