All Abby

Grandma Cathy and Grandpa Bill watched both girls last week so Josh and I could go out for dinner. When we came home, Grandpa and Abby were snuggled up like this, and Abby was sound asleep. 

Hints of a smile. It's been hard to capture her little smiles on camera.

Sleeping in her bassinet next to our bed.

Nursery Tour

The nursery is finally decorated. My sister bought us the cute wall stickers, and I splurged and bought some of the expensive photos of Abby taken in the hospital, when she was just 24 hours old. She doesn't sleep in her room yet (she sleeps in her Arm's Reach Co-sleeper Bassinet in our bedroom), but the changing table sees a lot of action.

Cat-in-the-Box

What is a cat to do when her owner gets a new video game system? Sleep in the box, of course.

What we've been up to this past month

Holiday Fun

I left Abby and Josh to hang out at home last week while Megan and I enjoyed holiday activities for preschoolers through our school district. Megan is nervous around costumed characters, and this was as close as she would get to Santa.

But she wasn't so fearful of Mrs. Claus, especially with her friend right next to her.

Megan and her friend participating in the book walk. Megan's friend won a book ... although it was in Spanish. 

Decorating and eating a Christmas cookie!

Megan liked playing with the "snowman" with Mr. Potato Head pieces.

Megan decorated a Christmas tree with bingo stampers.

One of the last activities of the evening: making a reindeer hat.

Welcome, Abigail Grace

It's been a bit since I've posted, but I'd like to introduce the newest member of our family. Abigail was born October 27 at 7:26 a.m. weighing 8 pounds, 4 ounces. We are all doing well and adjusting to life as a family of four.
