We have been enjoying our transition from summer to fall. I hate to admit it, but being pregnant and hot all the time, I have been welcoming this cooler weather. It's also nice to not have to put sunscreen on Ben every time we step outside.
We are all moved in to our new place. My parents came for a few days and helped us with the move. I was so thankful that they were able to come, they really were a huge help. Phil and I couldn't have done it without them. We are loving our new place. There is so much more room. Ben gets to ride his bike in the driveway, which is his favorite activity. That is the first thing he asks to do when he gets up. We also love being within walking distance to our good friends the Jansen's.
We have been keeping busy like always. We are continuing to go to the zoo. Ben loves riding the train, it is so cute to hear him squeal for joy when he hears it. In mid September we went to a wedding in Detroit. Grandma Teena and Grandpa Rudy were able to come down and watch Ben while we went to the wedding. It was really nice to spend some time with them and have Ben play with his Grandparents. Leaving always makes us wish we lived closer to family.
Last weekend we went to a fire department open house. Ben loved it! He ran right to the ladder truck squealing, "Up, Up," all the way there. He got to climb into all of the fire trucks and even got to spray the fire hose. Later that day we went to get a pumpkin. Ben got to go on a "train" ride with Dad, and we took a tractor out to the pumpkin patch to pick out our pumpkin. He had a hard time walking through the field with all the vines, but he loved every minute of it.
Grandma Teena and Grandpa Rudy are making a trip here in 2 weeks. We are very excited for that, and have a new custard place to take them to. I am looking forward to meeting our newest addition. I still have 8 weeks until my due date, but I am getting excited (not so much for the labor). My parents are going to come when the baby comes, and then Teena will come after that. It will be great to have the extra help. Phil only gets a week off and I know that will go by super fast. However, he only works 5 minutes away, and said he could come home for his lunch to help out. It makes me feel better knowing that.
This may be my last post until baby comes, so I will take all the prayers I can get! My due date is November 29th. We will make sure to send out pictures when the newest York comes!
