Pumpkins

Last Sunday night Josh and I carved pumpkins with Elaine. We got outside and it looked like rain, so we carved in the garage. Next thing we knew the sun was shining and then it thundered and then lightning , then hail and snow!! What a weird night. Even though we had great family time carving pumpkins!! Lainey took a couple bites of the goo, and then ate some seeds. After pumpkins I took lainey inside and we made homemade pizza and roasted the seeds. Elaine put on her apron and helped me cook!! she was so cute. What a fun evening.

On Monday and Tuesday Josh and I headed out to Detroit to meet and see the places/people he will be working with, and to find a house to rent. Josh sure has his work cut out for him, but it was a fun day to meet everyone. On Tuesday we went house hunting. We went through ten houses with two possibilites. Today we found out the one we both really liked and wanted, was no longer available apparently someone called on it before us. It was the dream place to rent, and we were really excited about it. IT was an old house downtown south lyon, in our price range, remodeld and almost 3000 sq feet. So its on to choice number two.. a smaller ranch with no basement or storage, but it was nice and remodeld nicely and clean. so hopefully we will hear about this one soon. There was not much to choose from. Well that is our update for now, we will keep you posted.

Troast Family Up date

Sorry it has been so long, life has been busy and every chance to blog turns into something eles. We have been busy over the last month or so.

* labor day weekend we spent time as a family and hung out with friends. It was warm so Lainey and norman went swimming in the pool.. at one point they were both in the pool together.

* we picked a few grapes off the vines on our land

* I have had a couple doctors appointments already. We are almost 15 weeks pregnant. things are going fine so far. blood pressure is fine and I feel better than i did with lainey. We have to meet with the doctors and perientologist(spelling?) in November for a check up and an ultra sound. Hopefully we can find out what we are having. Im so anxious for that!! I dont feel as big as i did with lainey, which i guess could be good in the long run.

* At the end of september lainey had a NICU reunion In Grand Rapids. we only knew a few people there but she had fun. there was a fire truck, and an ambulance that she was able to go through. It was a tiring day,but fun!!

* Josh was in New York for work. He was able to go to a Yankee's game, have lunch with Grandma and Grandpa T and had dinner with his cousins. I stayed home and spent my birthday alone with out josh( my family made up for his absense, I got to eat out alot that week) thanks everyone!!

* This past week we celebrated our 3rd wedding aniversary,WOW time flies!!!

* Thursday night friends of ours from small group called and said that spring lake was having their fire saftey open house. We went with them and had so much fun!! The kids were able to tour fire trucks, cop cars, ambulance's, and boats. There were many saftey booths set up inside and free popcorn, hot dogs, chips and pop!! What a fun night. To top it off we all went on a fire truck ride!! Lainey loved every second. it was dark out so when the lights flashed it looked really cool. she was so excited!!

* We went to the pumpkin patch the first weekend in October. Some of josh's friends were there and we all ended up hanging out. Lainey made new friends. then we all went to Arbys for lunch.
