Happy Thanksgiving

We have so much to be thankful for this year!! I am sitting here holding our precious new baby girl and laughing at our oldest girl make jokes. We all are in good health and our together again. It's amazing how much has changed from last year this time. God has truly blessed us this year! We decided to come up to Durham this year to spend some time with our family. I promise to update with pics when we get back. We have been so busy with getting our house ready to sell. We put it on the market eariler this week.

We love you all and wish you a Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Three Months Old

I can't believe that our little one is three months old. Here are some cute pictures that I took yesterday morning. She has been laughing and starting to grab her toys. Now if we could just get her to hold her head up more ... life would be great.

Brr....It's Chilly

Here was Lauren this morning! Sorry for the quality of the picture, I took it with my cell phone! I think I might have overdone it a bit. I just wanted her to stay warm!

Tummy Time

Here is Lauren working on tummy time on her new tummy time mat that Nana brought her this weekend...
And here is Lauren about 5 minutes into tummy time... she hates it :) What are we going to do?

Marine Corps Ball

Robbie and I went to his ball on Friday night! It made us miss our friends that have moved away or are deployed but we had a good time.

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween Everyone!! Enjoy the pics of the girls!!!

Lauren on the way to the babysitter's house

Gabbie dressed up as Wilbur the pig for her school book parade!

Gabbie as the wicked cheerleader..ain't she cute? Not so wicked!

Lauren passed out ...waiting for the trick or treaters!

Lauren mad as all get out - needless to say this costume didn't last long!

This costume (same pumpkin) worked MUCH better!

Last Soccer Game

Gabbie's last soccer game was yesterday. She won it 5-4. I wasn't able to get pictures because it was drizzling and I was trying to keep Lauren dry while watching the game. I am glad to say that soccer season is over. Now we only have dance during the week and our weekends free. It'll make for a little less running around :)

Some Pics to Get You Through

Pumpkin Patch

After we finally got Robbie awake and up and moving (remember he had duty last night - that means 24 hours of no sleep - he got about 4 hours this morning), we drove out to Back Swamp, NC (what a name) to Mike's Farm. We love going to the Haunted Hayride at Halloween and the Christmas Lights out at Mike's Farm. It is a working farm with animals and a delicious restaurant. A lot of the schools take field trips out there during kindergarten. The one thing that we had never had the time to do was to go to the pumpkin patch. You get on the hayride and they drive you out to the pumpkin patch and pick your pumpkin. It was a lot of fun.

Gabbie, Me and Lauren on the hayride. Lauren was not a happy camper but fell asleep about 2 minutes after this photo was taken.

Robbie and the sleeping Lauren.

Robbie looking at all the pumpkins

Gabbie and Robbie on the search for the perfect pumpkin.

Still searching...

Maybe they've finally found one...

They did...Gabbie showing them off...

Daddy, we did a good job!

The Family. Lauren looks awake right...she slept for the entire time we picked out the pumpkin then woke up in time for the picture...guess she knows what she's doing!
