Pumpkin Time!!

Finally, I found a moment to update the blog!! :) And the title means that our little Jelly Bean for Easter has turned into a Pumpkin just in time for Fall!! Wow, he is certainly taking up a lot of room in there. It is getting so hard to just sit or lie down comfortably....and night-time shifting has turned into 3-point turns.


JB has done some more traveling - he had a wonderful fun- & friend-filled baby shower in York at the end of August, organized by my mom. The shower was themed with jelly beans & books...so thoughtful. It was so nice to see such wonderful friends & family, and it was a "Book Shower", so Jelly Bean has already started quite a library collection. We also got a great rack that holds most of the books. I can't believe we didn't get any duplicates, and they are all such fantastic books! Thanks for the wonderful shower, Grandma! :)

We have also been traveling to PSU games - yesterday was the longest, coldest, wettest day so far. We went up early to enjoy a full day of tailgating....in the rain. But it was still good times. And luckily our seats are under the top deck, so we were dry. Unfortunately the game wasn't a lucky one for us. We did get a nice PSU pic with the belly so I will have to post that one on here soon!


JB even made it to our cousin's wedding in New York. It was a lot of driving, but it was a great time. And it was a blast to hang out with Tim & Tiffers & Mom (Dad was still in rehab recovering and learning to walk again). Tiffers & I even got a belly bump pic! :)



The car seat is in and ready to go....we took it to the State Police to install correctly, and boy I'm glad we did. It took them an hour to get it adjusted and installed safely. We never would have known that the car seat had to be at a 45 degree angle for a newborn.

Teaching has been okay...it's a little stressful this year,with a lot of early mornings and late nights spent at school, because we were given a new curriculum in August. Adding to that, less planning time and more student instruction time this year, it can be draining. But teaching itself has been pretty easy on me - I sit a lot in the front of the room when I'm teaching, because I get out of breath so quickly. But so far that has been the only hard part - my feet swell a little, but I haven't had any major problems. I really can't complain, because I know it could be a lot worse! :)

Well, that is a quick update...hopefully more later along with a PSU pic! :)
