My First Homeade Apple Pie

Duane is a totally awesome husband! Apple pie is his favorite so I took a chance and made one! It wasn't nearly as difficult as I thought thanks to my helper Melanie and some good advice from my Mom & Tim. Hopefully it will taste just as good as it looks & smells. Melanie & I did taste the apple filling....YUMMY. First we started with 10 granny smith apples. One is missing because Melanie ate it. Coated them with lemon juice & place them in a pot. Added the spices & sugar and stirred. Mmmmmm... My suburb helper Melanie. She LOVES to bake. Pored it in the pie plate. Covered with the top crust and added the slits. Ta DA! Golden brown, delicious smelling apple pie! It looks like it taste good, right?

Melanie's Thanksgiving Turkey

I "googled" Thanksgiving printables and found this cute cut-out. You color the pieces, cut them out & then glue them together. Viola! You have a Thanksgiving Turkey!

20 Weeks...Half Way There!

Doing great, feeling great...except at the end of the day! LOL! I'm pretty worn out. But this baby is just a moving. When my midwife tried to get a heartbeat with the Doppler this baby kept swimming away and eventually kicked at it. You could clearly see my stomach move from it's response. And see my belly move you can! We can see the pitter pats of movement and mini rolls when this baby moves sometimes! That is super miraculous to me! Again, it's seems a little early to be able to see these things. I guess I just don't remember from my previous pregnancies. Can you believe I have a life form growing inside of me? Amazing. -

Texas State Fair Pics

I forgot to post these after we went to the TX State Fair in October. OOPS! We went through a scene for kids called Little Hands on the Farm. Melanie got to replicate what it would be like to work on a farm. We also went through a petting zoo. Melanie rode a few rides & we shared a corn dog. It was a super great day! - - - -
