Meeting Abraham!!

Sarah & Amos had their precious little boy a week ago...Abraham Jerman Disasa. We finally got to meet him yesterday!! It was a whirlwind visit, but we got to see Stephen's whole family...which made for a great photo! Holding little Abraham was so sweet. It's so hard for me to remember that mine were that tiny not too long ago. Welcome to the family Abraham!!

Rainy day activities

These weren't my choice of rainy day fun activities. I was on the computer for a few minutes and found them doing this...

What? Who me? It's totally safe to play with plastic bags Mom!

"Look at my rainbow!" Abby exclaims.

10 months old!

The teddy bear pics are still not working out now that he's mobile. He thinks it's really funny for me to keep tackling him to try to get the perfect pic! He is pulling up constantly, cruising a little along the couch, loves opening and closing doors, loves to eat, still no teeth, says mama and doggie (Stephen thinks he's saying daddy!), and loves Abby so much. He's a little on the small side now, 6th %ile for weight. I guess being on the move is using up those calories! Can't believe he'll be having his 1st birthday soon!


Sibling battles already! Right now they are funny! Look at his tongue...it's always out in concentration mode!

Nivens Farm Fall Fun (3 Fs!)

It was so fun to take both kids this year...last year Abby didn't fit too well on my lap! A hayride, corn maze, pumpkins, stinky farm animals, unique playground, picnic lunch...it was great! Just a few fun pics...

3 and a 1/2 years big!

My first baby is 3.5 tomorrow! Wow, we're on our way to 4 really fast. She is so funny. We have days where we wonder what planet she dropped from, but mostly she is a joy to be around. She recently had a sleepover with a friend...and it actually went well or let's say it could have gone worse! She adores McAlister, unless he's in her toys or getting too much of my attention. She really likes to play outside anytime it rains. Happy 1/2 birthday baby girl!

9 months old!!

So this photo shoot is the first one with the teddy bear that did not go well. That's what happens with mobility I guess. I should have opted for these progressive pics to be in a chair rather than lying down...lesson learned. He was much happier when standing! 9 months have flown by. He's been out as long as he was in now! We love him so much and enjoy watching him learn about life. He LOVES his big sister, loves to eat, sleeps pretty well, crawls and pulls up too well for my liking yet (b/c it seems like toilets are just the right size for pulling up on--gross!), is verbally loud (gagaga and mamamama can reach high volumes!), and really enjoys a good laugh!!

Sky Top apple picking days again!

Mmmmm...mmmmm...good! The apples this year are so delicious! My parents were in town for Labor Day weekend and we enjoyed a morning of picking, eating, and picnicking once again. McAlister loved his first Sky Top trip and his first apple. And we'll all be enjoying them for awhile now since we brought home so many. I look forward to my apple or two each day! Stephen asked me if I'm trying to keep him away?!! Heehee!
