Autumn-my favorite time of the year. Cool, crisp air; falling temperatures, and beautiful leaves! Cam and I took the boys up the hill to take some pictures among the leaves. They had fun playing among the leaves, and of course, playing in the dirt.

Joshua is growing like a weed. He even naps again now, because it is just wearing him out. I just bought him 4 pairs of pants two months ago, and they are already too short. So if you see him walking around in floods, blame his mother. He is loving the Halloween season and can't wait to dress up for the big day. Okay, actually he dresses up in costume almost every day-I figure we are getting our money's worth on Darth Vader and Wolverine. He is still deciding between the two. I'm going to be "Storm" (a pregnant storm at that, no leather pants for me, thank you) Daxton will be "Cyclops" and I'm trying to talk Cam into being Professor X (I bought him a bald cap and everything.) I'll post pictures once we dress up.

Daxton is now walking but still crawls around too. He loves walking, and gets excited when he does it. He is also LOVING stairs. Our St. George home was only one floor, so the stairs thing is new to him. He is constantly going up and down them, whenever he has the chance-and the house we just bought has plenty of them, so it will be real interesting. If you see lots of bruises on his giant head, just remember, lots of stairs.

Cam is still working Ski Mania and doing swaps on the weekends. He likes it, and likes it even better that he gets pro-forms (list of stuff for wholesale) for Black Diamond, Solomon and North Face. So, he got me all new ski equipment and in only 2 more years, I can use it! (hopefully I'll still remember how to ski by then. This whole being pregnant two years in a row really blows.)

I am currently 33 weeks pregnant and I'm loving every minute of it (YEAH RIGHT!) Actually, I'm not doing too bad, and the best part is-I still have ankles! I need to remember to do the last trimester when it's cooler, it makes a world of difference! I keep thinking I have only a month and a half left, and that scares the crap out of me, but I suppose I'll get used to the change. I'm pretty sure it''s a girl, so that's what I'm planning on. However, I have yet to buy anything for a girl, because I don't want to get my hopes up.

We will be moving into our new home tomorrow. I am very excited to have a little more room, even if it will only be for a few months. We closed today, so things are moving along. Cam has been loooking up houses in Brussels again, and has found some good ones we could rent. He will leave the end of December, and I will follow a few weeks later. New baby, new home, new country, new language. Pretty Crazy.

So, if any of you are looking for a good book to read,I have read a few. "Peter and the starcatchers" is a good fantasy one-it tells of the Peter pan story, before he was peter pan. Also, if you need a laugh, and don't mind a little swearing, "Nanny Diaries" and "Belly Laughs" are great. Belly Laughs is about being pregnant, written by Jenny Mcarthy. It is hillarious!

Hope you enjoy the pictures. I love those boys!
