Abby's 1st Soccer game - Go Gators!

Mommy and Josh were barely there! I don't know why the earliest game of the season had to be the 1st one but that is the only reason mommy and Josh didn't show up late!!

Abby is #5

Enjoying a much awaited breakfast at Whataburger after the game!

Brackenridge Park

Antony had a conference in San Antonio so the kids and I went down for part of it. We went over to Brackenridge park and rode the train. This was Josh's first train ride. He really enjoyed it!

New Baby Preparations!

We've been busy getting ready for Josh's arrival. I finally finished Abby's quilt right before Christmas (which was my goal). I thought it turned out really great and was very proud of myself. I had some guidence and help from my friend Robyn, otherwise it never would have happened!! We've been preparing Abby as much as we can for the life change ahead of us all but only time will tell how she will react. We did go to a sibling preparation class at the hospital so she got to see where Josh will be born, where mommy will be staying and got some pointers on taking care of baby. She really enjoyed being at the hospital but was sad that we didn't get to take Josh home! We are also finished with Josh's room finally. I am really happy with how it turned out! My amnio is on the 19th and then we will know when I can schedule my c-section.

First Day of School

Abby started pre-school at the Goddard School in Leander today. She will be going on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 to 1. She and I are both excited!! Seeing as how Antony travels some and we don't have family in the area, Abby and I have been pretty attached to each other the last 3 years. Though I wouldn't trade that for anything, I think we were both ready for a little separation!! There was no crying or sadness this morning. She was ready and after dropping her off I think I was on a "freedom high"! I had prepared her as much as I could since she likes routine and to know what is coming. I had gone through the schedule of her day with her and she was excited. She and I both really like her teacher, Miss Katie, so that is always a good thing.

For whatever reason she wanted her lunchbox on the ground!

Abby's 3rd birthday pary

On the berm watching the game

If you look closely you can see Antony carrying Abby as she is suppose to be running on the field. All birthday parties get to run on the field with Spike in the bottom of the 3rd inning. How fun!

Abby and D-daddy. That is the Express baseball that the people at the ball field gave to her.

Presents!

Big girl bed

June 30, 2009

We finally got her bed together! I had my great, great grandparents bed from the early 1900s restored for Abby. The people that restored it also found me a dresser that looks like it was made to match the bed. Abby is so excited about her new big bed and she seems so much more comfortable. My friend Robyn and I are working on the quilt that will go on her bed. Hopefully we will get it done before Abby leaves for college!!!

Sea World

June 29, 2009

We had been wanting to take Abby to Sea World for awhile and finally made it happen. It was so fun even though the temperatures were in the 100s. Abby got to ride several of the rides and the little Shamu express roller coaster. She also loved all of the shows and really had a great day!

Easter Day

Look what the Easter Bunny brought!
