This pic was on Thanksgiving Day, Abbey wanted her picture taken:)

One happy little boy(most days that is)



Abbey chillin' in her Dora chair




Gavin LOVES his bouncy seat




Nice, warm, and cozy in the snowsuit

Abbey thought that she needed to follow Matt while he was mowing the leaves up in the yard

Sorry for the delay in posting again, November has been a busy month. The wedding was the first week of the month and the week after that we started potty training Abbey and it has all gone downhill from there. I don't have many pictures from the wedding yet as I didn't remember to take my camera with when we went into downtown Grand Rapids to the Van Andel Museum to take pictures, but as soon as I get them from Shari's sister I will post some more pictures.

Gavin Matthew

One happy little boy




Watching Dora with my big sister
He is an unusual baby-he loves to have his diaper changed. That is when we can ususually get him to smile the most.






















Baptism was on September 14

















Cousin Paige holding Gavin for the first time










Daddy, Abbey and Gavin




















This is our favorite picture-he looks like he is praying.



























Daddy, Mommy and Gavin













Abbey's first time seeing her little brother. She wasn't quite sure what to think but she didn't want to take him home:)































Gavin was born this summer on August 5. He is the first grandson on Matt's side of the family(there are 5 granddaughters). He has grown a lot since then and is now 3 months old.

Abbey Rose

Abbey had to try on her dress this week for the wedding which is on Friday the 7th of November. Abbey is in her "Aunt" Shari's wedding along with me(Kim) and she is very excited. We will have more pictures of the wedding next week.


Abbey sitting on our newly carpeted stairs. Now she is less likely to get hurt when she conveniently falls down them because she doesn't watch where she is going.




Abbey thinks that is it funny to put a pull-up on her head.












Matt gave Abbey a bath and spiked her hair:)








Trial run with the curlers for the wedding.










































































Here are some pics of Abbey-some are from her birthday this summer. She got the Dora birthday party that she wanted:) We had a slight accident the day of Abbey's birthday party. It involved Abbey's head, a swing, and Abbey's cousin Paige. Needless to say, Abbey liked having a Dora band-aid on her forehead. Matt put a swing up in the tree in our front yard for Abbey this summer as well. She absolutely loves it and still wants to go out and swing now when it is cold and rainy.
