Fall Time

One thing is for sure Illinois has a beautiful fall. I didn't get to see it much last year cause I was inside with Abbi since she was so small. This fall has been beautiful and Abbi loves playing in the leaves. In fact she just loves being outside.



Everything is going well up here. Tyler has completed 1 of his classes this semester, it was a mini term, so now he has 3 mre to finish up. Things at the church are going well. We are getting ready for our big Christmas party for the youth. I think we are going to do a progressive dinner this year so that some of the youth get to know some of the older, "wiser" people in the congregation. Abbi is growing like a weed. She is learning small little words and pronouncing them better now. She has 4 teeth in now....however it is not the 2 middle top and 2 middle bottom like you would expect. Instead she has 2 middle bottom and her 2 "Eye teeth" (Fangs) it is so cute when she smiles she looks like a hillbillie. (Texas roots)



We miss everyone back home and hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Stop for a moment to thank God for all the blessings He has given you this year. Every breath is a gift from God he deserves all the glory.



Enjoy the pictures and videos







Leaves!!



"What is that??"

Fun at the park

Abbi's 1st birthday party

Well I have been trying to get a video to load of her 1st birthday that showed how Daddy helped Abbi get started on the cake eating. However, I think it is to big of a file so if anyone would like to see it they can email me @ servantgirl4him@yahoo.com and I will try and send it that way.

Abbi is 1 year old! She had a great birthday party and got a lot of clothes which was good. Now she doesn't have to keep going around naked...just kidding. Below are some pictures of her birthday party since most of you were not able to make it (I'll adlib some of her thoughts as always).

"Hello, is anyone there?"

"Look now I can help clean....yeah right! =)"

"Want some mommy?"
"Ick, what is on my hand?"

"Cheese"
"Mmmm Good cake!"

"I hate this thing on my head!"

Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to Abbi,
Happy Birthday to you!
(You know yall were all singing as you read that!)
Birthday girl
Watch as daddy shoves my face into the cake =)
Well that is all for now I will keep trying to get the other one to load.
