20 weeks and getting bigger by the day!

That's right folks, I am halfway there! We had our ultrasound on Oct. 9 and nope, we didn't find out if it was a boy or girl! We can't wait for the surprise. Ron even tried to look when the nurse told us to turn our heads and still couldn't see so it was meant to be. We finally met our new doctor, Dr. Shepherd and he is going to be a riot! Little Ron came with us and actually let Dr. Shepherd hold him. We were pretty shocked! The baby is very healthy and is measuring perfectly for my due date!

Our trips to the park!

One thing that's nice about where we live is that there is a huge park a few blocks away. When the weather is nice, we like to venture over and let Little Ron play with all the kids. Of course he goes for the 11/12 year olds and thinks he can do whatever they do but he always has fun! Unfortunately, the weather is starting to turn cold and we won't get to visit it as much but we always have next spring/summer to look forward to. There is also a huge hill right behind us where we hear people sled so Big Ron is very excited!

House Pics!

Okay, I know I have been bad! Here's the pics of the house before we unpacked all of our stuff. It definitely doesn't look like this anymore! If you want to see it decorated, I guess you will have to come to our Housewarming Party. We are having it the second or third weekend in November so be looking for your invites! For those far away (like in Holland or Georgia), we will definitely post pics after so you can see too!! The first picture shows rain spots on the camera, unfortunately I didn't have a picture with the front of the house and with the sod in so I picked a rainy day to take a pic! Our living room is next, and yes, the carpet is down. The next pic is our laundry/mud room (has some lockers for storage) followed by a pic of Little Ron's and the new baby's bathroom. Our kitchen is next (minus the blue paper on the countertops but with our appliances :) and a pic of our dining room is last. We just ordered blinds for some of the windows (boy, those are expensive) and a pillow seat for our bay window which I am happiest about! Hopefully it's all here in time for the party!

Belly Pic at 14 weeks

So, this was before we moved and I promised my sis I would take a pic and put it on the blog. I almost forgot but here it is! You can see that I am way past this point in the last blog. I am definitely sticking way out!

At the Pumpkin Patch...Again :)

So, here are more pics of our trip to the patches of pumpkins at Curtis Orchard. It was huge but we had to walk all the way to end, I guess it's the end of pumpkin picking season. I guess next year we'll have to go earlier :) And of course, we got some of the BEST apple donuts you will ever taste! We even got them right out of the oven. Lil' Ron and I couldn't wait so we gobbled one down in the car! Oh yeah, my son has no hair again!! Big Ron clipped it all off!!! It took a while to get used to but he is still my cute little buddy!

More Pictures of Little Ron

We know you can't get enough pics of our little guy smiling (and either can we), so enjoy!

Our First Trip to Curtis Orchard!

As you can see in picture #2, Little Ron was not too happy with Daddy! Ron thought he might ride on the pony and I knew that he wouldn't. He clung to daddy so tightly. Ron was upset, although I think he secretly wanted to ride the pony! They had a maze, obstacle course, munchkin land, wagon rides, and of course, really good food! Oh and pumpkins and apples. We didn't make it that far though. It was pretty hot and the place was packed. We are hoping to go back at the end of this week and pick some apples for Grandma and to finally get a pumpkin for Little Ron! I think this is the first of several trips to the Orchard! Champaign really does have a lot to do!

Homecoming 2008!

That's right! Little Ron made his second appearance at the Mavros' house this year for Homecoming. Little Ron and I went to Bloomington for lunch with Katie, Tara, Kristy and Gena and also made a stop at the Shirk Center to meet up with Coach Shoe and the track team. I guess I still can't get enough :) We both had a really good time and wish we could have stayed with everyone longer. By the time we got in the car, Little Ron passed out and I wished I could have slept with him!! It's hard to believe that next year will be my 5 year reunion from IWU. My, how things have changed!!

Washing the Car!

Before we left the old house, the Rons' decided to wash my car (thank goodness!). As you can see, Lil' Ron got really into it and was soaked by the end!
