To 3D or not to 3D

Well, I have to tell you, I have always been a little creeped out by 3D Ultrasounds of babies. They always look slightly Alienish. However, I had another ultrasound today because our little one wouldn't work with us to see all the points of interest on her body last time. The Sonographer, she's awesome, got done with all the screening and told me that she had enough time to see the baby in 3D. Nervous as I was, it was awesome! She's a bit skinny, but it was so neat to see her move and see her actual face. I'm sure she will have a Roberts nose just like mine. I have to say...I cried and now understand the interest in having a 3D picture of your baby. She just seems so real now.

Candy, Candy, Candy.... *sigh*

Well, another Halloween come and gone. Too much candy, not enough sleep, and did I mention too much candy?

This year I made Kiera a tutu. That's it! It was great! I usually spend a week and a half dedicating all my waking hours sewing! And this year, I spent 30 minutes! Why did I make this decision to go from one extreme to the other you ask? Well, one reason is my sewing machine is in the depths of the storage room trying not to get too much dust on it from all the construction. One of these days the basement will be done, I'm sure! The other reason, and to be honest, the real reason, is that this year...I just don't care. There you go!

I think my kids costumes turned out all right for not caring too much. Whew! Because in 6 months I would have been very mad at myself, I'm sure of this.

Kiera was totally into Trick-or-Treating this year. She ran from one house to the next, yelling at the top of her lungs, "Trick-or-Treat" and then, "Dallin, come on faster!" She wore the boy right out!
