September and October 2010

It wasn't easy coming back to the intense (as my friend calls it...) Louisi'sauna' weather. Although Abby would cry to go "home" on occasion for the first few weeks, it was nice to be in our own home again. Nate had to work 2x a week, but otherwise still had a week off from school, so we were very lazy and loved it :) Once he started back though, Abby and I got back into our routine of keeping busy. We hit the zoo, a museum, the local parks, and thrift stores for "treasures." We also babysat quite a bit, which Abby loved.

The 30th was our 5 year anniversary, for which Nate and I planned a get-a-way to Natchitoches. We stayed in a beautiful bed and breakfast on the river, and spent an afternoon touring an old plantation. It was great, and I find myself just falling more and more in love with this man. :)

In October, while we were out treasure hunting in the thrift stores, I picked up a little job working at one for store credit. It was sooo much fun! The boss was fabulous, hilarious, sweet and fun to work for, and I'd sort, clean and hang baby clothes while Abby ran around me, playing and discovering. We both loved "going to work" and it was great for me to get out at 7 + months along. :)
Abby had her first visit to the dentist. She was so brave and it was fun to see her as such a 'big girl.'
Halloween was a blast this year. We had two big events, the downtown trick-o-treating and dog show one night, and our ward's trunk-or-treat the next, so we dressed Abby up as a pirate for one, and a pink kitty cat for the next. It was so fun to dress her up, she's growing so fast!!!

Ready for the dentist

She was so brave :)

She was in total awe with this freaky Dracula :)
