Snips and snails and puppy dog tails...

 Yesterday was our second ultrasound this month. Our first ultrasound didn't give us any clues as to whether blue or pink was the appropriate color. Its amazing how much difference three weeks makes at this point. The baby was much bigger, pictures were easier to decipher and we finally got our answer.We're having a boy!!! We are all very excited...although Rebecca is still saying "maybe tomorrow it will be a girl". I don't think she'll mind when he shows up though. Now we can get in gear setting up a room for our little guy. Aaron's Case tractor collection is going to come in very handy! We're counting down and realizing that this pregnancy is really flying by. Now that the morning sickness is a distant memory its a lot of fun dreaming and planning. A toddler in the house helps so much to make the days pass quickly as well. Before we know it we'll be holding our tiny little man! He's looking healthy so far and we've given him his name....Levi Warren Alldredge.....we can't wait to meet you!

Santa at the Library

Last week our local "Santa" came to the library to do a program for the children. Rebecca and I really enjoyed it last year, and this year we were glad to find a time when Daddy could join us. This guy is really great, quite believable, and the children love him. He always brings a harness from his reindeer and other bells from his sleigh, reads a couple stories, and sings songs. Then all the little ones get to talk to him and take pics. Rebecca's request this year was "a toy car and a baby doll". I think we can manage that one!

Rebecca's 1st Snowman!

This morning we woke to a light dusting of snow, but for Rebecca it was what she was waiting for....since August! In August she had watched an episode of Caillou where he builds a snowman and she has been wishing for snow ever since. So this morning daddy bundled her up and they went out to see if they could find enough snow to fulfill her wishes. ;-)

Daddy had to gather snow from off the truck to get enough.

Snowball!

So happy!

He's so tiny!

Rebecca's very tiny snowman!
