It's A Girl!!

These are Leah's tiny feet

John and I have unofficially done it. We have broken the great Nunley family tradition. Each member of the family, starting with Ida, has a firstborn daughter and boys to follow.

Ida and Stan- Liz, Ron, Dan, John, and Travis
Liz and Tim-Vicki
Ron and Brigette- Kaylee, Conner, and Noah
Daniel and Casey- Lilliann, and they are expecting Casen (sp?)(a boy) in January 2010.

and John and I have Ryenn and are expecting baby number two in March of 2010. We had our anatomy sonogram recently. The Tech stated that she was 97.5% sure that we were having a baby girl! Her name will be Leah, like Lee-ah, and no not the princess. (middle name is up to John)

This is what they are looking at when they decided it was a girl

Pumpkin Carving

I have been wanting to take Ryenn to the pumpkin patch to pick out a few pumpkins. I finally gave up on the idea and bought a few at Wal-Mart. I have never carved a pumpkin before (weird, yes i know). I was very worried that I would screw everything up. Last year we received a carving kit as a welcome to the neighborhood gift from a friend's mother. So we pulled it out of the closet, and we set to work. Ry decided not to help once she felt the inside of the pumpkins. She really doesn't like getting her hands sticky!! John made fun of me because I wanted to use a pattern from the book. He on the other hand made a sketch of the face and went to town. (mine certainly is beautiful)

Again...I promise pictures once I am able to upload them to my computer.

New Braunfels, TX

We had the most awesome week in New Braunfels with Bob and Mariah!!! Of course it started with an early 3:00 am road trip that lasted about 12 hours, but our little critter did it like a champ. We made very few stops, and all without whining!!

The week's highlight was our trip to Austin City Limits. We braved the excitement, humidity, and mud all with a two year old. Ryenn had a blast. Usually she is not allowed to jump in puddles or play in mud, but she had free reign on this day. The headliner was Pearl Jam, but my poor little lady was so tired from her adventurous day that she slept though it. She was trilled by the bus ride to the event, and would yell "BUS!" if we saw anything that resembled one.

Mariah and I did some shopping, and I got my first ever pedicure. We went to an awesome spa with a wall fountain. They even offered a variety of beverages. It was amazing. We took Ryenn to see her very first movie in a theater. We watched "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs." The adults found it to be funny, while Ryenn was less than amused. We were at the Alamo Drafthouse so for the first few minutes she was entertained by the movie and the food. Soon she realized that she could complain and be taken into the lobby. A bit later she discovered that the isles were connected and she could run a muck between the seats. Luckily there were only about five other people in the theater (not including our party) to witness my disgrace!

We spent the rest of our vacation laying a bit low. It was a good way to spend it. We relaxed and John got to sleep quite a bit more than he normally would. Finally the day before we left Mariah introduced me to the wonderful world of Hobby Lobby! If John hadn't been with us I may have left the store in quite a financial mess. I would have bought everything in sight. The fall and Christmas decor was absolutely charming! I did assist Mariah with the spending of her money as she was able to go into the store without her husband. (aww how i envied her)

Unfortunately, I do not have any pictures of this wonderful trip. We can't find the USB cord for our camera to upload the pictures to our computer. As soon as I do I will post to be sure!

Thank you to The Cases for the wonderful time!
