Waiting...

As of this moment, we're still waiting for the newest member of the family to make an appearance.  Here are a few pictures to pass the time...

Walking in Daddy's boots. 

The first snow of the season.  Daddy took Dassah out to play while Mommy slept in a little.

Throwing snow on the sidewalk

Holding a snowball.

Snow is cold!  Daddy found her some gloves.

Our house in the snow.

Our last gladiolus in the snow.

 While waiting for baby Obadiah, I've been keeping myself busy with crochet.

Rista Cat died two weeks ago, so I made this cat.  Dassah loves having a cat she can actually pick up and carry around.

A little hat.

A blanket with sleeves to cover Obadiah in the car.  It should be big enough to last all winter.

Elf hats are popular photo props for newborns.  Beside it is a matching diaper cover.

 Just a few cute pictures of Dassah from Mommy's belly photo shoot a couple weeks ago.

Maternity Photos~38 weeks

We took these photos on September 24th, I've just been slow about putting them on the blog.

Hadassah!

I haven't gotten around to posting pictures in a while, sorry!

I made Dassah some home made playdough.  She really enjoys poking it and shredding it.

"Sun bright!"

Playing ball

Her friend was chasing her, but when I told her to turn around and chase him, he started pouting. 

Dominoes!  Dassah stood them up like this herself.

A sucker!  Dassah insisted on her jacket even though it was too warm to wear it.

I gave Dassah her first haircut a month ago (just the bangs).  Here is the before picture.

After the haircut.

I made a baby dress for Becky's baby.

I made a scarf that Dassah claimed.  Mostly I was trying to find something to do with some yarn I've had forever.

The scarf was made with self striping yarn, and I crocheted in some bobbles .  I tried to take a picture that showed the bobbles...

Hadassah loves to color.

Dassah put a pillow on top the cat and thought it hilarious.  Rista was not amused.

I made a toy net to get some of Dassah's stuffed animals off the floor.

We heard a strange sound one day and discovered a steam engine stopped on the tracks right outside Dassah's bedroom window.  We had to go out to see it.  Several other people from town came out, too.

Apparently it was a scheduled event.  Dassah panicked though when it blew the whistle as it prepared to leave.  It was LOUD!

I crocheted a fireman hat and boots to use as photo props when baby gets here.

I also crocheted a diaper bag that is bigger than the one I currently have.

A close-up of some of the pansies on the bag!

Look!  I lined it!

I made peanut butter sandwiches for lunch a couple days ago and since I emptied the peanut butter, I gave it to Dassah to clean out.  My mistake was giving it to her before she finished her sandwich.

Very intent on getting the last bit of peanut butter.
