Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving Art by Christian Glen Hopkins

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday! Jim, Christian and I headed down to Fort Smith to have Thanksgiving lunch with all the Sharum family. We had 38 people in attendance and to document this event, Uncle Rob had a photo session scheduled at A Closer Look studio to have our pictures made. We were able to get one with all 38 family members!
I hope to share those pics soon! Here are just a couple from our Thanksgiving lunch...

It's a BOY!

Today we had our 20 week ultrasound! Jim and I were both nervous to find out if we were having a boy or a girl. The ultrasound technician was really nice and went over all the organs, bones, etc. and said everything looked perfect! Heart rate was in the 150s. She immediately said it was a boy! No doubts. Jim and I were both surprised! We are very excited to be having another boy! I am happy that Christian will have a little brother! Now we can't wait to meet our baby boy, Andrew Robert Hopkins!

Here are some of the ultrasound pictures...

His sweet face! You can even see his nose and mouth!

Here is a full body picture. You can see his spine and his legs curled up!

Look! A foot! Perfect little toes!
We can't wait until we get to hold our baby Andrew and kiss those sweet baby feet!

Dinner party at Nora's house!

Saturday night, Christian stayed with Pops and GoGo so we could attend Nora's dinner party. Nora is one of our friends, neighbors and Jim's co-worker. She is one of the sweetest ladies I have ever met! The theme for the dinner party was German food. Nora had lived in Germany and one of Jim's other co-workers Christian O. is a native German as well. We had lots of yummy German food and music! It was so much fun!

Thanks Nora for the lovely dinner!

Twilight!

Friday night, me and nine girlfriends went to the opening night of Twilight! Though I would have never thought I would be interested in a book series involving vampires, I must admit they are great books! I am currently reading the 3rd book in the 4 book series, Eclipse. We had dinner at Noodles and then went to the 9:25 show. The crowd was CRAZY! We had to buy our tickets two weeks ago and I heard they sold out of tickets a week before the show opened. The movie was actually pretty good and I am looking forward to seeing the next movie!

Razorback Basketball in the ARVEST Suite!

Thursday night, our ARVEST1 trade desk got tickets to the ARVEST Suite at Bud Walton Arena to watch the Razorbacks play California-Davis. Though we spent more time visiting than watching the game, it was a good time!

Our family pictures!

A couple weekends ago, we had our family pictures taken by Kim Lowery. She is an amazing photographer! Check out her website at www.kimlowery.com

Here are a few of our favorites...





Christian loves to hug, kiss and listen to my belly! He is so excited about the baby!
We have our ultrasound Monday to find out if it's a boy or a girl! Can't wait!

Christian's Tiny Tots Thanksgiving Program!

Today was Christian's preschool Thanksgiving program. Each student made 2 invitations. Christian sent one to Pops and gave one to his dad. :) The class dressed as indians and sang songs. Here are some pictures that Jim took at the program...




Christian was excited to see Pops!
