We're keeping busy around here. Just enjoying some down time before the rush of the holidays (and baby).
The girls insisted on helping dad hang up all the pictures, etc. Cyrena is wearing part of her Halloween costume here.
She was not to be left out of the measuring and such
Natalie has really developed a love of puzzles! It makes me happy to see her succeed and say "did it mom!"
A princess' life is so hard...dressing up, attending balls, and taking care of the babies
And she manages to look beautiful through it all
We went on a little family field trip to the Riparian Reserve--a cool plant/wildlife reserve in Gilbert, right next to the library. There are several unique species of plants and birds that are not necessarily native to Arizona but frequent the area. It was really fun to hike all around (it's big) and spot some neat-looking birds and just spend time outdoors. 
I was really sore from all the walking. I told David we are going to come here when I am 38 weeks and just walk and walk and walk. I'll be 38 weeks on Christmas Eve. :) That's just 8 weeks and 2 days away!
Cyrena made sure to bring her binoculars
There were also some fun grassy areas with walls to walk along
This is Natalie's current favorite book, Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you See? She loves the pattern and always wants to read it or have it read to her.
And last but not least, we took the side off Natalie's crib a couple of weeks ago. I was TERRIFIED to put it lightly. But she'd been climbing in it lately for fun and we worried she would injure herself. So David convinced me to see how it would go without the side on. I'm happy to report she's doing fabulous! We are just in shock. Of course she has started testing us just a little bit but for the most part, she loves it and listens to us. I think it helps that she shares a room. Our experience with Cyrena was pretty awful so this is like a dream come true. What a big girl!

Your girls are so cute! I'm so glad things are going so well for you in Gilbert! I can't believe how close you are to having baby #3, everyone else's pregnancies seem to go by so fast! :)

yah! pictures of your new little life! love it. you're girls are really beautiful. they look like little model babies. :) glad to see life is well!!!
miss you guys!
awww she is so stinkin' cute!
At first I thought Cyrena and David were taking out all the random thumb tacks in your walls. Glad Natalie is doing so well in her bed! I can't believe you went walking at all. I cannot walk when pregnant.
Can't believe you only have 8 weeks... hang in there! Sounds like things are going well in your new place. :)
Fun update!!! Natalie reminds me so much of Claire-- she is obsessed with puzzles too, and when she's finished she yells out, "mama, I did it!" Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy!!!
