And of course little miss! Although she isn't here yet & we don't know her, she is very much loved already. She loves to dance when mommy is listening to Christmas music or ready for bed, she liked grape juice & keeping mommy awake all the time.

Our family who has always supported us no matter where we end up. The military has taken us to faraway places & we can always count on them to be there with us through thick & thin, helping us & doing all they can for us.

It's been a great year with lots of changes & even bigger ones headed our way. We are all geared up to enjoy our first winter, Christmas, New Years & so much more, including birthdays & babies, in the coming months.

 

But for now, nesting has begun & I am fighting every urge to put together little Miss's furniture to work on a loooong paper I've been putting off far tooo long. It's freezing outside so movies, coffee & theory papers are in the forecast for the day.

 

Hopefully I will make the time to get a bump picture & make an update many weeks late.

 

Happy Saturday!

 

 

 

 

 He is so obsessed that he can point out many kinds of construction vehicles every time we see one, which is often since we live in a new development & they're building new houses in the lots behind ours. So our breakfast conversations go a little like this: "Mommy! Look at that digger! He's in the dirt! Where's bulldoze'?"

Oh & can't forget about cars. He has to touch every car we walk past in a parking lot & knows probably 5 or so car brands just by looking at them!

 

 

 

 

Needless to say, he is a full-on boy loves trucks kind of guy. He has some more coming his way when Christmas arrives & we just know he is going to love them.

 

 

 

We went to Boo at the Zoo at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo this year! It's not a thing they do in Germany so we've never been able to go & since daddy was going to miss legit trick or treat, we had to go! So we got Greyson all ready & despite his unamused look, he loved being Batman!

 

 

 

He loves his pumpkin bucket & was so thrilled to carry it around. He said "Trick or treat" to everyone at the tables & was very grateful for every piece of candy.

 

 

And of course one of his showing his muscles, like daddy taught him to do before we went!

 

And in case you needed validation that toddlers are awesome, Greyson & his little friend Hunter who joined us rocked out when we were all done & got a little crazy with their muscle showing!

 

He kept up his "trick or treat" saying skills & was so polite with his "Thank you... Hap'a Hal'weeeen!" once leaving every house. And he felt the need to check out his loot after every single house. It took a lot for me to get him to leave each house, but the promise of more trick or treat worked!

So the moment we've been waiting to share is finally here with adorable pictures!

It's a Girl! Yep, baby Greathouse #2 is a girl! Found out at my appointment on Tuesday & anxiously had to keep the secret until I could tell Greg since he wasn't able to make the appointment with me. That didn't stop me from buying an adorable set of onesies at Target upon leaving the doctor's office!

So happy she cooperated this time around! I have had a feeling for awhile, as have Greg & many family members! It hasn't quite set in yet I don't think! I am beyond excited, but all I've known is little boys recently so it's almost weird to know for sure that this little one is a girl & things are going to be so crazy!

She doesn't yet have a name! We have a list in progress of ones we like, but decided not to work too hard narrowing down until we found out. So now we have our work cut out for her! I do know, we won't be sharing the name until little miss is born! So stay tuned!
 

 Whoa buddy! 23 weeks already! The last few have flown by fairly quickly along with the whole month of October! Crazy to think it's almost 3rd trimester time!
