Halloween is here!

Abby and I go to a program called Time Out (which is like mother's morning out) Today we had our Halloween party. The kids all dressed up and decorated pumpkins and cookies and ate pizza. It was a fun morning!

Abby wanted to get candy with her Vera bag not her trick or treat bag, too bad because her treat bag is cute, maybe she will use it at one of our other Halloween parties this weekend.

She was a dancing fool, she got hot and we had to take her costume off.

Stay tuned for more Halloween fun, we are going to Daddy's work tomorrow!

fun in the park

We went to the park a few days back and the kids had a blast on the see-saw.

While Mom and Dad are away.....

Adam and I recently took a trip to Savannah, it was our first weekend away without Abby. We met up with some college friends, Matt and Emily, we had some wonderful meals, took a carriage ride, did lots of shopping, the girls had a trip to the spa and the boys did a pub crawl. We also celebrated Matt's 30th birthday.

.........Abby and Grandma will play

Abby and Grandma Straw had a lot of fun! Abby got her first tutu, first baby stroller, a new picnic table, her first trip to buy a pumpkin, her first chance to mush play-doh and her first drawing with side-walk-chalk. Abby is still talking about her time with Gma and lucky for her we will be in Iowa very soon.

Thanks for coming to stay with Abby, we really had a wonderful time in Savannah! :)

Maine Part 2

We stayed at this beautiful home on Bailey Island. Check out this website for more pictures and views. http://www.maineislandgetaway.com/

The sunsets were gorgeous!

We had lots of fun hanging around the house, and we also frequented a few beaches.

We bought live lobsters at Cook's which was right across the street from the house we rented. We boiled them ourselves, and it was very yummy!

Abby was so excited to see the "shishey" she was not scared to even touch them. (of course the whole time I am praying that one of the bands does not come off)

Abby also loved watching them swim in our sink, she even thought they would still be there when she woke up the next morning. Whoops!

The finished product was amazing!

We has such a wonderful time in Maine, I know we will go back someday soon.

Maine Part 1

We went to Maine in September, we spent a few days in Portland and them met up with Adam's parents to head to Bailey Island for a week. Here are a few pics of our time in Portland.

We took a ferry ride and Abby loved the big boat.

We went to a Sea Dogs Baseball game.

Abby really enjoyed the game.

Adam sent me to this place to relax a while all by myself. :)

You choose a soak for your feet (I chose mint chocolate) and sit in these big sofa's while they serve you tea. How amazing!

All About Abby In Maine
