Preparations

It's been a bit longer than usual since our last post, but things have been a little crazy around here with finals for Barry and preparations for the new baby and Christmas. Since our last post, we had Quinton's birthday party, which was a lot of fun. Even though he started off the night with a fat lip from falling, he still had fun playing with his cousins and eating cake. He even dug into the frosting before we cut him a piece!

For Thanksgiving, we went to Oakley and spent a few days with Barry's family. It was nice to see them and the food was great! The day after we went Christmas tree hunting (well, it was mostly Barry because it was so cold and Quinton was not feeling very good) and got a nice tree that we took to my parents' house since that's where we'll be for Christmas.

Quinton sure is growing up. He has 6 teeth coming in! Almost all of them have broken through now and he's been a real trooper through it all.

Quinton inherited the spaghetti-lover gene from his mom and thoroughly enjoys getting into a bowl of it. You can see his classic scowl in the second picture. He gives us this look when we aren't doing quite what he wants. Silly boy.
Barry made it through his first semester as a graduate student with flying colors! We're so proud of him and all his hard work. Now he has a month off so we are getting ready for the baby to come. We're having her by c-section this Friday at the Blackfoot hospital in the morning. It's nice knowing when it's going to be and I'm definitely looking forward to not going through labor. We'll probably get to leave on Sunday and then we'll be spending a little while at my parents' house for the holidays and to have some extra help which will be really nice. A few of my friends in our ward threw a little shower for me so I could have a few girl items. It was so nice of them!
