Happy Halloween!!

I'm so excited for Halloween!!! Not only is this my favorite holiday but it's rainy and gloomy out and I'm overjoyed!! I'm totally one of those people that LOVES rain and clouds and generally gloomy days... Everything just feels so much cozier and it's fun to listen to the rain hit the car or the porch while all wrapped up in sweaters and blankets... Oh yeah, and it helps with that whole hot body thing that I've had going on this entire pregnancy... This is the 1st day in a long time where I don't feel like I'm going to pass out from the heat! Anyway... Lukey Duke woke up all excited this morning because we've been prepping him for wearing his costume tonight. He can't wait to be able to run up to Grandma and Grandpa's house in his batman suit with his groovy new batman flashlight that Grandpa gave him last night. Matt and I have agreed that he's allowed to go to 3 houses on our block for his first venture into trick-or-treating... I'll probably take too many pictures tonight like I usually do, so be for warned! Have a great, safe Halloween!!

Growing a circus performer...

So,little miss Brooklyn has fully changed positions about 3 times this morning! From Head down to side-to-side to head up all in the span of a few hours... She is either partying like a rock star in there or just can't seem to get comfortable! Either way, it's super uncomfortable... Anyway, enough whining... I ordered some super cute clothes for both Duke and Brookie and they finally arrived today... It is just way to much fun to buy tiny little clothes for tiny little ones. I found Luke a sweatshirt that says "Brooklyn" across the front of it and got a bunch of cute Halloween stuff for Brookie for next year for three or four bucks a piece... I love Old Nav.y's clothes so much!! They are super cute, cheap and sturdy... Can't get better than that!





I'm really looking forward to snapping a few pictures of Capt. Duke in his awesome Batman costume tomorrow as he makes his first venture into trick-or-treating. We're only going to let him go to Aunt Melanie, Grandma & Grandpa's, and 2 houses in our neighborhood, but he should still have a blast. I'll post the pictures as soon as I get them uploaded...

Luvs!

First Inaugural Blog Posting...

So I thought it only appropriate that I create a place to share my thoughts (aka. PICTURES!) and everyday life with my beautiful babies. It still feels so weird to say that out loud. I can't believe that we're going to have a second child, and so soon! This pregnancy has flown by so quickly that I haven't really had much time to dwell on the fact that I'm going to be a mommy of two in less than three months! I'm so excited to meet Brooklyn but at the same time I have this nagging sadness that I only have a few more months left of just Captain Duke, Matt & I. He's such an amazing, loving little boy and I only hope that, as everyone always says, our hearts and our love expand to include Brooklyn, taking nothing from our relationship with the Duke.

Everyday I seem to get caught up in these tiny moments of pure Luke... He'll run up to me out of the blue and give me a huge hug and look so deep into my eyes... It's amazing how innocent they are... Anyway, I'm having an emotional preggo mommy moment, but I really hope that he adjusts well to having a little sister... And I hope you enjoy the chronicles of life with the Dobbers...


And for your viewing pleasure... A few pics of Capt. Duke and the Fam...
