CC Plays Doctor

We took CC with us to the ultrasound and my last OB appointment. Since then, she wants to play doctor. She puts on the headset for the computer and uses the microphone as the "stethoscope" to listen to my belly. This afternoon, she wanted to be the "doctor" and told me to sit on the couch. She pulled up my shirt, got some pretend "soap" (she meant the gel used during ultrasounds), and proceed to move the microphone (ultrasound wand) over my stomach. She pointed to the wall and said, "look mommy, it's my baby brother." This is exactly what happened in the doctor's office. Super sweet!

CC's First Gingerbread House

This year, I decided to let CC make a gingerbread house. She had a blast. Check out the pictures. It's currently being "fixed." Once it's healed, she'll finish decorating and I'll take a picture of the final product.

Santa Tracking

Don't forget to track Santa Claus on Christmas Eve.

Do you have an "attitude of gratitude"?

I got this link from a friend's blog. I'm going to work hard to develop an attitude of gratitude. 2010 will provide us with many challenges (and happy moments like a new baby boy) and a chance for me to practice my new "attitude with gratitude."

She makes my heart melt!

This morning CC and I were snuggling on the couch before we had to get ready for school and work. She looked up at me and said, "mommy, I love you." Yep, made me cry! I love you, too!

The Girls

From December 2009

CC and I were hanging out in the office/playroom when she asked me to take a picture of us. Well, as you can see I was NOT dressed for a picture. But, I couldn't turn her down! She's a doll!

The Three Behrs

We are so excited to have the Three Behrs back in town! We love you guys!

Daddy-Daughter Time

Things Kids Say

CC pointed to a freckle on my leg and said, "Mommy has polka dots."

Already planning...

I purchased this sailboat set from Pottery Barn Kids for Deuce's nursery. What do you think?

NOTE: This is NOT our nursery but a picture from the PBK website.

The Behr Family Comes "Home"

We are so excited that the Behr family is moving back to VA. So excited, that we decided to surprise them with a decorated Christmas tree. Shh! Don't tell them, it's a secret.

CC was supposed to help decorate but she decided to take a 2 hour nap instead.

We're having a boy!

Boy or Girl?

Cheeseburger Soup

Tonight I decided to try something new. So, I searched the Internet for a cheeseburger soup recipe to get me started. I made some changes (and will make some more next time just because I think they sound good). To see the recipe with my changes, go to our cookbook.

CC's Latest Artwork...

just happens to be on her face. Yes, you read right. This morning before school, CC decided to color. However, rather than color on the paper she had, she decided to use her face.

Girl's Weekend

This past weekend, I met some girlfriends in Fredericksburg, VA. We enjoyed the first snow of the season; just in time to put us in the holiday spirit. And, we were able to watch the annual Christmas parade from the warmth of the local Irish Pub.

Here are a few pictures from our trip.

November Nor'easter

Once again, we survived another storm and feel very fortunate. It's hard to believe that we live across the street from the Chesapeake Bay and had NO flooding, NO wind damage, AND we never lost power (okay, for 3-4 minutes at one point Thursday night).

Yesterday, we had to drive to my office so I could get some items before my trip to TX. It was quite the adventure and I'm glad we took the jeep. What is typically a 15 minute, easy drive turned into an off-road adventure, or so it seemed.

To see the pictures we took, go to our online album. To see pictures that other people around HR took, go to the Wavy website.

Storm Dates: November 12, November 13, November 14
