Take a Trip Tuesday

We went on our Annual Strawberry picking trip today. However today was special because Gabby got to come for the first time. I started Strawberry picking with Annie when she was three and I told her that when Gabby turned three she would get to come with us.  We had a great time. Gabby understood the difference between picking the red ones and not the green ones.

We had our traditional strawberry shortcake for lunch and now for the second year in a row we made strawberry pie! yum!

Hiatus

I've realized that since the birth of Jack I haven't blogged! I guess three kids, a full time job, husband, and ministry can keep you pretty busy. However now that our family is moving I'd love to blog to keep it as a journal of some sort for our family. As I look back at the positive done it is like looking through and old family album. I realize I've lost about 20 months, but if I continue now I know someday I'll look back, like I just did and be thankful.

Cloth diaper give away!!!

We have been cloth diapering for over a year now with Gabby and I love it!! I love encouraging other moms to try it out as well. Well here is a chance. My college friend, Jen, is having a giveaway on her blog! Check it out and good luck!! The Rieses Pieces

 

This is our Cloth Swimmy diaper

Name writing

I've been trying to teach Annie how to write her name before she begins school and so today we got a bit creative. However, now her dad wants me to show her how to write her full name instead. ;-) Her name as 9 letter but at least there are only 5 letters in it, since she has doubles. ;-)

Monthly Milestones - 8 mos

 Gabby is 8 months old!

In Gabby's 7th month...

She got her first twelve day of Christmas gift, which is our family tradition.

First Christmas

Started on her sippy cup which was in her Chrsitmas Stocking

She continues to go to anyone and loves people. She reminds me so much of her sister at this age.

She attended her first funeral for my grandpa Marguy, which the kids call VuVu. I wish he could have met my girls before he passed away, but we never made it to Conneticut. It was such a celebration of this life having all the family together and seeing all of my cousins and watching our children interact with one another.

Started crawling forward and I can't believe I don't have a video.  I have many videos where she had been crawling, but by the time I got the camera she stopped!:-(
