My mom sent this video to me this week, and I've been thinking a lot about it.
What are you thankful for?

Bits and Pieces
For all of you who feel like you haven't seen enough of Sarah, here it is.
1 week old:
Yep, she's a little bird:
Chubby now with a hint of a smile:
Awesome picture where I prove that I don't know how to use Steve's camera:
With her new cousin. Notice how HUGE Sarah's head looks. That's how we make them, folks. Short, chubby, with humongous heads.
Lindsay is fabulous wearing my lipstick:
We try to find colored leaves, but all we can find on our nature walk is a couple of green and brown leaves.
My girls looking fancy:
Super fun time playing in the leaves:
Is that a giant purple dinosaur I see? Allison's school project:
Steve has been all over the country this month. Here he proves that he can travel from sea to shining sea in a matter of a week:
Washington DC
San Diego, CA
Allison went to the best party ever and came home looking like this:
And now, the moment you've all been waiting for. I give you, Halloween.
A witch and a bunny:
Fancy Nancy and her friend Piggy:
Two ladybugs and a Fancy Nancy:
Can you tell we had a "spook"tacular time?
Sarah was glad just to survive the night:

September
Quick update with pictures:
Nice shorts.
The three musketeers:
A rare happy moment:
The first day of pre-school:
Favorite purple dress:
A baby blessing:
Genetic testing for the midget:
(Result is she's fine. She's small.)
Oktoberfest. It was awesome. And we were the only ones not carrying around a mug of beer--I can only imagine how much fun it would have been if we were drunk.
Allison and Lindsay build an ark. We're still waiting for that flood:

Introducing . . .
Sarah Gammon
Baby Sarah was born on August 10, 2009 at 10:40 am. She was 6 lbs and 18 inches long.
Everyone loves her lots (even Lindsay).
Sarah is a good sleeper.
Allison and Lindsay made this amazing poster for the birthday party we had for the baby.
We had lots of fun with Grandma and Aunt Tricia while they were here. They were lifesavers!
Allison is very eager to help with the baby. Sometimes a little TOO eager.
And she is getting better at holding the baby.
Steve is dealing with the abundance of estrogen quite well. He is the BEST dad.
In fact he is such a good dad that he took Allie and Lindsay to the zoo for his work party. The girls loved it!
Really, Lindsay had a good time.
Really. I promise.
At least Allison was happy.

A New Addition, the Lack of a New Addition, and the SWAT Team in My Flower Beds
Okay, so here is what's up with us. Sorry that there aren't any pictures.
1. We bought a van. Steve's car decided it was done. I can't say I was disappointed, the car was a health hazard. Our friend found us a great deal on a 2001 Honda Odyssey and so now we are the proud owners of a minivan. Nothing says hip and young like a minivan, right?
2. Yep, I'm still pregnant. We should have the child by next week at the latest. I'm hoping for sooner. Tuesday sounds good doesn't it? Tuesdays are good days to have babies I think. Tuesday we'll have a grandma here to help out with the other little varmints. We're still open for suggestions on names for varmint #3, so if you have any. . .
3. The kids love their new room. I've just got to finish the binding on Allison's quilt and then I'll post some pictures.
4. Potty training was NOT successful. We had some days when I thought we might pull it off, but in the end it didn't happen. We'll try again in a few months.
5. Last week was quite the adventure. In addition to losing a car, finding a car, and planning a party at our house, last Wednesday I looked out the window and what did I see? The SWAT team standing on my lawn. Our neighbor apparently was threatening to commit suicide and had a weapon. At one point we heard a loud boom and we thought he shot himself or someone else. (I guess the SWAT team uses some kind of distraction smoke bomb thingy to disorient people before breaking down doors--just a little FYI, in case the SWAT team ever comes to your house.) The neighbor and his family were okay, and he is currently getting treatment, but it was weird there for a while.
6. Things have really calmed down around here. We're all doing well and will try to update again in the next two weeks.

Delayed Vacation Pictures and Updates
So, it's a no go on the dance recital video. Why? Because I'm too lazy to get it from Rachel's camera.
Here is our super fun vacation to Carolina Beach, NC.
It was pretty chilly when we got there so we went to the aquarium to check out the fishies.
Steve and Allison practiced their "best" pirate faces.
Then Steve got eaten by a crocodile.
We went to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina just so we could say we've been to South Carolina.
We had fun at Carolina Beach with the kids. Lindsay loved splashing in the water as long as it didn't cover her knees.
Our nephew Harry had fun in the sand.
Some of us tried boogie boarding. Even Allison tried it once and managed to ride a wave all the way in. Woohoo! Good times.
We saw a really big ship.
Then we knew it was time to come home.
Updates on the family:
Steve: Applying for trauma ortho fellowships. Will start interviewing in the fall. Recently won an award for resident teaching. (Atta boy, Steve.) Enjoying mowing the lawn.
Jamie: Nesting and creating new projects that she probably won't finish. Has 5 weeks of pregnancy or less. Woohoo! Feels like a beached whale most of the time.
Allison: Starting to sound out words. Loves creating "cards" and interesting art projects for her friends. Really wants to play soccer this fall and is excited for school. Loves to help me water the plants and wants to run through the sprinkler every day.
Lindsay: Potty training. Moved to a big girl bed. NEVER stops talking. Still a midget. Wants to do everything big sister wants to do. Is so much fun when she's in a good mood.

Dancing Queen
Here's a little something for my mom on her birthday:
We went on a tour of a bagel bakery a few weeks ago. We LOVED eating bagels and pitas fresh from the bakery. Here are my girls sporting the trendy hats.
Next came Allison's dance recital. Here are a few shots before the recital--note the super slick hair.
The recital was pretty hilarious. I was watching the poorly shot video the other day with Allison, and she asked me why everyone was laughing. I told her she was just so cute we just had to giggle.
Our video turned out horrible. Rachel and Jesse took some video too. I'll try to add it later this week.
Steve was so proud of his little girl. It's a good thing he had fun. I imagine it will get a little old after 3 girls.
Coming soon:
Rock stars at the beach.
