Day 26: Let the Cuteness Begin....

My cousins are finally here!!!!!! They are visiting from Ohio for a week, and we are so excited!! Abram and Kate were born 12 days apart. We love getting these cuties together. There was a lot of grocery shopping to do and these are some of the highlights...

Day 25: A Little Piece of Heaven

I need to tell you that this was one of the funnest evenings I have had in a long time. My friend Windy invited us to go with her family and pick sunflowers (kind of a long story-that's the very summarized version) tonight. She has no idea how much sunflowers mean to me. They remind me of my Grandpa. When I was little, we use to walk round and round my grandparents huge garden, and in the very back of the garden were sunflowers-they are my absolute favorite. Although my Grandpa passed away many years ago, whenever I see this particular flower it comforts me and takes me back to good memories of my childhood. We had a great night, sunflower picking, and then out to eat. Thank you guys SO MUCH for inviting us, we had so much fun.

**Please let me know if you are unable to see the slideshow, and I will try to send you some pics we took.

I am obviously trying to makeover my blog. It may change a few times before I figure out.....so stay tuned.

Day 25: When Daddy's In Charge.....

Here is our conversation this morning.....

Kris: "Beth, I am going to go in late and you can take a shower while I feed Abram breakfast. What do you want me to feed him?"

Me: "Oh, oatmeal or cherrios, whatever."

I take my shower, yes, a long shower, and not a power shower-sooo nice, what a great husband. I am getting ready and Kris comes in the bedroom and is putting something in the closet.

Me: "Where's Abram?" (By the way, it's around 7:15a.m.)

Kris: "Oh he is in the living room, eating a sucker."

Me: (Thinking "My child who is not even 2 yrs old is alone with a sucker in the living room and it's 7:15 in the morning!!") "A sucker?"

Kris: "He did a good job eating breakfast, so I gave him a sucker."

We walk into the living room, Abram is happy as a clam with sucker drool all down the front of his shirt.

Me: "Why did you put him in the shorts he had on yesterday?"

Kris: "Because I like them."

Me: "Oh." Then I take a couple pics.

Kris: "You're going to blog about this, aren't you?"

Day 24 Part 2: Battle Wound

We went for a playdate today at a friend's house. All was fine and wonderful until Abram fell down the stairs. We had put a opened suitcase at the top as a "gate" and I think he pushed on the suitcase and flew over top and rolled down. I was chatting away and then we heard it. My heart stopped, I don't think I have ever been so scared. He fell all the way to the floor and then got up (as I was running down) and cried for 5 minutes or so, snotted all over my shirt, got a million kisses,......and then tried climbing back up the stairs again. He is such a boy. So here are pics of his first black eye. After that fall, this is all he's got to show for it. It's a little bit darker than in the picture. And he is eating grapes, so no his cheeks didn't swell or anything :). The way he played his little heart out the rest of the time (along with going up and down the stairs some more without falling) you would have never known it happened. I am so grateful that angels watch over my little boy!

Day 24: Nat's Wedding

My sister got married in May and I have been a slacker at putting pics on my blog. We just started to get the pics back. My cousin Josie has recently started going out on her own in photography. She did the pictures and they are awesome from what I have seen so far. This is one of my favorites. I will definately be ordering it:


P.S. HAPPY BIRTHDAY NATALIE SUE!!!!!!!

Day 23: How Bizarre.....

On the way home from the park, we saw these...."birds". SO this is my question-is this what happens when you breed a chicken and a duck????
