Too Long...

Well I guess I should start by saying that I am really not good at this blogging bit, obviously if you read my blog you have figured this out. I will strive to be better but as of now I am probably only going to be a mediocre blogger. So for starters Kelly is home with Tanner. He is so adorable and is really falling into routine of an american life quite well. I have seen him several times and He really for some reason loves bucher...I don't know why...he even reached for him over me...which sort of hurt my feelings but I guess I will get over it. I will post a picture of him at the end of this post.
It is finally getting cold...I am happy and ready to strike up the fireplace and settle in with a warm blanket and glass of hot apple cider!!! Yum Yum!!! I love fall/winter time...So cozy!!!
I was so sad to hear about the passing of Anne Pressly. I shed a few tears b/c the thought that someone could do such a terrible thing to someone is so disgusting to me. Also, she was only 26 which is my age and I can't imagine my family having to deal with this so early in life. I am praying for her family and friends during this sad time. She was such a beautiful girl!
I was contemplating on dressing up for Halloween...I am still thinking about it but I hate Halloween, I don't like trick or treating or the scary stuff that goes on. If I were to dress up I would be the annoying 80's kid, wearing every 80's fad I could find at the same time...But this is so much trouble. I have to go to Stuttgart and I know Gere would hate it if I showed up at the game Friday night in total 80's gear...I will continue to contemplate and will keep you posted on my decision.
I guess this is all for now. Don't forget, if you LOVE Ryan Adams and the Cardinals as much as I do, the new CD "Cardinology" comes out 10/28/08. Until next time...Kisses, AB

So Many Updates, So Little Time


Okay, for starters, The Cubs lost. I'm sure this is not surprising to most but it is to me since I totally thought this was our year! It is really devastating...I cried. But I must move on. And then I remember, "There's always next year"!

Next, my friend Kelly is in Vietnam getting her son as we speak! I am super stoked about this since I have been with her thru the whole process. It has been a long one, trust me, more for her than all of us but we are excited and she is so deserving of him. She is going to be a great mom!

Now, I don't think I mentioned earlier that Stuart got stuck in a tree about a month ago. He was still really small and I had to get the ladder to rescue him, but only after I took a few photos, It was a scrapbook page waiting to happen! Here are a couple of the pictures that I got.


I like how he is totally looking at me like mom, please get me down from here!!!


Last, but certainly not least, My little girl went to the beauty shop and got a haircut and bath. Here are a few pictures of her. She totally hated the bow and pretty much didn't feel like getting her photo taken. 






So, I thought I was done. But I remembered I also took this really cute photo of them looking out the window together. They do this often, normally when I leave so they can watch me drive away or wait for me to come home. Aren't they the cutest???
