33 Weeks and Christmas decorations!!

I am now 33 weeks pregnant. Here's the picture:

We also put our crib together. And I've been painting a dresser we bought on craigslist---so final pictures of baby room will be soon :)

And we put up our Christmas tree and decorations and took a family photo:

Thanksgiving

First of all, Dave and I are so grateful for all we have. We have wonderful family and friends and have been given many great opportunities this year. We are most especially thankful for the gospel in our lives and to be members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints---and grateful for the atonement of the Savior, Jesus Christ. We would be not be as happy and enjoy life as much without this knowledge.

For Thanksgiving our Bishop and his wife invited us and a couple others from the ward over to celebrate with them. It was an amazing feast and we're so grateful for their hospitality and kindness. Here are some pictures to highlight the day :)

The bishop cutting the turkey---yum yum!

The feast begins!!

Dave took most of the pictures, but this one. So here's Dave! Love him so much!!

Juliana's Visit

Dave's sister Juliana came out for a couple days for a job interview. So we didn't have a lot of time. But we took her to Harvard Square, Mount Auburn Cemetary and to Bunker Hill. Here are some pictures from the weekend. It was so fun having her here!!

Juliana and Dave at the Bunker Hill Monument.

Juliana, Dave and Liz at the top of the monument. Yes, I walked all 294 steps! I took it slow though and met them at the top :)

To prove we made it, or at least Juliana made it---and either Dave or I took the picture :)  We all made it, I promise.

I look weird in this picture---but Juliana looks pretty and so do the pretty fall leaves :)

Juliana at Regina's Pizzeria. So yummy!!

Glad you could visit us Juliana!!!!!

30 Weeks!

I'm am now 75% of the way through the pregnancy!! Thirty weeks! I've definitely gone through a growth spurt---or Marcus has :)  So here is the very unflattering picture to prove it. Everything is going well so far and we're excited to meet Marcus in a couple months--time is flying!!

Amber & Sarah's Visit!!

My good friends Amber and Sarah were able to come out and visit for a couple days!! It was great having them here. We were able to go to the Boston Temple, walk the Freedom Trail in Boston, drive down to Plymouth and see some cool cemeteries and Harvard campus/Harvard Square. They also went to tour Fenway Park (go Red Sox!!).

So here are some pictures from the weekend, enjoy!!

After seeing the Mayflower replica and Plymouth Rock we ate some clam chowder at Cabbyshack. Amber loved it :)
