Twick O Fweeting at Daddy's Office

We made the long trek up to Daddy's main office for some twick o fweeting ( Avery's approximation) fun.  We scored a big load of candy, had some yummy snacks, and received a goody bag.  Avery didn't want to dress up as Tigger at first-she wanted to be a kitty cat.  But, with a little Mommy magic, she was soon on board.  She hopped around and said, "Hello buddy boy!"  Abby was a Tulip Fairy and oh so precious!

A Trip to the Seaside

Our family took a much needed weekend away a few weekends ago.  We found a darling little cottage by the sea that we rented for the weekend.  It was great!!!  Everyone had their own room, it was stocked with toys, snacks, movies, On-Demand, a pool table, the beach was 100 feet away, and it was only an hour away from home.  We had such a fun and relaxing time as a family.  I'm hoping we can make it an annual event.

Abby liked the beach too!

The Third Annual Meyer Family Pumpkin Patch Extravaganza

 

This year we had to find a new pumpkin patch to visit, because the one we used to go to is now 2 hours away.  We had fun, but our old patch was so much better!  This one didn't have any animals or a pumpkin cannon and everyone and their cousin was at this one.  Next year we'll find a super fantastic one.

So, taking a family picture these days is an interesting feat.  I don't think we have a single picture of all four of us smiling.  We'll see what our Christmas card turns out like!  Here's the saga of trying to get a perfect family pic.  As you can see, we have one main culprit.

 

Every pumpkin turned into a seat for Avery!

Photo Shoot at Grandpa & Grandma's

So, once again I'm apologizing for not
posting for so long. Here's the latest on our family. Abby is now fully mobile (read crawling like a speedster) and a total Mama's girl. This makes it really hard to get much done during the day, but also so sweet to have someone love you so much. :) She loves playing with all toys (much to her big sister's dismay). Avery's sentences continue to get longer and more complex. She loves telling you all about the world around her and makes observations that astound me. She also is quite the little parrot, so we've quit saying things like, "Shoot!" and "Dang it!" because they sound awful coming out of a 2-year-old's mouth. My two favorite sayings she's picked up recently are, "Sure do!" and "Whoa, that close!" We're working A LOT on sharing, especially with her sister. This is a really fun time with both my girls and I'm loving being a mommy of two.
My dad's quite the photographer and while we were at my parent's house in September, he took A LOT of pictures of us. These are just a few.
What a sweet little Abby Doodle! She sure does love her Mommy.

I'm a happy girl as long as my Mommy is holding me.
Oh, look-a rock!!!

She's such a big girl!

This is the face you get when you tell her to say, "Cheese!"
