It's been a long week and a half around here. I had shingles last week and needless to say, Abby and I didn't get out much at all! So far this week, it's been too cold to really get out and do anything. So...we are bored. Abby is putting boxes on her head for some entertainment....more fun to come next week in Arkansas for Christmas!!
I love our neighborhood! Tonight, they had a Christmas tree lighting party from 4-7. They had choirs singing Christmas carols, gingerbread houses, hot chocolate, cookies, Santa, a huge Christmas tree and bounce houses. It was so much fun to walk around and see neighbors all out having fun together. We loved it!!! Abby was brave enough to get in the bounce house. Bo and I couldn't believe she even got in, much less loved it. We didn't get to stay for the actual lighting of the tree because it is past Abby's bed time, but loved being there early. Merry Christmas!
We headed down to Houston for the Thanksgiving break. Abby had a GREAT time with her sweet cousins and her Mimi and Papa. Her favorite family member, however, was the "wa-wa"...the pet dog. She woke up from about every nap and each morning saying "wa-wa" and wanting to go see Missy. Poor dog! Bo and I saw many friends and were able to sneak away for a movie one day and some dinners with friends! Thanks Mimi and Papa. Won't be long until we are back in Houston again.

Christmas 2007
Yes, I am aware that it is November and a bit early, but my neighborhood play group met at the mall to take Santa pics. I think Abby did great! What do you think?
Abby loves the Lohrding boys! She kept trying to kiss them and her daddy was kind of freaking out about it. Luke didn't seem to mind at all. Too funny! We were going to go to Baylor homecoming, but instead, Abby put on her Baylor overalls and off we went to watch football and catch up.
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.
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.
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!
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!
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!
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!
YES. We took the bumpers for her pack-and-play. Works like a charm every time!
Bo and I met at Baylor and were married on August 5, 2000. We had a baby girl on September 18, 2007. Three years later, the Lord blessed our family with a son. He was born on January 28, 2011. I feel so blessed and honored to be the mom of two beautiful children! I love my life!!
