Baby Brunch

A small group of friends got together at the Rusty Pelican to toast the arrival of my little man.  It was such a nice way to celebrate!  Baby Ritter got so many nice gifts.  I feel so blessed to have such wonderful friends and family!

33 weeks

 Hailee cant wait for her brother to get here.  

She rubs my belly and kisses it everyday.  It is so sweet!

Hanna is excited too but didn't want to smile for a picture :)

My belly has grown quite a bit in the last couple of weeks!  I had a doctor appointment the other day and baby Ritter is measuring 2 weeks bigger!  She said if I go full term he will probably be a big boy...8 or 8 1/2 pounds.  Wowzers!!!  I have to go in for fetal monitoring every 3 or 4 days for the rest of my pregnancy due to some asthma and thyroid issues that I have.  So much for any free time I might of had now that the girls are back in school.  On the plus side I get to hear my little guys, or should I say BIG guys, heartbeat every few days.  I can't wait to meet him!

Angry Birds

Hailee's soccer team name is the angry birds!  Let's kick some booty this year :)

Hanna's 1st day of Preschool...2011

Hanna did so awesome her 1st day of preschool!  Not a single tear from my BIG girl :)  Even though it was her second year starting preschool I thought for sure after a fun summer at home with mommy that she would have a little separation anxiety..not a chance!  She loves her school, her teacher, and her friends!  I am proud of you and love you Hanna!

Matching outfits from their shopping spree with Grandma Spike.  So cute!

My BIG 1st grader- 1st day!

Hailee is officially a 1st grader!  I was so proud at how well she did when I dropped her off.  She was really nervous and had a few tears before we left for school but once we got there she did great.  I can't believe how fast she is growing up!  I love you baby girl!!!

Before School

 Hugs from Sissy

At School

2nd Day- All Smiles :) 

Date with Mommy

Before summer ended and school started I took the girls separately to Color Me Mine for a date with mommy.  We had ice cream and they created their masterpieces.  It was so much fun spending time alone with each of my girls!

30 Weeks

30 weeks- My silly pictures!

It is always kind of awkward taking pregnancy pictures but it is nice to look back on!

This pregnancy has been smooth sailing! Gone by fast and I have felt pretty good overall- not too much to complain about :)

Ballet, Soccer, Gymnastics

And so the madness begins...Hailee is playing soccer again.  I wouldn't say it is her favorite thing to do but she asked to play and seems to be enjoying it.  She also wanted to try gymnastics and LOVES it!  It is really cute to see her so passionate about something.

Hanna will be starting ballet this week with her cousin Kaylee.  She is so excited to wear a tutu and "twirl around" as she says.  She is such a little girly girl and I love it!
