Holy Cow!!!!

I didn't realize how long it's been since I posted last. Well...summer is officially over as we have experienced our first Autumn snowfall on October 28th. A normal occurence in this part of the country. Yet today it is 66 degrees out. Can't we pick a season and stick with it for a while?
Anyway...some news we haven't shared yet...the third and final installment to the Pettit Family is in the works. A new baby is due on April 12th!! And we won't know the gender until delivery. The concensus is that we would like to have another girl but Lilly insists on having a "little brudder". Only time will tell.
We are gearing up to head east for Thanksgiving, and we are driving this time. Yes we are crazy. But if we don't go now...we probably won't be back until summer or later. And we haven't visited since last Christmas. We're hoping for good weather as driving through the mountains of PA in the winter is treacherous.

The girls are growing! Lilly loves pre-school. She's learning a ton. Ella is speaking in full sentences (almost). And she's on her way to potty training. They are very excited for vacation and the holidays. Mostly for holiday cookies I think.

On another note...cakes have been keeping us busy. We did a wedding for 300 in September and it came out beautifully! Looking forward to the next big cake. August was quite busy with birthday cakes almost every weekend. It's quite nice to have a break now with all of our birthdays coming up here in the next 3 months. Josh, 11/15, Ella 12/15, Melissa 1/13 and Lilly 1/28. Not too mention all the holiday baking in between.
Penny has been lovable and annoying all at the same time. We have adjusted to the barking, shedding and poop scooping. But we are ready for her to gain a few more years and start calming down.
And I suppose that is all for now. Hopefully it will not be another 5 months before I update this again, but I'm sure it will be a few. So from all the Pettits have a Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
