Happy Halloween




Abigail and I stopped by Ted's office this afternoon to participate in his company's Halloween festivities.  I wasn't planning on it, but his coworkers convinced us to enter her into the costume contest.

Halloween Fun




Abigail and I attended our MOMS Club Halloween party/potluck this morning.  The kids were adorable and the food was yummy.  We both had a really nice time.  Unfortunately I did not get any pictures of Abigail in her costume at the party.

Picture #3: Lucas (Batman), Mariah (Minnie Mouse), and Skylar (Tinkerbell) ready to trick-or-treat.
Picture #4: Halloween is Nicole's favorite holiday and she dressed up for the party.  She is a very fun mom.

Umbrella Stroller


I wanted to share two last pictures from our trip to NC.  Both pictures are of Abigail in the umbrella stroller we borrowed from my sister.  She absolutely loved being in this stroller.  I think it made her feel like such a big girl.

Picture #1 was taken on 10/6/2012.
Picture #2 was taken on 10/7/2012.

Abigail Meets Her Cousins




On thing I was really excited about in regards to our trip to NC was the opportunity to introduce Abigail to her cousins Nicholas and Emiah.  Abigail was amazed at the number of books and toys they had, and I think they all hit it off pretty well.

Picture #2: Emiah and Abigail at play.
Picture #3: Abigail playing the piano for Aunt Suzie.
Picture #4: Nicholas taking all of they books off the bookshelf.
