A little love.

Still waiting on the new baby. We are officially in extra innings now as Janna has passed her due date. So as we continue to wait, we thought we'd post a little singing from last night. Aaralyn has really taken to singing. Sometimes with us, sometimes all by herself. It is crazy how quickly she is learning words now. So fun.

Here is some post dinner song:


Next video will have baby 2 in it... we hope. :-)

The Library

So Amy has introduced us to Baby Time at the Main Library on Tuesday mornings. We have really enjoyed going...Aaralyn LOVES the songs and the movements that we do.

This week, Aaralyn's Gigi and Aunt Marley got to come and enjoy the festivities.

(Singing with "Aunt La-lee")

(Ms. Mary- the teacher)

("close your eyes")

(singing "two little blackbirds")

(Isaiah, Aaralyn, and Aiden who have become quite good friends)

(MY library friends- Amy and Kelley)

Greek Festival

On Saturday, we met some friends at the Greek Festival here in Tallahassee. Basically, it is Greek food mania with some Greek dancing/entertainment thrown in. The food was good...apparently not great, according to Amy and Kelly who grew up going to AMAZING Greek festivals in their hometown of Tarpon Springs. But I didn't know any better, so I thought it was great!

The best part was the fun that all the kids had while we were there. It was fun watching them play...
Isaiah being, as usual, super funny!

Aaralyn littlest friends, Eli and Caroline

Eli (looking just like his Daddy)

Playing with DaDa

Aaralyn, Isaiah, and Aiden...being the silly kids that they are :)

Holding hands (how cute!!) while we headed to the "dance party" after dinner.

While they played music (Greek music, of course!), they allowed the kids to get up on stage and dance. Aaralyn LOVED it. She really liked being with all the other kids and dancing to the music.

Isaiah and Aiden decided to lay down...it was funny.

Getting the three dancers in one picture...kinda hard to manage. This is the best one I got!

After the kids danced, they had "Greek" performers dance for everyone. (I don't think Aiden approved...)

It was a fun evening...something everyone enjoyed. Good food, great friends and cute kids. What more could you want in an evening?

Pumpkin Patch

Yesterday, we went and visited a Pumpkin Patch here in Tallahassee. It was very fun and Aaralyn had a great time running around and being outside with the "punkins" - as she says.
She went around hugging all the pumpkins- big and small. It was so very cute! I call this series of pictures "Hugging of the Pumpkins."
big ones...

bigger ones...

even the "warty' ones...



the tiny ones too...yes, she is trying to bend down and give it a hug!

Ashley was with us and we got a picture of the three of us! That never happens, because I am usually behind the camera!!


Now on to the "Carving of the Pumpkin" series...
This is the first in our Fisher history! (actually, only the second time I had EVER carved a pumpkin!)
teaching Aaralyn how to get the seeds out.

reaching down deep...her arm almost wasn't long enough!

we got something...

"Eeeeds!" I think she liked it!

Ashley is our in-home artist, so she did the honors of drawing the design.

We all took a swing at the actual carving...well, everyone but Aaralyn! Ashley carved the eyes...

Donny did the mouth...

And I did the nose. It was great fun!

Our beautiful...well, VERY CUTE...pumpkin!

I think this will become a family tradition!!

Stay tuned for today's adventure...the Tallahassee Greek Festival...coming soon!

Slide!!

We went for a walk today down to the mailbox at our apartment complex and made a detour to the little play area. There we discovered that Aaralyn loves to slide and that she loves to do it by herself. If you remember on a previous post of her at the park, she was pretty unsure of the slide. Now, apparently, she isn't.
I only had my phone with me (hence the poor quality) so here are two short videos of her having a great time!

(note: I apologize for being SO LOUD on the video...if I had only known... So turn down your volume a little and consider yourself warned!!)

Diaper Shower

On Saturday, my great friend, Amy, hosted a baby shower for me at the Cake Shop here in Tallahassee. Everyone blessed us with diapers and wipes (which are a great gift!!!!) It was a special time to hang out with some wonderful women and eat some great cupcakes!!

Fun Presents!

Red Velvet Cupcake! Yummmmmy!!

Cute chocolates.

Stephanie, Christina and Amy...having a good time, of course!

Grace and Bella...my beautiful Korean friends.

Thank you, Amy, for a WONDERFUL shower! I had a GREAT time!!

Some ABC's... caught on video.

This was from a couple weeks ago. We hope you enjoy!

Hi, Sissy!

We are getting prepared for our new little arrival. Technically, she is due to arrive in 3 weeks. We are praying that she comes sooner...any time now would be GREAT! I wanted to get some pictures taken of Aaralyn and me before it was too late. So Donny took some for us on Saturday. Aaralyn calls my belly "Sissy" (hope we don't confuse her too much!) and gives sweet hugs and kisses.
Sweet kiss.
Hi, Sissy!
Hugs.
Mmmm-waaaa!
