Or should we sign this kid up for some art classes? (I'm talking about the drawing vs. the painting :])
I'm a little afraid I have that 'my kid is the greatest' virus that chronically infects most parents, so really do tell me if it's just me!

Playing Catch Up
I am going to be (hopefully) making some posts that should have been done this summer. But you should be aware that I am going to shamelessly back date them so I can easily find them in the future!
These trees are in a yard just down the road from us. They are gorgeous every fall and this year I managed to get a picture of them before all the leaves were gone!

Cookie Time
Having decided that:
Changing one bank account to joint (how was this not done before?), closing two other bank accounts, opening a new credit card, transferring old credit card, finishing work on photos for a large important photo client that has to be done TODAY, prepping for a large, imminent craft sale (including appliqueing 50 dish clothes among other things), trying to fix an $10 account issue with the applique website, trying to finish joining phone and internet accounts (for us the landlords who are out of the country and not able to) that have old, faulty and messed up records that an hour on the phone with customer service can't fix in order to get a monthly savings of $18 and making important decisions about it that effects the landlords while I can't be talking to everyone in real time, after starting all this: totaling my car, dealing with totaling the car, fixing insurance problems and getting police records to fax for the non-guilty party, looking for a new car, and trying to be a good mom and wife
all in one week was probably a good reason to feel a little stressed, I sat down and ate a cookie. (and complained about it in a blog)

Abigail's Hello Kitty Birthday Party
We had a lot of fun this year with Abigail's first 'all kids' party (which means most of the parents dropped their kids off). I put the pictures in an album and did most of the explaining there. So, click on the picture to go see them!

IT'S A.....
GIRL!
We had a great ultrasound appointment yesterday and everything with baby girl looks great! She was moving around quite a bit and it was so fun to see her kicking her legs and moving her arms around. She did decline to turn on her side and give us a profile shot of her face, which was a little disappointing, but here is her foot and face:
Abigail is very happy that she is getting a sister and almost just as happy that she was right it is a girl- being right and winning is a very important thing these days. So now, supposedly, we can start talking about names, but don't be surprised if we don't decide for a long time. I promise when we know, we'll let you know! Abigail is currently rooting for the names Candy or Elizabeth (her good friend at school is Elizabeth, as is my friend Rachael's 7 month old, who we hang out with a lot. We also have a lot of other Elizabeths near and dear to our hearts, but they are known to Abigail by their shortened names).
One reason I am happy it is a girl is that we get to use all our cute girl clothes again. :)
Hey, we also got to go to the beach this weekend!! It was such a great time and we were so thankful to have the chance to go. We stayed in a condo in Destin, Florida, which is directly south of here but doesn't have a major highway to get Alabamians there. For some reason, they built the highway going directly to the Alabama gulf coast! :) It was a beautiful weekend (much better than the previous weekend, during which the weather was controlled by tropical storm Lee- the same storm that left us without power for three days and three nights- ugh- but we were very happy for the rain!). One of Jake's clients graciously offered us their condo for the weekend, which made the trip 100% more fun! I'll put up some pictures from the trip in the next post.
