Pumkin Patch Fun!

This weekend was really great! Charlie, Gwynn and I stayed home for the most part and spent some good quality family time together. It was the first weekend in a long time we had nothing to do. On Saturday we went to the pumpkin patch and it was a blast. Gwynn had a wonderful time. We went on a tractor ride and spent a good amount of time in the pumpkin patch. Gwynn had to touch all the pumpkins. She also had to knock on a couple ( like mom does at the grocery store). She also took a seat on a few pumpkins and tried to ride one like a pony. After all her shopping around she settled on a perfect medium size pumpkin. The pumpkin patch also had a neat play structure and a hay maze Gwynn ran around in. We then went to good old Red Robin for some french fries and hamburgers (one of Gwynn's favorite restaurants). When we got home Charlie was a sweetheart and took Gwynn to the park to play and let me relax with a good magazine. Charlie and Gwynn got some good Daddy daughter time in. They were gone for so long I started to worry...until they came home looking very tired and snuggled up for a nap. Then on Sunday Charlie worked around the house and I cleaned and ran errands. It was a great weekend and everyone had a great time.

little sick but happy

So..Gwynn was up a lot last night and we just thought she was being difficult. She has been changing her sleeping patterns a lot lately. This morning when she woke up she was sick. She has a runny nose and I think her throat is hurting her. She was so adorable today..I never want her to be sick but love it because she normally is to busy to cuddle most of the time...but when she is feeling under the weather she loves to cuddle. So...Gwynn and I watched Monsters Inc. she loves saying monster, monster. She also is very attached and I love that too. When Charlie came home from work she was ready to play after resting most of the day. So of course they played horse and she was laughing hysterically...and saying monster a lot which I had to translate for Charlie. She has been talking so much lately and learns a couple new words a day that I catch on to and relay to Charlie. It's so cute but sad at the same time. Gwynn in the past couple months has been growing and changing... leaps and bounds everyday. We really hope Gwynn feels better tomorrow. We want to take her to the pumpkin patch and do some fall activities this weekend. So hopefully all the rest will help. Hopefully Gwynn will be up for the pumkin patch this weekend.

MacDonald Family's first blog

Hello Everyone,

After many people requesting and asking if we have or have considered having a blog...here it goes (thanks Jessica too..she said it was so easy and it was). Charlie and I have been married for a year and eight months and we have a beautiful baby girl Gwynn who is twenty months....yes do the math. I was pregnant prior to marrying Charlie. I think it was God's way of saying don't let this one get away. I am so happy.. I didn't he is truly the best thing that has ever happened to me. He gave me Gwynn also! Absolutely nothing about Charlie and I is traditional and I like it that way. I heard someone say I wanted a marriage not a wedding and that is just what I got...some people find this so hard to believe but oh well. I am truly happy and blessed in so many ways. I have a wonderful family life and always go to bed happy. We also are expecting baby number two at the end of May. I am so happy but have to say this pregnancy has been a lot harder then Gwynn. I am just happy to be pregnant Charlie and I want two children and so Gwynn can have a play mate. I say I only want two kids now but how soon you forget what it's like to be pregnant and to give birth.
