Barber Shop

Here's a new trick this week. :)


His hair before.....

Pete and I decided that Peter's comb over had gone a little too far and that a trip to Ramon was due. Ramon is the barber that gave Pete and all his brothers their first haircut and is still cutting today. It was too funny. It was right in the middle of nap time so he got a little grouchy near the end. He didn't like us holding his head still. Here are a few shots...



We had to put a towel over the cape because Peter kept slobbering on everything.

Loving the weather!

Well my posts seem to be getting further apart but I just didn't take many pictures this last week and wasn't sure what to write about. The change in weather has been sooo refreshing though. I am loving spending more time outside. Except for the allergies the cooler days bring, it is perfect here. Peter was supposed to get his pictures taken Thursday by the same ladies who took my pictures when I was pregnant. (This was in APRIL..no I am NOT pregnant again..lol)
But one of them called and said she forgot about a Dr.'s appointment she had and we'd have to reschedule. I was kind of glad because the day before Peter made a huge scratch on his face and had a stuffy nose so he was a little grouchy. The ladies are awesome though they just bring everything to the church and set it up there and do it all for free. It is just their passion and a huge blessing to us. Other things this week.....we have recently started trying cereals with Peter. Here is a few pictures of a typical mealtime. So much more complicated than milk..lol..but fun.



This week I started looking for an exersaucer because they have one in our church nursery and Peter really likes it. I finally found one on Craig's list that was in good used shape but cheap and had farm animals too...(Peter is going to think that the only animals in the world are cows, horses, pigs and dogs. :) It was a good buy.


Other than that Pete and I went to the Poteet Homecoming game last night. I got to see quite a few of my old students and introduce the baby to them. They beat Pleasanton which was a surprise for everyone..I was so proud. Everyone was ragging on us for sitting on the Poteet side...I will always be a Poteet Aggie fan.


Have a great week! abby

Yee Haw!

Hello Everyone! This week has been a little busy so I haven't posted as much as I would like. But here's a quick run through. Peter got his second round of shots on Friday, which always throws him off a little. He is up to a whopping 17 lbs now. :) He had been sleeping through the night until a couple of weeks ago and then he started waking up to eat in the middle of the night again. Dr. Purnell said he was probably ready for cereal. It hasn't seemed to help because the last two nights he has woken up three or four times! :( Ugh...I haven't dealt with that since he was two weeks old. Anyway hopefully we will get it figured out quickly.

We were over at some friends house Saturday and the lady we were visiting asked me if I had a jumper for Peter. I said oh yes, we got it for a shower gift but it is still in the garage in the box. She said "You need to get that thing out. He is ready for it!" I guess I still think of him as being so little. I hadn't even thought twice about him being ready for it. It is huge and taking up a valuable 9 sq. feet of our tiny living room but he loves it so much. He wore himself out this morning so much that when I put him in his bed for a nap he didn't make a peep. Just closed his eyes and gave in. Here is a quick video of him in action.


Other good news is that I have a real estate closing this week. Always exciting...and we also started our discipleship classes up again yesterday. I really missed my group and am so glad to be back. We are studying the names of God this semester and I am just looking forward to knowing more of His character through this study. Until next time...have a good day!

Friends, Friends, and More Friends

We had a busy week this week but so nice. We got to see so many of our friends! The earlier part of the week we got to have dinner at our friends Codi and Brian's house. They have two sweet girls. Here is a picture of Peter and Presley. :) I think Peter has a crush on her already. I will go ahead and apologize Codi...lol. He's playing it cool here.
Then on Thursday, Zach and Michaela and Deacon came down to visit for Labor Day weekend. The boys are only about a month and a half apart and they were pretty funny around each other. It is so nice being around other moms. I never realized how much I would need their fellowship.
Here are some pictures of the adventures of Peter and Deacon. We wish they were still here!




And I thought I would throw in a few more of my favorites from this week......Peter and Nana..


Peter and his Gran


Have a great day!
