The Portteus Family Blog: Preparing for baby...

Not much going on here besides patiently waiting (well, waiting anyways), for the newest member of our family to arrive. Just over 4 weeks until my due date and we cannot wait to meet him! Alex continues to learn new things and grow like a weed. We have been enjoying visiting with family and playing with friends over the past few weeks. Alex is getting excited to teach his baby brother how to "play ball". We are slowly but surely finishing all of the little projects we want to finish before baby arrives, but we are at least ready if he comes soon! We have most of the living room put together, including hanging my beautiful print Kevin got me in D.C. this summer. It looks great! Our new dining room table will arrive soon and we cannot wait to begin entertaining with a table where we don't have to all squeeze in. Fall is here and Halloween is right around the corner, which means Alex has a pumpkin that he just loves! He had to pick out a huge one of course. But, he picked a nice one for baby brother too. He is also ready to get candy trick-or-treating. He is going to be a tiger as long as he doesn't grow too much over the next couple of weeks. We will also be celebrating Kevin's 30th birthday in just under two weeks. Hopefully we will have a new baby around that time to celebrate! This may be the last time I post before the new baby arrives, so enjoy a few random pictures from the last week or so.
