Paige has been doing A LOT of family portraits these days.  Most have a baby in my belly, some of her most recent work has the baby already born.  Sometimes she remembers to include Marley, sometimes he gets forgotten...out of sight, out of mind.  Very nice and colorful Paige!

Just Tuesday night dinnertime talk -

This was the conversation at dinner tonight:


Luke: When are we moving to the new house?

Mom: After Christmas.

Luke: How long are we going to live in this house?

(We clearly move around too much for this question to be asked)

Mom: We are going to be living in that house for a very very long time, until you guys are off to college.

Luke: Will I be there when I am 21 years old?

Mom: You’ll be in college then.

Paige: I don’t want to move out of the house!

Luke: You have to Paige, that is how it works!

Paige: I don’t have to go to college until after Luke because I am younger than Luke, right?

Mom: Yes, Paige. You guys get to move out after college, get a job and have your own family. Don’t you want to have your own family?

Luke: NO! I am not going to get married to a girl. I want to marry a boy.

Paige: I’m going to marry Brennan!

Luke: I’m going to move to California and marry a boy.

Paige: Oh yeah, and lots of beaches there.

Mom: But you won’t be able to have kids if you marry a boy.

Luke: Oh yeah, I’m just going to have a girl give me a baby.

Mom: What girl would just give you their baby?

Luke: Paige can give me a baby, right Paige?

Paige: Um, I mean…maybe I can do that Luke.

Visit with Uncle Dave -

We had a nice visit with Uncle Dave this past weekend.  The kids were super excited for his visit.  We kept it pretty low key, went to dinner one night, showed him around our temp digs and went to a PC basketball game the next night. 

The kids were up early one day before school and decided to make these crowns -

Luke made "lunchables" for the entire family this weekend, complete with Halloween candy for dessert -

Santa Paigey -

Baby Class -

Preparing for baby. The kids took a sibling class at Newton-Wellesley this weekend.  They learned how to change a diaper (we'll see if they put those skills to use), swaddle and were told all the essentials like washing their hands before touching the baby.

They also got a tour of the labor and delivery floor and got to see the nursery.  Of course, they asked a million questions as our kids always do.

It was super cute and they got a certificate at the end of the class. 

Now we are officially ready for baby to come!!!

Paige-Mommy Day -

Paige and I were able to spend the day together today. Probably one of the last outings before baby comes.

We started by getting Paige her first salon haircut. Of course, she loved it!

Next stop was lunch. After lunch we headed to the nail salon.

We love the girlie days. We'll have to find a way to continue this when baby comes.

No one puts baby in the corner....

Unless you are born into the Peabody family living in a temporary house and have no room of your own.

This is all baby girl gets until we move.  The corner of our bedroom.
