Halloween!!

Our first Halloween in Germany!!! We had a good day!! Noah and Victoria didn't have school today, but they had to sit with me at the DR's instead!! Noelle is measuring 3 weeks ahead almost, so the DR's were afraid of diabetes of course because she is so big. Well they took my blood on Wednesday and I was only one point over, but they decided to do the 3 hour test. Luckily that came back normal, I love my ice cream and can't give it up yet..... So Victoria and Noah came with me and sat at the DR's for 3 hours untill I was done!! I haven't been feeling well due to getting the same cold as Noah, David and Victoria so we just laid around the house untill it was time to go trick or treating!

Yesterday we carved our pumpkins!! David wasn't home for that since he was working but Noah and Victoria carved. Noah did not want to stick his hand in, he was being such a girl about it!!! So he gave up after the first 3 pics..... Victoria said she has never carved a pumpkin before but I know she has.... She just has a hard time following directions!!!!!!! She messed up twice and then ended up caving her own face. You decide which ones hers...LOL!!!

We went trick or treating with some friends in their area, because it is a military housing area. Noah had a great time with his friend Louis!!! Louis was a Ninja and Noah was black suit spiderman, but he had to wear red suit under it.... We only walked for about an hour but he got pretty much a whole bag full!!! There were so many people trick or treating it was crazy!!!! But we had a good time!!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!!!!!!!!

Homecoming!

Victoria had homecoming this week. I didn't get a pic of her everyday, but I did on one day it was Wacky tacky, she looked pretty funny!!! The rest of the days were blast from the past, she went to the 80's...lol They had colors and for freshmen they were orange. We painted a shirt orange and she had orange ribbon. And the last day was school spirit. Friday night she had a bonfire at the school that she went to!! She had fun at that she said!! And Saturday was homecoming. Her friends came over and they all went together and then they stayed the night. Victoria looked very nice!! Here are a few pics!! I made her eat before the dance, I had to put this pic in!! She wont be wearing short dresses anymore untill she learns how to sit in them!!!!! These are her friends here. One mom said no at first because Victoria lives with her sister. But then I guess because one friend came the other could, the moms know eachother. It was interesting!!!
Victoria also auditioned and made a play that they are having here, she is not a big part, just a citizen, but she is excited!! It is Horton hears a Who from Dr. Suess. That will happen in December. As long as she can balance school and activities she can stay in the play!!

On another note we took some pics of them sleeping because that is mine and Davids favorite part of the day...HAHA!!


Noah is obviously related to Kellie, look at all the drool.....HAHA

Thats about it! Noah was sick this weekend and he is loosing his voice. Hopefully he will be better by Monday, he has school and LOVES it!!!

Physical?!?

Well Noah needed a physical, because he wants to play basketball in January. Signups start now. We aren't able to see a DR on post, so we have to go off post. The on post clinic will give you a list of DR's to look through. I called one in the same area as the hospital I will give birth in, figuring since the on post is recommending them to Americans, they must speak English.....right?!?

HAHA I was wrong. All we needed was a health assesment for them to tell us if Noah is good to play sports..... Heres part of what he had to go through..... All of this for a 4 year old to play basketball?!?

LESSON LEARNED

Never take your child to a non english speaking DR's and assume they will get a physical. The funniest part, she pulled down Noahs underwear to check the boys out...HAHA his face went white and he looked at David and I like what is this lady doing????

We then took Victoria shopping for a homecoming dress!! We were hoping to find something, Luckily we did and for a GREAT price!! Here she is

She looks great in it!! She isn't going with a boy, just a group of friends, but I am sure she will have a blast!!!! Pictures will be taken again that night!!!

Victoria, Noah, and David

Well Victoria was able to wear her class B's for the first time. I thought she looked like a cute little nerd!!! It was so funny!!! The pants were giving her a MAJOR wedgie, I took a pic but she wont let me post it..... She was actually really excited to wear them. like I said ROTC is one of her favorite classes!! Here are some pics I took of her that morning!

(it is OK to laugh I did!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

We are extremely proud of her and what she is doing!! We have our moments, and sometimes I am sure she feels as if we don't care, but we do!! Homecoming week is coming up so I will take pics of how she dresses for spirit week!!

I took pictures of Victoria and of course Noah had to get in!! Here he is in his halloween costume that Oma sent him. (Black Suit Spiderman!!)

Him and David were having a great time posing and playing together!!

October!!

Time is flying by!! I can't believe October is here. Our little girl will be here before we know it!
The weather here is perfect!! it feels a lot like Washington, which we are used to!! The leaves are changing and it is getting colder. I love the fall!!

Noah has started school which is great! He was getting so bored with just me at home. He is now making friends, but his frist question is, "do you like superheroes?" He loves all superheroes. Right now Spiderman is his favorite, which it has been for a while. At least now he is including others!!

He loves to play with his friends, (superheroes of course). He has turned into such a wonderful little boy!! We have our moments but really he is great!! We got a compliment on how wonderful he is from his preschool teacher. Always using please and thank you. Always asking before he does something, makes us feel like we are doing an OK job!!

Here he is at Mega Play,with Louis, it is one of THE ONLY places open on Sunday!! He loves it there!!

He can't wait for the arrival of his baby sister!! He tells us everday that he loves her!! He tells me that I don't have to do anything to take care of her, I just have to put the milk in the bottle. Him and Daddy will do the rest!! Noah will change the pee pee diapers, and Daddy the poopy diapers!! We are all excited to see the way he reacts to her!!!

Here we are together. I am almost 30 weeks. Things are going better in this pregnancy. Right now she is still breech but I have about 6 weeks for her to turn. Hopefully she will. I am still givng myself injections of heparin every night and will continue untill the end of the pregnancy. We couldn't be happier with the way things have gone for us here!!

Onto Victoria....

HAHA!! Now you all know what we really do with her!!!!!! CINDERELLA!!!!!!!!!No she is doing what I can't!! We are glad to have her here!!!

Her school is going well, she is really enjoying JROTC, which I never thought she would, but she does. She will be wearing her uniform for the first time on Wednesday, so get ready for some pictures of her!!

Her grades are doing much better now. She started out struggling, mostly in math. Now she is doing a lot better!!! She is turning into an amazing teenager!! Noah absolutely adores her, I know that our little girl will do the same!

Not pictured....David, but are you suprised?? he is NEVER home!! LOL Thats OK, we see him when we can and we love it!! He is doing great just working, he has always loved his job!!

Thats our update!! We can't wait to see everyone and hear how they are doing!!!!
