SIDE NOTE #1:  The weeks left in the year are dwindling down and that means we are GOING TO HAVE A BABY SOON!!!  I CAN'T WAIT TO MEET HIM!!!!  He is due to be here by the time I post Week 52/52, so I hope I can end with a new family picture for that week :)!!

SIDE NOTE #2:  Baby does have a name:  Randolph Benjamin Moore, V.  Baby does not have a nickname yet.

Week 44/52

Following our disney trip, of course Caroline was a Disney princess for Halloween.  Brett and Susanna brought over Body and Anna Kate to trick-or-treat and the kids got way to much candy for a pregnant woman to have in her house!

Week 43/52

This was a special, special week because we surprised her by picking up Maggie Lee and taking them to Disney World for Caroline's 4th birthday gift.  We figured with a newborn on the way, it may be at least a couple of years before we were able to go again, and we wanted to see the magic unfold for them :).  Maggie Lee had been before and was super excited when we told her.  She went to bed saying she was "dreaming about it already" (told them the night before).  Caroline didn't quite realize what she was in for until she got there and now that she has seen the "real princesses", I don't think she will ever be the same.  It was pretty magical!  This picture was after their special "Bibbity Bobbity Boutique" trip, which happened our first day there, followed by dinner, which were both her birthday celebration part of the trip.

Week 42/52

When I walked out of Home Depot with Caroline, she ran over to this lawn mower and screamed "A JOHN DEERE!!!"  I didn't realize she knew about different brands of tractors already :).

Week 41/52

This picture is blurry, but one of my favorites from Caroline's first trip to the fair.  She and G-bug jumped in this car, with G driving his "future wife :)" around and her practicing sleeping in the passenger side (she wasn't REALLY asleep) :).  Reminds me of Ben and I :).

Week 40/52

C's Birthday week ended up with a dove shoot with Daddy and Grandaddy on Saturday.  She came home one upset and tired little girl.  She had decided that she did not want daddy to kill the birds and that she wanted to fix them and send them back to their homes.  After we put them on the grill and she and daddy had a long talk about how Jesus gave us dominion over the fish and birds and put them on earth to provide food for us, and how it was the most natural form of eating and enjoying our food, and then subsequently TRYING the doves that she went with daddy to harvest, she informed us that she was ready to go again and that this time she was going to harvest one herself.  She really liked to eat the  doves and wanted everyone to try the bird that she and daddy brought home.

Week 39/52

Caroline's 4th Birthday was October 1, 2012, which fell on a Monday.  We asked her if she would rather have a party or go to Disney World, and naturally, she chose Disney.   So, when we were in Dothan the weekend before her birthday, we had a small celebration with some of our family, and her Disney trip is up and coming in the next few weeks (which she actually doesn't know is planned).  We will break the news to she and Maggie Lee (also going) the night before.  I know 2 little girls who are going to FRIEK out!
