Happy Turkey Day!

This year, more than ever, we have so much to be thankful for.

• Our family - some far and some near, all are very dear in our hearts
• Our friends, new and old, who have been such a support to us
• Our church family and faith, both of which have grown this year
• Our home and community and the comforts we enjoy
• Our jobs and working for a company for which we can be proud
• Our country, and the freedoms and opportunities it offers
• Annabel's birth family who are never far from our thoughts
• And the biggest blessing in our lives, our sweet Annabel.

Happy Thanksgiving Morning!

9 months old!

To celebrate my 9 month birthday, mommy and daddy took me to the doctor for a flu shot. I think there needs to be some retraining on what birthdays mean!

I'm now almost 22 pounds, so that means I get to move up to my big comfy carseat. It's kind of like a recliner! I can't wait to ride in style.

I'm finally over my nasty stomach bug - it lasted a whole week! Mommy and daddy got sick too. The doctor says I can start eating yogurt and lots of other fun foods, so bring it on! I'm still working on my crawling - can't quite get it yet, but I've mastered pulling up and holding on.

Who's locked up here?

Am I in jail or is Sophie?

This is what happens when backwards scooching is your specialty!

Trick or Treat!

Happy Halloween everyone!

Next year I'll be hitting you up for candy!
