Cookies

I seem to have a sweet tooth for warm chocolate chip cookies or oreos and milk. In fact I am about to get up and make some cookies right now but thought I needed to add a quick update for all my blogging buddies. Brogan is moving like crazy these days and what makes me the most sad is that Bucher can't feel her like I can...He can feel her but not as well. I guess the further along I get the more he will be able to feel her. I feel great...I am having some indigestion issues but other than that this pregnancy thing has been pretty easy. I am definitely the one that all the others hate. We are looking forward to the Razorback game this Saturday. A little tailgating never hurt anyone! Go Hogs! P.S. I am loving this weather!!! I hope it sticks around for awhile!!!

New Beginnings

So it has been awhile, to say the least. We bought a new house and now we are having a baby! Pretty big news if you ask me! We are really really excited about both of these new ventures in our lives! We are having a little girl and I am due on Dec. 24th. Her name is Brogan Lane Bucher. My cousin in Texas has a friend named Brogan and we just really liked that name. Especially b/c it is so different. We are working on planning her room right now. I am having a really hard time with it b/c i want it to be as cute as it can be! If you know me, then you know I am anal about these things and this decision is a hard one. We registered yesterday at Babies-R-Us. It was fun picking out all the cute little things. We just can't wait to meet her.

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???

My Hubby

I just want everyone to know how much I love my husband!!! Sometimes I don't feel like I tell him enough how appreciated he is and how happy I am that I am married to him!!! But I do and I am!!! I am TOTALLY, UTTERLY, and FANATICALLY in LOVE with my husband!!! I miss you honey...I will see you soon!!!

Hectic...

I know it's been a while since my last blog. It's hard to remember to try and keep this thing up to date. Since the last post what has been happening around here??? Hmmm, let's see...The Cubs clinched the National League Central Division (I think it's central) and Bucher and I have started working at the go cart track for Jim in Conway. Literally I have seen my husband for a total of like 30 min. since Tuesday. I forgot to mention that on Wednesday nights, Bucher bowls and I normally work late so he doesn't get home until like 9:30 or 10 and I am usually watching my shows or going to bed, Thursday nights I am babysitting until 10 and he is in the bed by then, Friday night he works and doesn't get home until 12:45...Seriously hectic around here lately but as soon as the track closes for the season it will all be boring again with nothing to do. Oh, My, I totally forgot to tell you that my friend Kelly who is adopting finally got "The Call"...She leaves on Thursday Oct. 2...She will be gone for 2 weeks to Vietnam...This is a really exciting moment in her life and I am so glad to be a part of it. Okay, so that's enough to swallow for now. I will try to be more prompt on blogging but as you can see, I don't get to look at the computer very much anymore! Kisses, AB

My Precious Babies

I want to introduce my two very precious loves!!! Dots is 2 1/2 years old and was a wedding present from my Hubby. Stuart "followed" my little brother home and I decided he needed to come live with me! These two have really taken to each other. I am surprised at how Dottie Mae has accepted Stuart Ransom Miller the 2nd into her life. Stuart acts a lot like Dottie Mae. Maybe growing up with a dog has made him act like a dog. I don't know, but I do know one thing...They Light Up My Life!!!
