Fall Comparison

This is a silly picture of Ava but I thought it would be fun to compare the girls around the same age. Hannah (LEFT) at 15months and Ava w/raisins in mouth (RIGHT) at 13 months

We had a lot of fun but I'm wiped out! This is harder with two girls on the move!

Love,
All of us

Some fun things:

We've had a lot of rain lately. This has kept us inside more than we'd like, but the dogs love it! They get to come in more and snuggle (usually on the floor) but after a good bath I let them on the furniture. I even let them lay at the foot of the bed one night. They were REALLY excited. It was so funny!

Abbey and Jersey snuggling together (very rare!)(above) Chris took Hannah to a Children's Magic Festival put on by the community. It was great for he and Hannah to have a 'date night' but it was a little too loud for her. She sat like this most of the night.

The other day Ava finished her dinner and was drinking her milk. I heard Hannah laughing and saying "Ava is silly." I looked over to find Ava dosing off...but still drinking her milk! Lol!

My belly is growing but I haven't really popped out yet. So it's that awkward stage where you are starting to show...but don't really look pregnant. I can't feel the baby moving yet, but I know I will very soon. I felt Hannah at 21wks and Ava at 17wks. This Thursday I'll be 15wks and we will find out the gender November 5th. So things are about to get interesting!

By God's grace we've all been healthy and we are praying for many more healthy days as we enter this flu season.

Lots of Love,

Kate

Hannah Sayings

Here are some funny things she has said lately:

-After almost every meal she'll stand up and say "Look my stomach is big and full."

-She saw a skeleton costume and said "I want to be an XRay!"

-She always climbs up next to me when I'm eating a snack and almost always asks to share. The other day I was eating avocado slices and she climbed up next to me, looked in the bowl and said "oh, don't worry I don't want to eat your boogers."

-"Mom your bed is so big it can hold everybody. My bed is little-big."

She's so funny :-)

Fair on the Square

Each year on the first weekend of October Huntsville has Fair on the Square. Here we are:
Hannah (3yrs) Ava (1yr) Me(13 wks pregnant) & Chris
I love going. I don't get to browse as much as I'd like with the girls but it's still a lot of fun! This year my sister came with us so Hannah had lots of fun with her Aunt Amy. We had a MOPs booth this year where parents could change diapers and then a little privacy area for nursing moms. Lots of people got good use out of our area (including me). The girls had a lot of fun (Ava was asleep most of the time).
They loved the puppets. Ava cracked up when she saw them.
Ava is starting to walk. She usually takes three steps and then stops-falls-gets up and takes three more. She LOVES to dance but will never dance much on camera. (excuse me talking in the background)


The weather has been great this weekend and we are loving it! I hope you enjoyed the pictures.

With Love,
Kate
