And then there were FOUR!

On December 6th at 7:24 a.m. Kenny and I welcomed our baby girl, Violet Kathleen Walters, into the world! We immediately noticed the strong resemblance to our baby boy, or should I say our BIG BOY, Gideon!  There is no denying that they are siblings! 

We have now been home together for 7 wonderful days and the reality that Kenny will be returning to work in just 2 days definitely brings a small storm cloud over me, but I am so grateful for the 10 days we've had!

We are especially blessed this holiday season and are looking forward to an amazing 2011!

Lots of love,

The Walters

38 Weeks and Counting!

According to "What to Expect When You're Expecting," New Baby Walters SHOULD be close to 7 lbs...Bah, ha, ha...YEAH RIGHT!!  At last weeks ultrasound, he/she was estimated to weigh 5 lbs 14 oz!!  The first thought that went through my mind when hearing this was...HOLY HUGE!!  :)  Compared to our precious little 4 lb 7 oz baby boy Gideon, this one is a monster!  I think it is safe to say that I just don't grow big babies...but then again, who knows what will happen in the next 2-4 weeks! Yes, I just said 4 weeks!

At this point, I still feel fairly comfortable and can envision myself munching on turkey on Thanksgiving Day without a 4th member to our family! Heck, I can even envision entering a new month without a 4th member! Talk about a completely different experience from before! 

Below you will find the one and only preggo pic that I have taken this time around (taken this morning in our kitchen)!  Hopefully my next entry will be to introduce the Blogging world (which consists of my 4 followers, one of which is myself and all of whom will already be made aware of our arrival) to our newest addition! 

Lots of love!

Halloween Success!!

Hello all!

I believe it is safe to say that Chef Gideon Walters had a WONDERFUL Halloween this year! The day started off with a trip to Falmouth By the Sea for a visit with Grandy (and Uncle Timmy, Aunt Cathy & Aunt Patty)!  He was a HIT with the other residents and staff for sure!  :)

Our evening was spent with Kenny's side of the family on Tremont Street in Portland and we all had a great time.  Gideon especially loved shuffling through the leaves and all the special attention he received back at the house after trick or treating!  ;)  He sure is loved! 

As I begin to brainstorm costume ideas for next Halloween, (yes, I'm already in that mode) I'm going to keep it in the back of my mind that the last two years we have decided on costumes that showcase Kenny's interests...2009 an electric guitar and 2010 a chef.  Next year it may have to be my turn...can't you just see an adorable running shoe or free weight???  Hummm...I may need to pick up some new hobbies and QUICK!

Treat or Treat and lots of love,
The Walters

The Trick or Treating Gang! (or most of us rather)

Welcome to Our Life!

Hello friends and family!

With our recent departure from the world of social networking, we have decided to take a different approach to keeping our favorite people informed of our current shenanigan's! Soooo...welcome to THE WALTERS REPORT!

The biggest news to report at this time is that we are just days or weeks (preferably the latter) away from welcoming the newest member into our family!!  It is SO hard to believe that Gideon will soon be a big brother, and what a WONDERFUL big brother he will be!   We will post pictures of Baby Walters #2 just as soon as we meet him/her!  Any guesses on what this one may be????  :)

That is all for now, signing off and sending lots of love your way!  Enjoy this recent picture of Gideon!  :)
