The Highland Family Retreat was a blast, as usual. This was our third time to go. We only took Kaitlyn - Cora had fun hanging out with Mamaw and Pappy for the weekend.
This picture cracks me up. James is just trying to keep us from flipping over, Kaitlyn is crying because she just smashed her fingers, and I really have no idea what I'm doing.
Kaitlyn and a few of her buddies.
This is just a random picture of Cora that I thought was cute.
Only in Abilene does Santa come in on a helicopter. Kaitlyn and her friend Lucy loved going to the mall to watch him land.
Raking leaves in the yard....
Cora... just excited that she didn't have to help this year. She just sat in her exersaucer and ate crackers.
Happy Thanksgiving! We enjoyed a long visit in the Metroplex. We were able to see most of our entire family.Our first stop was Grandpa and Grandmere's house. Here's Kaitlyn and I painting Christmas ornaments. Quite possibly the cheesiest picture of me I've ever seen.

A fun picture of the girls...

We also made a stop in Ft. Worth where Kaitlyn got to see her cousins, Abby and Anna Lea.
There are SO many more pictures, I'll have to post a Part 2 to my update. The past few days we have had pajama day at school, play dates with friends, decorated our Christmas tree, and put the outside lights on the house. I'm so excited that it is almost December!
Another exciting piece of news is we finally decided on a name for the baby. (James just never came around to liking Chandler) Her name will be Claire Elizabeth. I'm so glad to finally have one chosen. Thanks to my doctor who likes to have a plan as much as I do, it looks like we will induce on January 14th!! Not too much longer!
More to come......

Such cute pictures! Santa arriving in a helicopter cracks me up. At one of our local attractions, Santa parachuted in. Santa is getting mighty adventuresome these days! I love the name Claire!
Hi, Leslie. I just wanted to post and tell you that next time, when I'm as pregnant as you, I hope that I look as beautiful as you do. How can you look so skinny? I know you think that picture of you is cheesy, but I think you really look beautiful and I just wanted to tell you. We love the name Claire Elizabeth and pray God's richest blessings on you all in the next few weeks!
Love,
Jess
I really like the name Claire. One I've considered for our 3rd if it's a girl.
