Decorating for Christmas at 39 weeks pregnant

Still going and still pregnant! 

I had a very full weekend visiting having Eddie's friends over on Saturday with another maternity photo shoot with Ruth Young Photography.

Then Sunday saw working at the Christmas in Little Washington (yes, while pregnant) at the Artisans Market with my Strike Daekins booth. The needle-felted "Wild Rovers" were immensely popular. :-)

I love this time of year, and it is even more magical this year especially waiting for the best Christmas present ever: my first baby. This is also the earliest we've ever put up our Christmas tree! The weather, however, has taken a turn for the "Florida". It is so bizarely warm, even by Virginia standards. Oh well, we still are having fun decorating the tree and the front porch with Christmas lights. 

The four cats investigate the new tree. This is Lion King and 23's first Christmas too. :-)

Snuggling with my sweet Lion King. He was in love with the shinies. 

Tree is all done! I have THE most chill cat in the world. He is awesome. 

Bebe's first Christmas tree!

38 Weeks

Wow, how time flies!
Here we are, getting very close to meeting whomever has taken up residence inside me for the last nine months. 

Programming Bebe early to be a Gogol fan ;-)

Me, our baby, and our cat, Fiddle

35 Weeks Pregnant

With just four and a half weeks left until my due date!

Happy All Hallows Eve, 2012

We just couldn't sit at home on Halloween, no matter how tired we were, and how often we are normally in costume. So, at the very last second, we decided to take a walk around Little Washington, VA amongst the Jack-o-Lanterns and Trick-or-Treaters. It was a beautiful crisp night and we got some really fun shots. I dressed up as a pregnant Siberian Fairy, hehe, and Eddie was something dark from another world. Not quite sure what he was. ;-)
This is technically Baby's first Halloween! She went as a "smuggled pumpkin".
