...Still Waiting




So what have we been up to?

Well we're still waiting for our newest little Harrington to arrive...4 days until D-Day but who's counting right? Well aside from the obvious we're just trying to keep our normal schedule around here. Arseny is adding to his vocabulary. Today he said his first "name" (of someone else other than MAMA) He has a friend we often spend a lot of time with who's just a little older than him and just absolutely adores--his name is Asher and today we went and played with Asher and he kept saying it in the car---very cute! Arseny has also been very curious about cats and dogs lately...funny today we went on a walk and a neighborhood cat followed us 4 blocks home and he thought is was the greatest thing. Then later this morning we went to the coffee shop and met up with Asher and they played ball with the next door winery's dog who would fetch the ball and then drop it at their feet. He was in hog (or shall I say dog) heaven....cats and dogs galore today!

Matthew is working away busy with his job...I'm just hanging in there trying to prepare for our little girl and we're all looking forward to the holiday and Nativity season. I'm sure we'll have more pictures than ever to share once we meet our little girl. For now here is a pic of Matthew and Arseny going on their evening run (Matt and Arseny go on a jog after Matt gets home from work) and of course Arseny rides in the Jogger "Arseny's bike" and then the other picture is just one of me 9 months along---we realized that we didn't really take any pictures of me pregnant this time around so we snapped a few.

My Little Pumpkin






We went to the Pumpkin patch recently. It's a fun Fall outing! Klickers here in Walla Walla always has great holiday and seasonal set ups for families. You can go and get your Pumpkin in the fall, they have wagons for hauling and a huge hay bale mountain with a slide down it for the kids to play on. During Christmas time there are of course trees to choose from and actual Reindeer out at the farm there.

So at the patch Arseny and Matt of course went down the slide and climbed on the hay bales and then explored the Pumpkins. Afterward we went and got Hot Chocolate downtown as a treat. It was a lot of fun! Here are some pictures of our outing.
