Abigail's Christmas Present

For Abigail's first Christmas, she decided to give everyone a very special gift...THE FLU!!! We were in Mason for less than 12 hours, before she became very ill as well as almost everyone she came in contact with! Thankfully, there were some lucky ones who remained healthy. Here were some of the not-so-lucky recipients before the storm...

Aunt Erin


Great-Grandma


Uncle Sam


Great-Grandad


Daddy

Abigail ended up being sick for 8 very, very, very long days! So much for her flu shot!

1. But you just had a baby!
2. Was it planned?
3. YOU'RE CRAZY!!!

If you haven't heard yet, we're pregnant with baby #2! I'm 13 weeks and due June 12th. However, I'm planning on a July baby after what happened last time around! (Don't worry - I learned my lesson.) Abigail and Baby #2 will be 15 months apart. We're very excited, but feel a bit apprehensive in having two young children so close in age. Anyone want to nanny?

Fun times at Grandma's birthday party!

I'm sorry Bethany, but I had to post these pictures! I'm still laughing...

"Let's push our bellies out!"

"Watch out Angelina Jolie!"

Don't worry sis, nobody looks at this blog anyway! :)

Travis said nobody will care about these pictures, but I decided to post them anyway!

I was looking through some old pictures tonight and came across some good memories BA - Before Abigail.

Two summers ago, we found three abandoned baby kittens in our garage. We think they had just been born due to what Travis had found with them (I won't go into any more details...). We had absolutely no previous experience with cats and no desire whatsoever to actually have one as a pet. The following are some of the many pictures we took of the kittens that we ended up growing very attached to. Now we LOVE cats!!! :)

You could hold all three of them in one hand.

Bottle feeding

Lots of cuddling

Yes, that was our UGLY multi-striped couch in the background! It was the very first thing I made Travis throw away when we moved!

Trying to teach them to eat by themselves

We still have Brownie and my sister and Travis' mom have the other two. :)


And a completely random picture of the most famous person I've ever met...

STEPHEN A. SMITH!

He's a basketball analyst and talk show host on ESPN. He's a very feisty man - I really like him!
