Not Pleased to See Santa

Abbey was totally fine with Santa when we first walked in, but we had to wait about 5 minutes before the photographer was ready since she was dealing with the customers before us. Long story short, Abbey continued to bury her head in my shoulder deeper and deeper the longer Santa chatted with her. We tried a couple of different poses, but even with Santa completely behind his chair Abbey would not calm down to take a photo. So, she had her photo taken with me next to their pretty Christmas trees, and with Santa far behind us in the background!

Play Date Pictures

Just some pictures from the last play date at our house. This is Abbey with Connor Brewster...can you believe he is only 6 months old? BIG BOY!
This is Abbey and her friend Ava, who is 18 months old. Just chillin' after running around!

November!

A few more pictures of Abbey and me on Halloween. I posted three since neither of us took a good picture, and in the last one you get a closer look at Peter's pumpkin. My pumpkin was an alien and Peter's was a Devil Kitty (possibly inspired by Frankie?).




Abbey loves to roam around outside, and we have finally been getting "normal" Georgia weather, 60's and low 70's. She especially likes to play Peekaboo around our neighbor's For Sale signs in their yard.



This last picture is a Box Turtle that I saved while outside yesterday. I was with Abbey and kept hearing this scratching sound in one of our hanging empty flower pots. I was expecting something to jump out at me once I lowered it, but low and behold a turtle had fallen in! I am very happy to report that the turtle ran off unharmed into our back bushes.

Happy Halloween!

Just a hippie and her black panther...I mean, Black Kitty.

Play Time!

Just some photos of Abbey at various play dates these past two weeks. The first four were taken on a chilly morning at Central Park, a playground about 10 minutes away with a lot of "big toys" (not sure if they are called that anymore...).



This was a "Dog Cleaning Station" at a place called Imaginations at Play. Abbey ended up getting her Halloween top soaked!


The last photos were taken at "Catch Air", a very large children's play area filled with large blow up castles, balls, and pretty much anything a kids would want to play with. She had a great time!

Abbey woke up from her nap in a very good mood. Check out her you tube channel for some various videos before and after she woke up, titled "Waking Up Slowly" and "Caged Frankie".

The Prettiest Pumpkin at the Pumpkin Patch

We went to the pumpkin patch this morning, and as far as we could tell Abbey really enjoyed herself. It definitely felt like fall; it was in the 50's and windy, which is actually January weather for Georgia. She is really into just running around wide open spaces, so when it was time to get her on the hayride or keep her out of the way of other people, she would fuss until we put her down again. I don't think she cared too much about the pumpkins, but Peter and I both picked out one to carve later tonight.
