Vivid Colors, Brisk Air, & No Heat


Fall is definitely here and in full bloom in Indianapolis. The multitude of beautiful colors have exploded onto their simple leaf pallets they have been hiding in all summer long. I personally love the vivid fall colors and cool brisk air. Its a wonderful season.

As many of you know our older Lumina for the past few years has had us enduring the frigid weather of the north due to a broken heater. Well we finally got it fixed. It took the mechanic about two weeks to get it finished for us but its done. It has been very nice since the temperatures have decided to drop. Unfortunately for us our furnace in our house has decided not to work for us lately. My cousin thinks he knows what it is, and says the part only will cost about $20. I sure hope that's what it is, I think i will give it a try today. Thank goodness for the heated blanket we bought for a car ride home from Chrissy's family and the space heater my mom left when we she moved back to Branson.

Our shopping adventures

We went baby shopping this weekend. We got a diaper bag and stroller at Once Upon a Child and a three piece dresser set at Goodwill that only cost $70! We are going to strip and paint the dressers and put new knobs on them and it should last Adyson for a long time. I also washed all our baby clothes, I just couldn't wait any longer. I want to see them hanging in her closet. She is moving alot. Kris felt her last night for the first time. It was very faint and like a little tickle but we were excited. I want to decorate her room more every day but trying to be patient. Five weeks and we are in our third trimester, it's going fast.

Jo and Rob

Another cousin is on it's way! Johanna and Robbie are pregnant. They are due in May or early June. This will be their third child and I am hoping its a girl but we will have to wait and see. They are not going to find out until she/he are here.

First Time Parents

Adyson got her very first girl outfit the other night at Old Navy. Chrissy could hardly wait to spend her $20 gift card given to her by her former co teacher. (Thanks Hillary) Funny thing about buying kids clothes they cost as much or more than mine! We spent far more than that gift card, but for her first adorable girl outfit I couldn't complain.
Chrissy was telling some of her friends from work about it and one teacher said "That's such a first time parent thing to do!" So it is... and yes we are.
