Happy Thanksgiving!

What Kyle has been up to..

He wasn't a fan of bath time

He does a lot of this...

Happy Birthday Pop-Pop!

Justin sang a little song for Pop-Pop before heading off to school this morning:

Fun with Grandma and Grampa

Justin was so excited to see Grampa on Friday when he got to town. They spent a couple of days reading the tractor sales magazine, playing with Justin's new backhoe, visiting the John Deere dealership and going to the rodeo! Justin could spend hours discussing tractors with Grampa and not get bored. Here are some photos from the weekend!

We miss you Grandma and Grampa!

Thanks Mom!

My mom deserves her own post. She came down to Texas on Halloween and hung out with us for 10 days. She was such a great help with Justin - our transition back home would not have been as easy without her! Thanks Mom for toughing it out with us and enduring several nights of bad sleep between Justin and the baby!  We loved having you here and really appreciate all of your help!

Kyle Edward Prinz - 11/2/12

Kyle Edward Prinz was born on November 2, 2012 at 1:48 PM.  He weighed in at 7 lbs, 6 oz and is just over 20 inches long.  Kyle's birth was much easier and relaxing than Justin's although it was weird to have a scheduled time for him to "come out."  He is eating and sleeping very well and Tanya is improving a little each hour.  The plan is to stay in the hospital for three nights so hopefully we'll be going home on Monday.  Grandma Riggan brought Justin by for a visit today and it went better than expected.  Justin just wanted to squeeze Kyle, which he didn't like too much.  Here are a few pictures of the first 36 hours.

School Halloween Party

Justin had his Halloween "parade" at school today. Sure seems like a lot of work for little reward- but they were cute :)

Here are some photos of getting ready this morning:

And photos from school. There were THREE Buzz Lightyear's.   Justin has never even seen that movie...

Light the Night 2012

We participated in the Light the Night Walk again this year. Here are a few photos!

Our last weekend as a family of 3!

Makes me sad that he never got to know some pretty amazing people because cancer took them too soon

37 Weeks...less than two to go!

Justin has been enjoying pulling things out of the bins that have come down from the attic. He's currently dragging this puppy around that plays a little lullaby. He has been talking to the baby in the belly a bit more - which is entertaining. This video gives you a glimpse of his conversations.

Dave worked this weekend and we spent most of the weekend playing with cars and trucks - big surprise. We did go visit Daddy at the golf course this morning before a big trip to Babies r Us to pick up a few more things. Justin was SO GOOD at the store and lunch afterwards. Some days the kid makes me crazy -and some days he's just as sweet as can be. During lunch he even gave me hugs randomly. Here are a few more shots from our weekend.

Howdy Pardner!

Evidently the belly makes a great mountain for the cars and trucks.

The puppy he's dragging around

Where mommy goes- cars follow

Still plenty of organizing to be done around the house in the next 10 days - I'll be putting Dave to work next weekend!!
