This Week In Pictures...

The much anticipated camera came in the mail this week. (yes, we couldn't wait until Black Friday) And as a result, we've been picture happy. But we have a very worthy subject who has been keeping us entertained the last few days.

Hangin out on the kitchen floor...showin off some belly (her, not me)  :)

Learning to color (and not eat the crayons)  

I had my first photo shoot this week with my very own speedlite! and Eden came along:

Dada and Eden bundled up cuz it's been cooooooooold lately! (and because that was the day OU was about to humiliate Tech)

Bath time

Discovering the art of making faces on a window

Leaving a toddler alone in her room for "play time" proves to be pretty entertaining for parents too! She pulled out her diapers and found her own personal-sized basket.

Of queso and bean burritos...

We're thrilled to inform the blogging world that Chancler kiddo #2 is on the way! I'm 10 weeks preggo and feeling every bit of it. Which means odd cravings for Taco Bell bean burritos, utter exhaustion, and hurling at the sight of leftover queso. I feel like I'm already showing but I'm sure that's a result of nasty bloating and one too many strawberry popsicles.
We've heard the precious heartbeat (yes just one!) and have been given the due date of June 14th. We're super excited and of course praying that the nausea passes quickly so that mornings can be a little more exciting around here.
This time around is proving to be a lot different than my pregnancy with Eden. The only symptom I had with her was an enlarging abdomen. But of course I couldn't indulge every craving I had when we lived in China. So things are kind of balancing out I guess. Feeling nausea but having an Arby's down the street is alright in the grand scheme of things! :)
And this time around we were able to tell our parents in person rather than via Skype! That was exciting to be there with them to give them the news! We made Eden a cute little t-shirt that says "I'm going to be a big sister!" But of course after 30 minutes of them still not noticing her shirt, we gave in and had to tell them a different way! But still very fun!
So let us know your prediction! Boy or girl? Vote in the poll to the right!
I'm not telling you our predictions so as to not sway your vote... :) But let us know what you think!

Eden's Invention

It's a good thing Christmas is just around the corner because Eden is in desperate need of some new toys. Her favorite new activity ("toy") lately is rolling pin golf. You know...golfing with a rolling pin. You mean everyone didn't do this as a kid?

This may be the last picture you see on here for awhile. I've just sold my beloved camera in hopes of "sizing up" to a Canon 50D.  But we're waiting until Black Friday (day after thanksgiving for all you non-crazy 4 a.m. shoppers) to see if there might be some great deals on one. I know, it's stupid to be camera-less around the Holidays...especially when you've got a cutie 13 month old hangin' around. 

Starting Early

Our neighbors have a cool power-wheels toy that they let us borrow today to see if Eden could figure it out. After numerous times of holding her thumb on the "gas button" she sort of got the hang of it! Every time she'd give it some gas it would throw her back a little making her thumb come off the button...it gave us a good laugh. :)
