Hey there!! I know it has been over a month since I updated our blog, sorry. But hopefully I'l make up for it around the holidays!! I promise lots of pictures of Abigail as she celebrates with family!!

We started by getting a tree this past weekend & decorating. We have had 2 ornament casualties, but I think 1 of them can be repaired.

Here is your favorite blondie searching for pumpkins at my work's Halloween party. She got a little frustrated that they were hidden in rose bushes with thorns and couldn't stick her hand all the way in. We got them out & re-hid them for her though. I think she is going to expect pumpkins to be hidden everytime she goes there now.

On Sunday we took Abigail to another Halloween event & Abigail was in heaven. More bouncing, a petting zoo that took her awhile to warm up to, snacks & juice...all for FREE!!!! Life is good!!

Saturday Halloween Fun

My company hosted a huge Halloween event at our new property and Chris, Abigail & I went. Abigail was having so much fun that she didn't want to leave. Her new favoirte activity, bouncing in one of those bouncy houses!!!

Casey & Katie - the chef jacket you gave her was the biggest hit!! Everyone stopped us and wanted to tell us how cute she was...she was the only chef there. Everyone was impressed that it was embroidered with her name and everything!!!!

New Winter Coat for Abigail

Abigail is making her modeling debut in her new fancy winter coat.

You gotta love this face

If it isn't completely obvious we had spaghetti & meanballs for dinner. Of course Abigail loved it and wanted more & more & more!!


After her bath I put pigtails in her hair for the very first time. They were tiny, but so cute. Too bad they didn't last long enough for me to get a picture of them. She liked them when she was looking in the mirror, but they didn't last through her getting her pjs on. I'll try again soon!!

Big Baby News!!!

WE ARE GOING TO HAVE ANOTHER BABY!!

Yep, that's right...Abigail is going to be a big sister. I am about 10 weeks along and due on May 13th. We saw the doctor on Tuesday and he told us that the baby looks great. And yes, I am sick as can be again this time around. Nevertheless, we are all very excited about this upcoming addition to our family!

Love you all!!

Can your strainer do this?

This is Abigail's new "hat." She has been wearing this "hat" for the last couple days and started doing it all on her own. What a silly girl!!

Abigail's cool new shoes.

Check out my new shoes.


There is Elmo, KeyKey (Cookie), and Doey (Zoe).


My new shoes light up when I walk!


Do you like my shoes?


See there's Elmo and Keykey and Doey again!!!

Go Hokies! Beat Duke!

Abigail had a great time today wearing her "Tek Hoke" jersey! Of course, she didn't watch much of the game, but she did cheer everytime Daddy said, "Touchdown!"

1st Trip to Jolly Roger

Last weekend, we took Abigail to Jolly Roger. The Town of OC purchases passes for all employees & their families, Chris included. Fully catered & free!!! What a day!! Abigail loved that the pool had slides, built in toys, and was just the right depth that she could walk in it.

First Real Boo-Boo

Yesterday, Abigail fell outside in the driveway & scraped her lip. It's still swollen this morning...poor little girl!! She such a trooper though!

PONYTAIL!!!

I think the pictures speak for themselves!

The Zoo!!!

Saturday the 26th we went to the Salisbury Zoo. While the zoo is small compared to, well any other zoo, but it was perfect for the hour or so we spent there. Here are some pictures from our trip.

New Favorite Snack

On Sunday Abigail discoved peanut butter and crackers...Pop-Pop Brooks, aren't you proud!!! We had never even given them to her before, so I don't know where it came from, but now she asks for "bu-er" and "crackers" all the time.

Playing in the rain

It started raining while I was grilling burgers on Thursday. Abigail did not want to come back inside. Playing in the rain was too much fun! Then after dinner we went back out to play in more rain, after which the sun cam out and we sat on the deck to dry out.
