Father: fine, thanks

Oakwood Fall Family Festival

Our town had their annual scarecrow competition and family festival yesterday--always one of Mackensie's favorite days of the year. This was the first year that Ben was big enough to participate in most of the activities, and as you can see below, he made the most of it. It was probably the last big thing we'll do before we become a family of four. Any day now...

We had a 3D ultrasound of the girl this morning. She was content to bury her head in the placenta most of the time, so we didn't get to see much. We'll try again for a better look next week.
