happy halloween!!!

4th picture in my 4th album..kind of

Ashley K. tagged me to post the 4th picture in my 4th album.  Well, I only have one big album of pictures on this computer that we bought shortly after Abby was born.  This is the 4th picture on my computer.  It is a picture of Abby and me when she was 2 months old.  A friend of mine is a photographer in Houston and she took pictures as a gift to me.  I love this one!  Ok...now, I tag Katie, Meredith W., Chara and Jen.

another arboretum trip!

Abby and I went to the arboretum today with a friend in our neighborhood.  It was a chilly, but beautiful day and the girls had a great time!   Finally fall weather to go with all the scenery there.

fun, special weekend

This past weekend, we had Abby's baby dedication at our church.  It was a special time for our family and we had many family members and friends there to help us celebrate!  The cousins had a great time playing together and the adults had a great time watching them and catching up. Thanks for coming from Houston and Little Rock to be with us.  It was so much fun!  

cooler weather

They say that cooler weather is on the way to Big D.   Abby and I made our weekly trip to Target today and since she does not have a coat for the winter, I got her one and a cute hat as well. When we got home I put them on her and now she won't let me take them off.  She LOVES the hat and cracks up when she looks in the mirror.  I have a feeling you will be seeing lots of this in the next few months!  

look alike much?

There is no denying my baby daddy.  Scary!

our tired puppy

If you have been around Abby lately, you know that she barks at every animal she sees....including birds, squirrels and even ants.  So...for Halloween she is going to be a puppy this year!  We had dinner last night at some friend's house and they said the kids could dress up in their costume.  I was too busy chasing our puppy around to take any pictures while we were hanging out, but we had one tired puppy after all the fun!

walking

Abby is almost walking!  I say almost because she isn't real independent yet and she looks more like Frankenstein when she moves around, but she loves to try!  Here is a short clip from this morning.   She will walk back and forth all day if we let her!

sick

It's been a long week here.  Abby has been sick and it has not been fun at all.  We are going to the doctor today to see what I can do if anything.  She has just been pitiful....fever, runny nose, and now a bad cough.   I love this time of year, but also hate it!   I hope she gets over this soon and doesn't get it again for a while!   Before I took this picture, she was looking quite rough, but right as I took it she smiled.  Doesn't look real sick, but trust me, it's been a long week!

Just got back from the doctor.  Not only does she have a bad cold and cough, but her molars are coming in!  Could be the reason for the fever, crankiness and more than you can imagine drool! At least her ears looked good...

woooooo pig sooie p.s.

YES.  We took the bumpers for her pack-and-play.  Works like a charm every time!

woooooo pig sooie!

Last Wednesday, Abby and I headed up to Fayetteville, Arkansas to see my sister, brother-in-law and their son Zach.  Zach was born 9 weeks after Abby.  They were hilarious together all weekend long.  Mom met us on Wed. too and we shopped all day Thursday and Friday.  We had a blast and the kids were too funny "playing" together.   It was fun to watch their differences.  Abby  is such a girl...DRAMA queen, just playing with her dolls.  Zach, on the other hand, is such a boy....wild man and nothing seems to bother him at all.  They got along pretty well, but when they didn't, we were laughing too hard to do anything about it.  Bo and my dad met us Friday and we all went to the Razorback game on Saturday. The weather was perfect...the game was not, but it was still fun and I called the HOGS many times!!!  I love them..even when they are having a rough year.  We had a great time with family and Abby looked too cute in all her Arkansas outfits!  Go Hogs!
