Family update

It is has been a long time since we have posted so here is our update. Connor is still loving school and learning alot. He has now advanced to the big boy bed. The crib we bought for him converted into a toddler bed and that is what he has been sleeping in. With baby number two arriving in January we decided to get his new bed now. He loves it. It was so fun watching Cyrus and Connor assemble it together. We took lots of pictures and video. Cyrus is an amazing husband and father and it is a real joy to watch him with Connor. I am so blessed. Connor has been off school this past week. It was their big October break. He starts back tomorrow(tues Oct 24th).
Cyrus is doing well at work. He is doing more hands on stuff and really enjoying that. Working with the chips they make and testing them on the big machines is fun for him.
I am now 26 weeks pregnant and feeling great. I am tired all the time and sleeping at night is not so comfortable but all in all doing well. Our baby is on the move all the time. It is fun to watch my stomach pop out and watch the baby move all over. Connor saw the baby push my belly out and his eyes just bugged out of his head. It was so fun watching his expression. We are getting so excited for the new arrival. Cyrus's parents arrive five days before the due date. They arrive January 25th. They will be here until around the 23rd of Feb. We are very excited about their arrival and that Connor will be taken good care of when I go to have the baby.
The weather here is so beautiful. Lots of sun and all the fall leaves everywhere is so beautiful. We have had very little rain which for this time of year in Scotland is rare. We are loving it though. Well thats all for now. Pictures to come.
