I hope you enjoyed these pictures of me! I was very busy this past weekend. I dressed up in my first real costume. Mommy and Daddy picked out several outfits for me, but they did not fit my style. They wanted me to be a doggy, then Thomas, but I didn't like those costumes. So on Saturday, they finally got me what I wanted, a football jersey! They didn't have a Pittsburgh Steelers Jersey in my size, so I had to settle for a VA Tech jersey instead. I went to church and enjoyed eating pizza and watching some really awesome Irish dancers before we went trunk or treating. It was raining, so we had to move it inside. I had so much fun! I came home and daddy gave me a piece or two of my candy! I LOVE chocolate! On Sunday, we rode through Williamsburg and saw lots of things! My favorite thing to do right now is play with my trains! I am growing up so fast, mommy and daddy can't believe it! At daycare this week I am having a Halloween party. Trick or Treat!

Happy Fall!

Drew models his new Rainforest Cafe shirt!

Lot's of things have been going on here in Virginia! Week before last, we helped Kaleigh celebrate her 4th birthday! Ben and his two girls came in from California. We had a full house! It was a lot of fun!
Last weekend, Matthew's family came to visit! We had a condo on Sandbridge Beach. The weather on Thursday (and the whole beginning of the week) was in the high 80's. When we woke up in the condo Friday morning, it was cold and rainy.... 50something degrees cold. So no beach weather but regardless, we had a good time! We toured Norfolk and Virginia Beach and ate at the Cheesecake Factory (my favorite) and a nice restaurant on the beach!
I went to the doctor on Friday for my glucose test, and found out on Monday that I failed it yet again... but my blood sugar is much higher this time. Now I get to go and do the lovely 3 hour make you sick to your stomach test to tell me what I already know... that I have gestational diabetes again. The doctor says the baby is already measuring big, so I know that means not getting to eat all the things pregnant women want... carbs, carbs and more carbs, chocolate, salty snacks, pretty much all the stuff I crave!!! I also found out on Monday that the job I was pretty much told was mine, probably won't be. The lady I am subbing for is getting better (which is great for her) but not so great for me. She will most probably be back after Christmas, sometime in January. The principal wants to keep me on board, and said he will try his best. But, I am heading to a job fair in VA Beach tomorrow. So please keep all of this in your prayers.
Drew is doing well, he has lots planned for Halloween, except, he won't wear a costume.. at least the two I have he won't wear, so he may be going as Drew for Halloween.... lol
Until next time, HAPPY FALL!

A recap of the last two weekends

Ava, Drew and Aiden... waiting patiently for lunch.

My how time flies... here is a picture of Drew and Ava from last weekend! Can we go ahead and arrange this marriage???
Our afternoon at the beach! The air temperature was around 80 degrees... but not so much the water... Drew didn't seem to mind the cold water!!!


We went to church and sent Drew to his second week of Sunday School with the "big kids". There are two 2 year olds (including Drew) and a few three year olds. He does a pretty good job sitting still (for the most part) and is learning all sorts of new things!

Welcome to our new blog! I hope we can keep it updated as much as possible. This picture was taken on Drew's birthday (September 2nd) on his new swing!

We are experiencing our first fall in Chesapeake and so far it has been beautiful! Cool crisp mornings have replaced the hot, sweat dripping mornings! Not much is going on right now, just work and school for us and preparing for our new little boy in a few short months. We still don't have a definite name for him, however Caleb is still in first place.

Drew has been very busy this week. He had a big week at school, learning lots of new things about fall. He had his 2 year old check up this week, weighing in at a big 26.5 lbs (unchanged for about 6-9 months now) but has grown about 2 inches or so since his last checkup! He is 34.5 inches tall! Thankfully, average height, unlike his parents! The pediatrician says he looks great and his development is right on track, his language development however is way beyond his age...

Will post more later, as more fun things are happening with the Chadwicks!

Stepping out into technology...

So this is a scary thing... I am trying to create a blog for the first time... I hope this works! More to come...
