Thanksgiving in San Diego!

We flew down to San Diego for Thanksgiving this year...what a great trip!  Abigail did really well on all the plane rides, taking a nap a couple times and finding plenty to play with on the other flights.  We had a great time seeing lots of Brad's family and friends and also getting to take Abigail to see some sights and do a few things...the beach, the carousel, and the train.

On the airplane...ready to go!!

Magna Doodle drawing board...a lifesaver!  She loved it!

Seaport Village, the first night we were there 

Breakfast, hotel style!  Abigail did really well going with the flow with all the different places we ate while we were there!

Pacific Beach

Breakfast with GG at The Green Flash in PB...always a good time and yummy food!

Not a happy camper about getting her picture taken, but her outfit sure is cute!  Thanks Uncle Mac!!

Shaggy hair...ready for a little haircut!

First haircut, even tho it was bang only!

Bad picture, but you can see the nice trim!

Our little Beaver!

Fall update!

Things are busy around here...seems like it never ends!  And the holiday season is soon to be here, which will only add to the chaos!  But it's such a blessing to be so busy, especially with a sweet little toddler!  She is continuing to pick up new words all the time!  She can communicate her wants and needs and most of the time, even if it's with hand gestures in addition to a few words!  And this morning she put two words together...starting to work on sentences!  I wonder if she'll like to talk as much as her mommy and daddy did when they were little-we may be in for it!  She loves to talk to Bella or call Bella or tell Bella "out"!  "bee-ya ow!" with a little hand wave too!

We found out a couple weeks ago that Abigail will have a little sister, so I am busy starting to think about what we need and need to do to get ready for a little one again!  We are loving the cooler weather and changing leaves this time of year!  Here's to a happy fall and a great holiday season!

18 months and Halloween

Spring Babies 2013 group...they are getting so big!!

 

Abigail loves the bubble wand...she could care less about the bubbles, she just likes to dip the wand in the bubble juice!  So, this was the only way I could remotely get her to cooperate for this pic.  I think this was the last one :)!

Pumpkin carving with Daddy

Auntie and Abigail

She was being less than cooperative for pictures...but we got a few!

Chicken, Kangaroo, and Day at the Spa (it was his office theme!)

Our first Trick or Treat!  We only went to one house and didn't take any candy, but it was good practice for next year!

17 months! Time for fall!

On the move!

Sitting on her new step stool...made a perfect little chair!

Story of my life...tryng to do one thing, she wants me to do another!

Hanging out with Bella! 

Abigail likes to hold the board for Mommy's belly pics!

Coloring a picture for Grandpa's birthday!  She loves to color!

This one looks good, right, Ma?!

We settled on this one instead!

She loves carrying around her pumpkin.  The sun was too bright to look up at the camera!
