The Last Few Weeks


I'm a little slow to post these days, but we've been doing some fun stuff. The weekend before Thanksgiving, we took the girls to the Exploratorium. Ava has been begging to go to a science museum, and I've always wanted to take them to the Exploratorium, but I was worried that they were a little young. I was so wrong. The girls loved it so much that we had to drag them out after several hours of fun, and we only scratched the surface of the exhibits.


The next day we celebrated Lilly's 4th birthday. I can't believe my baby is 4. She is such a blessing to our family and we just love how precocious and sweet she is.


Since we are officially in the window where I can't travel, we stayed home for Thanksgiving. We planned a nice dinner with friends, but Ava came down with the flu two days before, so we spent the day quarantined. Fortunately, my dear friends brought their portions of the dinner to us so we had quite the spread. Also, my sister Kati and her son were home alone because she was too sick with the flu to travel with the rest of her family, so we had a little company and cooking help. Everything turned out deliciously.


After Thanksgiving, we decorated the house for Christmas and went to Union Square for some ice skating and window shopping. We are officially diving into everything Christmas in an attempt to do most of our favorite holiday things before I'm home-bound with a newborn.

Wow, I am seriously impressed. It's as if you aren't pregnant at all, let alone with only a month to go! You have been busy and making such an effort to make the holidays and birthday a total success for your girls, despite being as uncomfortable and exhausted as i know you must be!
We really missed you on Thanksgiving, but I am glad you still had such a great dinner. :)
