Two presents and a gift!

Wow! I cannot believe that October is over and we are coming up on November so quickly! I guess it's true that time flies when you are having fun and when you are busy, we are definitely doing both! This semester has been a busy one, we are both taking a heavy load of work along with other activities and responsibilities. We still make time for the fun though! We have enjoyed attending all of the BYU home football games this year and we cheer our hearts out!
Every year Grandma Harris hosts a big Halloween bash. It is a really big deal and all of the family comes! This years party was a big hit! There were so many creative costumes! There were pumpkin farmers and pumpkins, a prom queen, Cruella Deville, Andy Warhol, a cowboy, a couple of skeletons, an 80's workout girl, Harry Potter....I can't remember them all! Grandma always plans fun games and activities and, of course, a delicious meal! What a great tradition! Mitchell and I went as presents and had a lot of fun! We even brought party favors and noise makers for the kiddos. They loved it! Thanks Grandma for your patience and hard work!
Yesterday Mitchell and I went to our 12 week prenatal appointment. We were expecting to hear the heart beat but the midwife couldn't find it very easily so we were thrilled to get to see another ultrasound! It is magical to see the little being that is growing inside of me! This ultrasound was a lot more clear than the one at 7 1/2 weeks. We could see the head, ribs, heart beat, hands and feet! I know every mother thinks that whatever her child does is the cutest thing ever, I am apparently no exception. While we were poking around in "Little Timmy's" (as Mitchell affectionately calls him) environment, he pulled his legs in and then jumped! I keep thinking about how cute it was for me to see him move around! It will be amazing when I can actually feel the movement! For the record, we don't yet know if it is a boy or girl. I am hoping for a girl and Mitchell is hoping for a boy but it is just easier to refer to "it" as a "him." Don't worry, when we find out we'll let you all know!
