Knock Knock! Let me out!
"Your baby brother is in Mommy's belly. Right HERE (point to belly). When it's time for baby to come out, baby will go, "Knock! Knock! Let me out!" (in falsetto baby voice). Then we will go see the doctor and baby will come out to see the doctor!"
Sydney thought about it, and then decided she would role play as the baby. She started yelling (in a falsetto baby voice), "ME OUT! HELP! HELP! STUCK!"

Memorial Weekend Swim Party!
She has been loving to help Mommy plant and water in our yard. She loves when she can do things herself.
Funny face time!

House update
The house is a "split-foyer". What this means is that when you walk in there is a foyer, and you can then go either upstairs or downstairs. The downstairs section is all finished, except for the "laundry/utility room". The upper level has wood laminate floors throughout. Here are some specs on the home (mostly from the realty sheet):
3 Bedroom
3 Bathroom (2 upstairs, 1 downstairs, all full)
Great Room/Dining Room with attached Kitchen upstairs (one very large room that has all of them)
Lower level Family Room (with fireplace)
Lower level large office/extra living space, with closets and a full bathroom.
2 Car garage including some workspace
Rear Deck (exit from the dining room)
It's listed at slightly over 1200 sq. ft., but I'm unsure if that includes the basement. We love the layout, as it completely fits our lifestyle. As soon as we have more pictures of the inside, we'll post those also!

Ross House Hunt!
Well, we've hit a milestone in our search for a house to call our home: we've come to a verbal agreement on a contract. What this means is that a contract has been written, and we've come to verbal terms on modifications to make to the contract.
So, enough with the mumbo-jumbo! Here's some of the details:
Address:
24 Oakshire Ct.
St. Peters, MO 63376
Purchase Price:
had you going there, didn't I? ;)
...and, some pics.
From the street:
The kitchen:
From the rear "common area":
We'll post some other pics if/when we find some appropriate ones to add.
Needless to say, we're extremely excited, and at this point it's been an amazing experience to see The Lord move in both our hearts and the processes to make this particular house available to us.
We would appreciate your prayers as we move forward with all the formalities involved with purchasing a house. Our current contract says we will close by the end of February 2009 (extremely fast). Needless to say, that means we'll be very busy and rushed to get all the papers, etc. in place.

To cause a bit of mischief


The Scoggins' new minivan is cool, but it has the potential to become a Machine of Awesome. Please tell Amy that the above necessary modifications should be made, and perhaps the doors re-hinged Delorian-style.

Booger Beard
Sydney got it and was barfing last night, which really weirded her out. She kept shaking her head and saying 'No, no, no.' You could tell she was really grossed out. After she barfed she asked, "Bath? Bath?" which was so adorable and sad at the same time.
She is currently sitting in Daddy's lap with her blankie and milk sporting an impressive Booger Fu Man Chu.

Halloween and the Pumpkin Patch!
Benny (Sydney's cousin) and Sydney went to the Daniel's Pumpkin Patch yesterday!
The only time I got Sydney to stand still for a picture with me. She had been running and yelling around the straw maze when she tripped and fell on her face. Unfortunately she didn't think to stick her tongue back in her mouth before she hit the dirt! FYI, straw is to tongues as flies are to flypaper.
Pawpaw is trying to convince her how much fun these horsie swings are.
Kiss attack!
Halloween Day and we are practicing our trick and treat skills on the Great-Grandparents!
Her treat consisted of grapes and cheese. She was nice enough to share a grape with Pawpaw.
Pawpaw Ross gave Sydney a little ride. She didn't get into it until he started whizzing along really fast!
Papaw Ross' backyard! Pretty!

Apple Day and Hairy Eggs

Missouri is busting full of apples this time of year. We had a Apple Day over at Mom Ross' house Monday (lots of pictures here). How fun!
