Happy Abby!


 Our little Abby girl is one happy baby!  She is smiling alot more now and loves to try to "talk" to us!  She loves her big brothers and will light up when she sees them and they talk to her.  I just love that she is so happy and such a sweet little girl!



 Playing with her little activity mat (I think we were doing school with the big boys at the time.)


 Really trying to talk!
 L-O-V-E Her!!!!!

September 2012 -- another busy and fun-filled month!  Here are some of the random pics of our busy days!

Seth sure loves his Abby-girl!

Abby 8 weeks

 Our
 sweet
 little
 Abby
 is already
 8 weeks old!!!

Outdoor Fun


It was a sunny and warm "fall" day, so I took the boys over to the hiking trails by Lake Stillhouse Hollow -- one of their all-time favorite spots to play and be outdoors!  They love exploring, running, climbing, jumping, seeing some of God's creatures (mostly fish, frogs, bugs, etc.), and playing in or near the creek.  They are all so happy and content whenever we go here -- and one of the perks of homeschooling, is that we can make little trips like these very educational!

 

Notice that these are the only pictures of the boys all dry near the creek...


 Me and Abby -- she slept the majority of the time -- nice and snug!
 It started off with just putting their feet into the water, and going in the VERY shallow parts...
 However, that quickly changed to running through the creek, and getting their whole bottom halves wet...
 (Luke is holding a water bottle with a teeny tiny little frog that he caught.)


 And within ~5-10 minutes this is what they looked like -- pretty much swimming in the little creek -- soaking wet from head to toe!  Loving every minute of it!  And only a little bit chilly afterwards.


I love the fun and spontaneous moments like this with my kiddos!!!

Fall Soccer!

Luke is back to playing soccer -- he couldn't be any happier about this!!!  This boy LOVES soccer!!!  We are playing with the rec league in Salado -- so we are making new friends this go round, but we really like it so far!  The U6 division plays 3-on-3, and we will play 8 games this fall.  Robert is our coach, and our team name is "The Mean Green!"



What everyone else was doing at the soccer game...
