24 weeks

It is hard to beleive that I'm 24 weeks along already, it is going so much faster this time :) I feel about twice as big as I look, scary.

Due Date Change

My due date has officially changed to March 14 . . . I am still over half way and feeling very good!
Recently I was trying to download our pictures from the camera to order prints so that I can attempt to catch up on scrapbooking before March . . . but the computer could not read the disc in the camera or the disc in the printer. SO, I was very frustrated and panicky, but we found free software on line that recovered our pictures for us! YEAH! I was so happy that we didn't lose months worth of pictures. Now I have 100's of pictures to put into scrapbooks, but at least I don't have 100's of memories with not printed proof :)
We are planning to head to Iowa for Thanksgiving with the Buys side of the family. Since MI has already seen some snow, we are hoping for clear roads while travelling!! I'm also hoping my parents will have their Internet working by then so that I can update from there with a couple of pictures.

Fun this week

Briella had fun with all the stuffed animals and dolls under her tunnel today. She was giddy with excitement, but I couldn't capture it with the camera. (After 10 failed shots this is the best one!)

She continues to walk more and more, since I can't get videos to work, I tried to get a picture of her walking. She is more and more confident and seems to enjoy it, too. She still crawls if she is in a hurry (like to catch up with me if I leave room, or to find Stephan when he gets home from work), and if she is carrying heavy things (usually books) she prefers to 'walk' on her knees to bring me the book.

Stephan took advantage of the 70 degree weather to get ride of the foot of leaves in our front yard. Today it was slightly breezy, but it appeared to be raining leaves at our place. I was surprised the scratchiness didn't bother Briella . . . (14 months old today)!
