Moving

What do you think about the Sunshine State?

I personally don't know much - other than it's sunny, hot and humid.

Oh, and there's Disney World.

And, lots of beaches!

Well, we're going to know a lot more about the state come next year.

Our family will be moving to Florida around November 2014!

We received orders that when Aaron returns from his remote tour (one year) we'll be moving as a family near Tampa, FL.

Crazy!

We are full of mixed emotions - but mostly holding on to the excitement of something new.

And family and friends, we hope you visit!

Stay in touch with us, so I can keep you posted as next year approaches and any other news or updates come about.

Love,

e-mail updates

Hi blog readers!

Some of you receive emails from me when I post new content on my blog. 

I send those emails from my personal email. 

I'm no longer going to send those "update" emails to you.

One, it takes time for me to do that each time.

Two, with a newborn on the way - I'll need all the extra time I can get!

Three, I post periodically.  I don't want to bombard you with emails from me.

If you want to stay up to date with my blog - and our family - please add my blog web address (http://abbyattheateam.blogspot.com/) to your "favorites" so that it's easy for you to check my blog when you want.

OR - you can add your email address into the "Follow by Email" on my main page (right hand side).  Follow the steps (it's easy) and you'll get an automatic email sent to you each time I post something new. 

Thanks for understanding.

We hope you keep reading!

Riley at the zoo

One day last week, Aaron and I took Riley to the zoo.

I know I've posted "zoo" pictures before - so I won't post too many.

Here are a couple of cute pics of Riley...

 
 
 
 

Here is Riley's favorite animal of the day...

 

Here is Riley feeding some goats...

 
 
Riley's face after the goat nibbled her hand while eating!
 
We love going to the zoo!

big girl bed

I never posted pics of Riley's "big girl" bed.

We converted her crib early March sometime.

She has done awesome in her bed since day one.

I think waiting until she was closer to 3 years old was key for us.

We're going to keep her in this for awhile longer (at least a year) before going straight to a twin bed later.

She's happy in her bed!

As long as she's happy, we're not in a rush to move her up.

I thought it about time to post a pic to share with you all!



Notice all of her "friends?"

Riley loves her stuffed animals!

baby's gender revealed...

The secret is out!
 
It's a...
 
BOY!
 
I am happy.
 
Aaron is really happy.
 
In this house of all girls...he's excited to have a boy!
 
Riley is happy too.
 
She's just happy to be a big sister!
 
Here is our baby boy at 20 weeks gestation.

We love our baby boy already!
 
 

new purse & new kitchen

Here's Riley...again.
 
I took these last week sometime.
 
She got a fun little "Minnie" purse to decorate for her birthday!




She also got a kitchen from Mommy & Daddy!
 
This was her "big" gift from us!








Mmmm...plastic grapes.
 
So.  Good.

playing & dancing

One day last week I got some pics of Riley playing on the porch.
 
She was being so silly and dancing like a goof!
 
Too cute not to share...
