And we're off to bed...good night all. Mommy is going to try & stay up from here! We'll see how it goes. :)

Abby's SUPER Cute PJs
Abby is snuggling with Boz before bed...she didn't have too much of a candy high! She only had 2 pieces, so we'll just have to keep it at that! She loves these pjs (Auntie Beth, Uncle Jeff, Mich & J gave them to her) -- she also got witch underwear from them. I have a feeling we'll be wearing these all winter long! :)
The Take
Well, she did okay! I'm not sure what to do with it all...she is so funny & wants to eat it for breakfast. We'll have to hide part of it or just throw it out! Abby didn't know to get Mommy a baby Twix, so next year, she'll have to try harder! :) hahaha. Just what Mommy needs!
Queen Bee
Abby woke up from her nap & wanted to go trick or treating! So needless to say, she was EXCITED! Daddy said he had to carry her about 95% of the way! I don't think he minded. He missed Halloween last year, so he took her out walking around & Mommy stayed home to hand the candy out.
The Trick or Treaters!
Here they are looking all cute before they head out to get the loot! Abby has been practicing her bumble bee noise & she's ready. Now Brad taught her to say what kind of bee she is...the QUEEN bee! :)
Jack O' Lantern Pizza
We started out with our special Halloween pizza from Papa Murphey's ... it was yummy & easy! Good way to start our big night!
HAHAHA...Grandma Lene the Golf Pro
There are many reasons this picture is humerous. First off, Grandma Lene has never played golf in her life! Okay, I take that back...she has played putt putt, but she's not exactly a pro. The part I like best is Uncle Ben coming in from the side to help out! He won't let Grandma wreck your golf swing -- not even this young! No worries!
The Worm & Papa
We thought Abby might touch the worm. HAHAHA. What were we thinking? Maybe next year! She did think it was pretty cool...only when Papa was holding it!
No Fear
Mommy did not do a very good job of getting a picture of this slide. You should see how big it was. There was a little boy quite a bit older than Abby who started to cry about 1/2 way up. Not Abby. She couldn't get her footing, so the guy running it took her socks off & up she went. It was crazy. She made it up better than Mommy would have! I fully expected to have to go up with her, but she trucked right up. It's wild to see what she does without hesitation and what she won't do for anything!
Abby's Punkin
Abby found her special punkin (as she calls it!). She has found about 4 total now!! Daddy carved 2 and Abby painted 2 -- then there's one that we didn't do anything with! She sure likes to go to the pumpkin patch! The tractor ride IS pretty fun!
Goat Feeding @ Eckert's
Abby loves the goats, but she's not real keen on actually feeding them. The last time we were there, one nibbled on Daddy, so it'll probably be a while before she feels the urge to give it a try!
GG Jane's 80th Birthday Breakfast
On our trip to Chicago, we also celebrated GG's big birthday! We had a big dinner (thanks Uncle Jeff) of ribs and lots of good food Sunday night. Then, we went to a yummy breakfast place (Egg Hatch) & had a fun breakfast before we headed out to our separate homes. We had a lot of fun seeing everyone & wish we could do it more often.
Daddy's Chicago Marathon!!
Whew. This was one heck of a day. Mommy, Abby & Grandma got stuck on the train for an extra 45 minutes in order to help another train. Then we totally missed finding Daddy at the halfway point! The big factor was the weather. Last year, when Mommy ran the marathon, it was 20 degrees with the wind chill...this year, it was in the 90's with the heat index. What a nightmare. They actually called the marathon. Daddy was past the point that they made people stop, but it was scary. We couldn't find him & we ran to see look for him. We figured out that we probably walked about 6 miles (at least!) -- with no food or drink. Nothing like running through the streets of Chicago pregnant! :) Daddy finished the race & we were so proud of him. More importantly, he finished it safely. He will probably do another one someday because this one was so weird, but no matter what, he finished this one! We love him very much & are so proud of his accomplishment. It's an amazing experience.
BIG SIS IN TRAINING
Wednesday, October 17, 2007
Abby's exciting news! She will have a new brother or sister sometime around March 26th (hopefully a week or so early like she was!). We are all excited!
GG Biehler's 82nd Birthday!
Back to Illinois! We headed to Shelbyville to celebrate GG's 80th birthday. It was very fun. They also celebrated our 6th anniversary -- with a cake, so Abby was very happy!
Water fun!
The girls went to try & find the Farmer's Market. So, the boys took the kids and went to play in the water. Looks like they had fun!
Cousin Cuties!
This is a favorite picture of ours. :) They look too cute. We went to eat at Red Top after the zoo & here they are looking cozy in the booth!
Abby & Parker
Now this relationship has been really special from the beginning. There's just something so sweet about these two together. Abby talks about Parker like he lives down the street & he seems to think Abby is pretty special too. It's fun to see them together! Not sure how long this will last, but we'll enjoy every minute while it does.
Holding Hands
It's so cute to see them together now that they are both a little older. They play together really well most of the time. Abby thinks that Maddy is really cool now & Maddy is happy that Abby doesn't put everything in her mouth now! I think they will be good friends.
Maddy & Abby
Here we are at the zoo! Abby loves any zoo, any place! This one is especially cool because you get to feed the giraffes. Here are the princesses, ready to be carted around the zoo!
4th of July
We headed to CO Springs from Wyoming ... Abby thought it was sad to leave Conner & Avery. Conner brought her a couple of bags of fruit snacks for the car & she thought that was pretty great! We got to the Springs in just enough time to celebrate the 4th. Abby got to go swimming with her cousins and then we had a great meal at Branon & Heather's. Abby was sleeping during the fireworks ... probably a good thing because she doesn't really like loud noises. Here she is eating all of Uncle Branon's blueberries off of his dessert!
