A good walk

The trees around here have no consistency in fall. Some of them are bare already, others are still brilliant, and the rest are stubbornly refusing to accept the cold, rain, and wind as a sign that summer is over. Luckily the majority fall into the second category, which is my favorite so yesterday Rowan, Max, and I trekked around checking them out.

Here we are starting out on our walk
bright eyed on the left and slightly bushy tailed on the right ;)

I like the ones that have many colors at once :)

Every once in a while we'd stop and I'd ask Rowan which leaves on the ground I should take a picture of. Having all the feet in this shot was a happy coincidence :)

These next couple are a bit more special and so a bit bigger ;)

Our first sibling photos!

I'm sure most everyone already knows but just so it's official
we're having a GIRL!
Little miss Katelyn should be here around the 4th of March

Rowan is already a sweet and loving
big brother to baby "Kah-kee"(Katie)
I thought it was super cute to take a picture of them "together"

Yesterday evening I was in the rocking chair when Rowan came up and lifted my shirt to look at my belly. "Kah-kee? Hide?" he asked pointing to my belly, "Yep, Katie's hiding in there" I replied. We figure telling Rowan that Katelyn is "hiding" is the best explanation for why she's inside me at this point. After he made sure she was still in there he took his blankie and put it over my belly, straightened the bottom edge over my lap, and gave my belly and Katie in it a hug. Then he climbed up and we all cuddled. It was so adorable and sweet I just about melted :)

If that doesn't warm your heart I don't know what will ;D
