Halloween

For Halloween this year, Brielle was Ariel (her favorite princess), Hyrum was a cowboy, and Clara was Snow White (her favorite princess).

 Clara LOVED trick-or-treating!  But she slowed down the process because she wanted to stay and socialize at every house.

It usually went something like this:

Clara: "Trick or treat!  Oooh, look Mom, a sucker!  Wow, you have a cat.  I like cats.  Oooh, look your pumpkin is a ghost.  Look you have a picture, I have one too, only mine is different.  I like your plant, I'm Snow White, she dies, only then she comes back to life, but the prince had to kiss her.  We're leaving now, hey look!  A snail!!  Oh bye!  Thanks for the candy!"

 When we got home Clara was worn out, and didn't wake up for pictures, so this is all we have.

Brielle and Hyrum loved trick or treating too, they wanted to hurry door to door to get the most possible candy!!  Nephi stayed home and barked at strangers.

More bunnies

In September we had two litters of bunnies born.  Violet had 4 babies, the "E" litter.

 Elm, Edelweiss, Eucalyptus, Elderberry

 Ebony had a litter of 3 bunnies the week before.  The "D" litter.

 Dahlia, Daisy, and Dragon  

(all the bunnies born at our rabbitry are named after plants)

The "D" litter all grown up. 

More Soccer

 Hyrum is #5.  And apparently it was very difficult for Russ to get a clear shot of him!  Little boys move around fast I guess!

Clara "watching" the game.  This was an especially cold day.

Still kickin'

I've made it 13 weeks in this pregnancy and the baby is still alive!!  At my doctor's appointment, the heartbeat was nice and normal, and everything appears fine.

I was really worried about that appointment, because the times that I have miscarried in the past, the baby always died between the 10th-14th week.  At week 9 my babies would have strong heartbeats, and an ultrasound would show them moving around, with perfectly normal development.  And then for some reason, in the few weeks after that the babies would just die.

So we're very happy to have everything still looking good at 13 weeks!

My doctor also increased one medication and added another, so perhaps I'll begin to feel better, or at least have a few moments where I'm not nauseous.  Here's hoping!
