Whoa...long time no blog!!

Hey everyone! Sorry for the huge gap in blogging about the family. We have had so many things going on lately and I am, sorry to say, very lazy when it comes to blogging :-/.

Well in the past couple of months we've had Abigael turn the big One and had an addition to our extended family! Abigael had her first birthday on August 16th and we had a little party in her honor. She loved all of the attention being on her! She also loved the cake :) Abigael was being quite the little lady and eating her cake a little bit at a time, but then daddy decided she wasn't being messy enough and covered her face in frosting! All together it was a great weekend and Abigael is already in love with her new toys. My mom was able to come down and spend the weekend with us which was very special. She hadn't seen Abigael since the wedding in May and babies grow so much in such a short amount of time.

Next up came the new addition to our family! My sister in law, Michal, was gracious enough to last all of the way until September 2nd to have her beautiful little girl. We were hoping she would make it past Abigael's birthday and boy did she!! I travelled up to Dallas last week to help out Josh and Michal with baby prep and babysitting. I got to take care of my nephew Ethan while they were in the hospital with pretty Eliana. I also got to be one of the first people to hold my new little niece! My mom is so jealous I'm sure ;) Eliana is so beautiful and an exact image of Michal. Everything went so smoothly and they are happy and healthy. After the week though, I was sure missing my family and was happy to be going home to see them.

So here we are back home and back into our daily routines. I love having our family to come home to. Check out Michal's blog for more info and pictures of the new baby:)
