4 months already

This time last year we had no idea that this smiling little girl would be joining our little family.

And yet in the blink of an eye she is 4 months old.

So Cute I Could Gobble Her Up!

We have so much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. Barker and I feel blessed beyond belief. And a special thanks go out to our friend Rebekah Louis for making Audrey this adorable little outfit for her first Thanksgiving.

New Naptime Habit

I think her friend Henry taught her a little something.

Oops...

It was Barker's job to undress Audrey while I started her bath. Guess I took a little too long getting her bath ready. Oopsie.

I just love their expressions.

Fredericksburg 2008

So far we have been lucky enough to find time to make it to Fredericksburg every year since we started dating. We always stay at a different cabin. This year we chose Weirich Farms and Audrey and my dad joined us.

It's a 40 acre ranch that's home to tons of deer and countless antiques.






The cabin was the orginial bakery in Fredericksburg, built in 1850.


Audrey was all buckled in and ready to go. I got her a new toy to make the 3 hour trip more fun. She did really well. I was happily surprised.




It was so nice to look out the windows and see up to 25 deer.

One morning I got up and there were 3 no more than 10 feet from the window.

View from the back porch.

The ranch cat, Catsa, loved Audrey.

We also did a ton of shopping at the little shops and the antique trade days. They had craft booths set up with tons of adorable kid stuff. Audrey got some cute hand made items like bows, blankies and a sleeping bag and pillow. I think the custom kid stuff was the best part of the trip.

Audrey was quite a hit. Barker couldn't hardly take a step with out someone stopping him to tell him how cute Audrey is. Not a bad problem to have I suppose.




One of the neat antiques we picked up is this rocking horse for Audrey.

It came from an estate sale in Sweden. It dates back to the turn of the century.

We also got her an antique pram, or I think some people call them baby buggies. I didn't get a picture of it. It's still at my dad's but I hope to get it ready and in her room before too long. It's too cute.

One of the best things about going down there is the food. The restaurants are amazing. We always visit The Cotton Gin. So I fed Audrey before we left and also took a bottle along, just in case. Well she decided she wanted the extra bottle and I think she ended up eating quite a bit. She looked like she had just finished her 3rd plate at Thanksgiving dinner. She was totally milk drunk. It was too funny.
Funny, I don't think I've ever seen her look more like her daddy.

She got a little bored on the way home so Barker came to her rescue.

He found some Yo Gabba Gabba on his Iphone and about 45 seconds of that made things better.

All and all it was a great trip.

Jump around


We tested out the doorway jumper this weekend.
She liked the jumping and the taste of the fabric.

Hunter's 9th Birthday

Hunter had his 9th birthday this weekend. We started off at his football game before we went to Raymond and Laurie's house for a cook out.

His MiMi gave him a weenie dog for his birthday. I hate weenie dogs but luckily, no animal lasts very long around that house.

Our Honey Bunny

We started out Halloween by taking our lil' one to the Dr for her 3 month check up. Audrey is 11 1/2 pounds and 24 inches.

Getting ready to change.


Then we headed out to trick or treat with our cousins.
