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!

Meet me in St. Louie









This past weekend we went to St. Louis to visit with friends. One of my really good friends, Nancy, from grad school is getting married in May and I asked if she wanted me to help her dress shop. Of course, she didn't turn my invitation down so we spent a good deal of time on Saturday watching her try on dresses. She looked beautiful in any of them and I think she found that special one! We are very excited for her big day, it's been a long time coming!




We also got to take Lil' Ron to the zoo. I don't know who was more excited, Little Ron or Big Ron!! This time around his was really taking in his surroundings and we all had a good time. We stayed almost four hours and saw the entire zoo! We were bushed when we got back to the hotel, which was very nice by the way, and passed out early. In the morning, we awoke to Lil' Ron jumping on our heads and giving us kisses. That is quite possibly the best way to wake up!!
We finished out our Labor Day weekend by heading to Uncle Dan's pool. It was a hot day and a lot of fun. All of the little kids wanted to play with the Rons. Daddy even let him jump from the diving board. Thank goodness Daddy used to give swim lessons to the kiddies. I'm way too nervous to do anything like that. Lil' Ron loved it and I think will be a pool rat!
