Family Pictures

This past weekend we got together and took some family pictures to use with our Christmas cards this year. We have not had any family pictures made since Abby was born! Shame on me I know...

I had a park in Tomball all picked out for where I wanted to go. There is an old train station there with a caboose and a gazebo and they had already put up a gigantic Christmas tree! In my head I had some great poses picked out. Now when it comes to taking pictures, especially if I am in them, I am way overly critical. Happy about it or not, this is the way I look right now and the magic of the camera is not going to change that! By not taking pictures, I am only depriving Abby of those memories for later on and that's not fair to her. On another note, God decided to bless us with some rain on Sunday afternoon and we could not get the shots I really wanted. However, the ones we did get came out great (even with me in them) and I am excited to put them in our Christmas cards this year!

Here are a few of my favorites:




Despite the weather, Miss Abby was all smiles!






Christmas is only 37 Days Away!! I am ready!

Moving On

We have officially moved out! Last weekend Brandon and I moved into our new home and left the old one behind. With the exception of some cleaning and scrubbing we are done. I know that the purchase of our first home is special and we will have lots of memories there, but I am sad to leave the old one behind. For me it will always be our first home.

Some good memories:
