Its already December!

Elise and I with our kids when she was here for a visit in October.





One weekend in September Emma and I were able to go to a retreat called Women in the woods. She was soo excited to be able to go for a horse ride.










This is a pretty common picture, both girls love to be in Daddy's lap as soon as he comes home.



Dakota and Emma were out in the rain one afternoon. Dakota's raincoat and boots were too big, but it was soo cute to see her walking around.

I guess part of me is glad it is, I have 8 weeks till baby 3 is due!! YAY I have to say I'm ready to be done, my back is sore, my belly is sore, I have a cough and it hurts to cough so that's no fun. But other then that I feel like this pregnancy has gone well. Last week I went to a Dr's appointment and a lady that I didn't know came walking up to me smiling and she told me she thought I was having a boy. Its kind of funny to have people come up to you and tell you what they think you are having, how do they know???

Christmas is just around the corner and I haven't even started Christmas shopping. I am so indecisive that I just don't know what to buy people, its a good thing that we draw names on the dunham side because that means only 1 gift. I don't even know what to get Ryan. Buying gifts suck!! Okay now that I got that out. Its hard to decorate for Christmas when all your stuff is packed in a box and you are living in someone else's house. I guess I don't want to bother but maybe some day.

Ryan's car has had to have some work, and the family car needed to get all new tires so now we really don't have money for Christmas. We were hoping to work off rent on the house this month but that didnt' happen either, so we are going to be a little short this month. Does that sound familiar with other people??? For some reason it doesn't sound like something that would happen to just our family :)

We are planning to go to Red Lake the week of Christmas, as of now we'll plan on it but we'll have to see what the Dr. says :)

The girls are doing well, they both were a little sick but are getting better. I had the Dr. look at Dakota, and she said that D had a double ear infection! so she put her on antibiotics right away, it cleared it up and now she's her little rambuncious self again! She's a doll! always happy and smiling. Emma is our little scholar, she loves to learn. She is learning to write her alpehbet and she would love to be able to read her stories herself, so we are working on it a little at a time.

I have a few pictures but they don't really have any order or significance, but I'll share some.
