Baby Bellies

Owen and Daddy thought it was funny to put O's soccer ball inside his pj's. We couldn't resist taking some pictures. Enjoy! :)

29 Weeks!!

It is hard to believe I am already 29 weeks pregnant with our little girl. Some days it feels like the next 11 weeks will fly by and some days it feels like soooo far away. She moves a lot and so far everything has been healthy with this pregnancy. Every day I find myself more excited to meet her. Brian and I took a 29 week picture and as we were looking over the picture we heard this little voice saying "cheese". We looked over and Owen was holding the 29 week sign trying to get us to take his picture. He often gets confused and tells me that he has a baby in his belly. :)
This past weekend I got to hang out with two of my dear friends, Abby and Liz, who are both pregnant with little girls. They were in town for a beautiful baby shower that Abby's mother threw for her. It was so fun to spend time with them. We took a picture to capture all of us in our pregnant state. Lookout boys.....the little girls are about to outnumber you! ;)

Christmas 2010

Now that all the presents are unwrapped and all of the decorations have come down we're ready to sit down and blog about Christmas. This year we were in NJ along with 10 other McHughs, 3 Hodges, 2 Pacellis, and 1 Soon-To-Be-McHugh. The living quarters were tight, nap time and bed time were delicate operations, but in the end everyone survived and boy did the kids have fun together!!! We had the pleasure of meeting our beautiful niece Maggie for the first time, and Owen couldn't resist hugging and kissing her. A good sign for his soon-to-be little sister. Here are some highlights.

Gram bought the kids all matching outfits, but they couldn't quite keep it together for one good photograph.



By far the biggest highlight of Christmas day for Owen was his new play kitchen. It wasn't even a minute before he was pouring coffee, frying eggs, and baking in the oven!!! (Obviously all things he sees his mommy doing at home).



It brought us such joy to watch Owen spending so much time with his extended family. At this point he has mastered almost everyone's name, but its Aunt Amy who has captured his heart like no one else!





We hope that celebrating the birth of our Savior meant as much to you as it did to us, and that the first couple weeks of your New Year have gotten off to a blessed start.

Fall 2010 in Review

So, what to do when you haven't posted in nearly 2 months? Well, I figure just post a bunch of pictures, because that's really the best part, right? (Note: Owen's growing quite a healthy self-confidence in his physique as displayed in the last 2 photos)
