I feel....

like I'm always playing catch-up.  Life just seems to be spinning out of control  faster than it used to.

So here's a quick update:

Though Ben is almost 6 months old, here he is at 5 months.



As of a couple days ago he is crawling all over the place!

We had a white Thanksgiving! A first for me since moving to the Seattle area.

Abby and Gerritt had so much fun building this snowman.

We hope everyone is enjoying their holiday season!

Halloween

Here's my cute princess.

And my little kangaroo. Do you think he looks like Abby? Click HERE to see.

The two of them together after a long evening of Trunk-or-Treating.

Abby tells me these cute girls are her best friends! They had so much fun playing and trick-or-treating together.

Pumpkin Patch & 4 months!

We had the chance to go to the Pumpkin Patch with Abby's preschool class.

We went on a tractor ride.....

And checked out the fields.....

And picked out a pumpkin!

Though Abby isn't smiling in any of the pictures I took, she told me she had fun. As much as Abby fights taking a nap...she still needs one.

That same day Ben turned 4 months old!

His 4 month stats:

15 lb 12 oz  75%

25 in  50%

He is getting so big...and so much fun!!!

Playing Catch-up

The rest of September flew by.....

Abby wanted her picture taken because I was taking Ben's three month pics.

Here's Ben at three months. I just love his chubby cheeks. (They're the best for kissing!)

Abby also started riding the bus to preschool. She LOVES it! I love it too.

First day....

...of preschool! Abby started preschool today. She is in the ECE program at our local elementary school.

Cute as a button getting ready for school.

The morning started out a little rough. Abby cried when I left her in class, but her teachers said she did fine the rest of the day.

Happy as a clam at the end of the day!
