Christmas pictures

Okay I am officially humbled. I had great ambitions to get the cutest picture done for my Christmas letter. As it turns out, it is more difficult than I thought to get two kids looking, not to mention smiling, at the camera. Kaylee was so interested in what Talon was doing that I couldn't get her to look straight into the camera. After about the 20th missed shot I said that she had better start looking at me in a stern voice. This of course broke her heart and she stormed to her bedroom crying. She has very tender feelings and it doesn't take much to upset her these days. After that it didn't seem like such a fun moment to capture. I guess we will try again later. Ugh!!

Compare and contrast

Can you tell these two are related? The number one question people ask me is if he looks like Kaylee. I am posing the question to you. What do you think?

Bed Rest

For all of you that don't know I have been sentenced to bed rest as of Monday, November 3rd. I am only allowed to go to the bathroom and take a shower. It wasn't bad the first few days because I wasn't feeling well but I am feeling better and want to be up and getting things done for the new baby. Jeff says I should be happy about spending everyday alone and in bed because I probably won't get this opportunity again for a long time. I do feel fortunate that this will only go on for a few weeks. I know some women have to be on bed rest for months which I can't imagine. I am doing my best to count my many blessings and appreciate all the wonderful family I have that are so willing to help out. My next doctor's appointment is on Thursday, November 13th and my doctor said he would schedule an inducement day then so watch for an update!
