I love my view

This is the view out of my house. The one with the dogs in it is looking out off the front porch. The others are out the back yard. The one of the big tree and the one of the oak tree is what I see out my bedroom window. It is awesome!

Aunt Ramai and Uncle Carlos came to visit. Abrielle got to meet Navi. As you can see, she really enjoyed looking at her. She also loves to hear the monkeys on her mobil. You should see the face she makes, it is so funny. She stops kicking, makes this funny face then gets really excited.

What did Santa Bring?

What did Santa bring me this year? I sure think she is cute. She actually spent most of the day in the stocking, she seemed to really like it, and it kept her warm. It the craziness of the move I could not find her Christmas dress we got her. So that made me a little upset. Oh well. We had a great day and as you can see Abrielle slept through most of it.

Laugh

Doesn't this picture just make you laugh. Grandma Moro dug out all the baby stuff she saved. This little outfit Abrielle has on was something I used to wear. I think she looks like a little elf in it. It makes me laugh.

These are pictures from our Christmas tree hunting adventure. It was awesome. The snow was so deep. It was hard choosing a tree because there was so much snow on the trees. We got ourselves a good one!

Slacker!!

OK, I am sorry I am such a slacker. I look at all your blogs and you guys are all so up to date with things. I have had a hard time keeping my head above water it seems. We finally moved into our house, the Thursday before Christmas. It was awesome. The first night in, it had snowed a couple of inches that day so there was snow on the trees. That night going to bed there was a full moon, or at least almost a full moon. It was so beautiful looking out our big bedroom window at the snow covered trees lit up by the moon. It was breathtaking. My goal was met. To be in my house by Christmas and the first piece of furniture would be my Christmas tree. I will post a couple pictures of the house and tree as soon as I get my act together. It seems that every day has been filled with so much work moving into the house. Before I know it, it is time for dinner and another day gone. I do not make it much past dinner time, I am ready for bed shortly after but try to keep myself awake until Abrielle's last feeding of the night. We do not have Internet at our house yet, so I have to remember to bring my camera to my parents house so I can put some pictures on. Hope all is going well, Happy New Year and hope you had a great HOLIDAY season. love ya all.

What is wrong with this picture?

Caneel was so cute when she laid down in Abrielle's bed. Caneel had been walking all over the house trying to find a place to lay down. Later, I found out her bed had been put up where she could not lay on it. She smelled Abrieel's bed, then gently stepped into the basket. She walked in circles and then gently laid down. I really did not think she would lay down. I thought it was cute. Anyway, just a little funny moment for me.

Thanksgiving weekend

What a great weekend it was!! We started getting to spend a short visit with Brent's family. Cassie was in town, so Abrielle got to meet her for the first time. Thursday we got on the air plane to go to Nebraska for the weekend. My good friend from college got married. It was a very beautiful wedding. It was awesome to get to see Kari, although I was not much help to her this trip, Sorry. It was good to be there though. It was great! While holding my little miracle in arms I was able to witness another miracle. God's hand bringing two wonderful people together and making them one in marriage. It was a very emotional weekend for me to get to see Kari's path cross with Shade's in marriage. He is an amazing man of God. I am not sure I have ever been to a wedding where it is as evident as this one that the groom is in love with his bride like Shade is with Kari. It is so exciting to watch God's provision. Abrielle got to experience her first snow! Once again, as always my husband received so many compliments about how great of a husband and dad he is. It is so exciting to hear people recognize that in him. Here are just a couple pics of us in Nebraska.

All Wrong

Thanks to everyone who voted on the poll. Sorry to say, you are all wrong!! I knew Abrielle was growing fast but I was in for a surprise when the nurse said, "8 lbs, 5 oz." I think I asked the doctor like three or four times if that was ok. That means she gained three lbs total since she came home from the hospital. I was freaking out a little. I already have this fear that I am going to miss something with her growing because she would grow up too fast. It was almost a realization of my fear. I guess it could be A LOT worse. Have a great Thanksgiving everyone! We all have so much to be thankful for. Praise God, for every good and perfect gift comes from Him!
