At long last...

Here you go folks... pictures of the newest Boyd!

Her foot.
Her profile.
Looking at her head on. Skull/eye sockets.
Proof she's a SHE.

In other news... not much has been going on! Jack's good buddy Emily was in town last week and we had such a great time getting to play with her several times while she was here! That has about been it for our excitement! Jack's really looking forward to Thanksgiving this year and can't wait for Thursday! I think mainly because we told him AFTER Thanksgiving we get to make Christmas cookies and put up our decorations, but.... enjoy some pictures of what he's been up to lately!
Think he'll think this is fun when he's 13??
Sharing nicely with Emily!
Such cuties!!

Happy Thanksgiving - check back next week for more updates!

It's A....

Girl!!!

Yes, yes - Jack's going to have a little sister! Although from the look of things, possibly not so little - she's already in the 80th percentile for length so our dr. is predicting another tall skinny Boyd! Everything checked out great at our appt. last week and we're thrilled that we're having a little girl!

Yes, yes - that's the Pillsbury Dough Boy in the picture... sorry we couldn't resist!! We DO have some pictures of the newest Boyd, but have had a little trouble scanning them so hopefully this weekend we'll get to Nan's to use her super-duper scanner and get them on next week! For now, enjoy a good laugh!

In Jack news - not much to report. We've recovered from our colds and have been keeping busy - we took Jack to the Peanut Butter and Jelly Series put on by the local philharmonic this weekend and he LOVED it! He has decided that the violin is his favorite and had such a great time getting to explore all the instruments and listen to the different types of music they played! It was a wonderful morning!

Jack playing the violin!
Enjoying breakfast in bunny ears of course!
Getting some tips on the violin!
Getting the hang of it!
Enjoying the music!

Check back next week when hopefully I'll have some pics of the newest Boyd up!

Trick or Treat!!

Jack had a fantastic Halloween!! Here are some pictures and a video of how he celebrated the big day! There are a LOT of pictures... I probably should have uploaded these to the photosite, but - this was easier! Enjoy!!

Jack had such a good time this Halloween! We stayed out the entire two hours trick or treating and he was so brave going up to all the houses by himself and very loudly saying TRICK OR TREAT and THANK YOU!! He got so much loot his bag got too heavy for him to carry!

Check back next week for the latest updates on #2!
