End of October 2010 - Abigail at 9 months

Hello all. Well, the weather has finally turned here in PA and I, for one, am glad. We have also made it through the AYSO soccer season with Madi and Andrew. They both had a good time. School continues to go pretty well for both Madi and Andrew. We did go out for trick or treat...Madi was a Walking Doodle and Andrew dressed like Philip Rivers - as an aside, last year, my brother-in-law used a connection he had to let Philip Rivers know that there was a little boy whose father was in Afghanistan who asked for his jersey for Christmas and Philip Rivers signed a small helmet for him. We have been fans ever since.


This was a big month of firsts for Abigail. She got her first tooth, she took her first steps and she learned how to climb the stairs. This has made it much more challenging to keep up with her and get things done :)

Here are some pictures. The first is of her standing in the dining room after playing with one of her toys.


The next is one of her playing with pans in the kitchen so I can sneak some time to make dinner and know where she is.


Andrew and I still play slow motion football in the living room while football is one sometimes, this one is of Abigail getting in on the action.


All of this new activity has forced the placement of gates. Here is a picture of Abigail doing an inspection.


Things are very busy but continue to go pretty well. November will bring new activities for the kids and the start of the Holidays. We are looking forward to them.

I hope this post finds you well. Please provide any updates and keep in touch. Take care. Until next time....
