Halloween Practice

Our cutie pie shark is ready for Halloween and so excited for his shark costume. He had to try it on as soon as it came in the mail and that is why it is paired with plaid shorts. We love Halloween in the Ellingson household, but depending on when baby Ellingson comes, I may not be able to dress up this year because I will be busy taking care of the little one.

Relaxing in Sedona

We had a nice time relaxing in Sedona last weekend. It was our last getaway before the baby comes, so we tried to enjoy the calm before the storm. It was truly a special place and I couldn't but help think of my Grandma Jean with all the Native American influence at the resort. She would have loved all the Native American teachings and music provided, so it made me smile.

Mitch surprised me with some lovely spa treatments which were divine and the weather was crisp and sometimes chilly.....yay, fall.

My little boy who has the sweetest smile has decided to smile awkwardly in photos so I apologize for some goofy smiles.

Baby Ellingson

We had the opportunity to do a 4D ultrasound this past weekend and it was nice to focus on the little peanut. With lives being busy and with a preschooler, it is easy to get wrapped up in everything else, so we thought it was good to take some time out and do this. Carsten came with and had lots of questions, but thought his baby brother looked like a "frog". Thanks Carsten. 4D ultrasounds are a little odd and the baby looks more like an alien than a baby and the tech mentioned he was pushed up against the uterine wall so he was a little smushed, but still adorable.

We are excited for the little guy to make his appearance and now we are at the point that it is going to come sooner than later. The nursery is almost done, but I am not sure why I feel the need to finish because he will be in our room anyway for the first couple of months, but it is good to feel an accomplishment, right?

Snackin' In Style

Carsten is very proud of his new Fedora and thinks it is pretty cool he can look like dad. He was just relaxing and having a snack in his new Fedora yesterday...so cool!
