Starting to Show

I believe this has happened earlier in this pregnancy than the last, but then, I started the last pregnancy with a flat stomach and unfortunately didn't start this one that way.

Robin is funny.  He sees Dean taking a picture of my stomach every Sunday morning and wants a picture taken of his stomach too.

Dean and I went to our friends' annual Gingerbread Party last weekend.  We made a Borg cube and the Wolf 359 Massacre.  Click here so see the pictures I posted at my other blog.

Some highlights from the last month:
Much taller than he was last time he stood next to the dinosaurs at the Mueseum

Everybody wear a hat!

Mowing the snow (the only dusting we've gotten this year, anyway)

We went to Longmont's Holiday Parade with my parents again this year.  Robin enjoyed looking at the lights, especially the fire trucks!

Santa!!!

We took Robin to see Santa on Tuesday!

It was the shortest line we've ever waited in.  We asked if they have patterns for when it's busy versus when it's not, and one of the employees gave us a few ideas to keep in mind next year.  Strangely, though, she didn't say anything about the time of day we went, so it must have been a fluke.

Since the line was so short, we had much more time to play than we expected.  We spent some time playing with the fake snow at the Ice Palace display ane then explored the new play area.

The play area used to be giant breakfast foods, and now it's Looney Tunes.  Dean wondered how many of the kids even know who the Looney Tunes characters are.  Robin had fun though, regardless.

Our little climber took one look at the stairs to get up onto this mountain and decided it would be more fun to use the sign as a ladder.  He inspired many to follow him.

Finally, we sent a letter to Santa through Macy's Santa Mail.  We did a tiny bit of shopping, but weren't inspired by very much and we had to get Robin home for his nap.  Overall, it was a good day.

Thanksgiving pictures!

Here are the promised Thanksgiving photos.  Dean's sister hosted this year.  She purchased her own condo this summer, so it was the first time she had her own space in which to host a holiday!

 I don't have any good photos of us at the table this year.  I decided I would steal them from my mom's camera, but haven't had the opportunity yet.  Here is Robin, Dean and I at Kathy's.

 The Lewczyk Clan

 The Rhoadarmer Clan

 No Cochrans this year, the party poopers!

After dinner we decided to take a walk and went to the playground in Kathy's complex.  Robin has never had such a large entourage at a playground before, and thoroughly enjoyed the attention.
