Winter Weather

Today, we ate ice cream at the beach (in January!!).

It was a little chilly (temp of 70) with the wind but Corban still ran to get in the water. After a week of high's in the 80's and Abigail wearing her sweatshirt zipped all the way up and saying "I so cold", today she happily dug in the sand and got soaking wet!

Last Week

feeding flamingos at Jungle Island







Last Friday night, Corban and Daddy had a "guys night" (they were both SO excited!) and went to the family dinner & movie night at church. The movie was How to Train your Dragon and Chris made these shirts (with Job 41 on the back) for them to wear that night!! Corban LOVED it and when he was still wearing it Sunday morning I promised to wash it carefully but he had to put on a different shirt.

And Abigail and I watched Sleeping Beauty together.




Saturday, we went to a new park for a picnic lunch and fun at the playground!

31 weeks

According to my weekly update, " your baby weighs 3.75 pounds and is about 16.7 inches long....she'll gain a third to half of her birth weight during the next 7 weeks as she fattens up for survival outside the womb. She now has toenails, fingernails, and real hair...Her skin is becoming soft and smooth as she plumps up in preparation for birth."

Abigail saw Chris taking my picture and insisted that she also needed pictures taken!






A few times, Abigail has stuck out her belly, sucked in and said
"Look! My baby is moving!"


Throughout the day, Corban will come over to give the baby (my tummy!) a kiss or say hi! He also enjoys filling out his
The Big Sibling Book!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY!!

How did we celebrate such a FANTASTIC husband and dad?
With some of his favorite things:
activities (time with family and playing games),
eating (cake, deviled eggs, Pendrak muffins),
presents, singing, and lots of LOVE!

arcade games!












Abigail wanted to try the horse too, but was not happy about it when it started to gallop

talking to Chuck E.

After Chuck E. Cheese's, the girls went home while Chris and Corban (who is officially 4 1/2 now!) went to see Hubble 3D at the Imax theater. They said it was so neat and their favorite part was watching an astronaut make a floating sandwich!
Then we finished the birthday extravaganza at Chili's for dinner!

We love you!!

With a little Salt & Lime

We started Chris's birthday celebration on Thursday with dinner at our favorite Mexican restaurant! It didn't go quite as planned (we got rained out of our first table on the patio) but it was still a fun night of singing, sombrero's and guacamole!

Crunchy Munchy

We made a yummy snack for the MOM's meeting at church this week!

My friend Julie, has the full story (and some more pictures) on how we made the treat on her blog.Measuring and some "quality control" tasting!

Out and About

Sunday, we headed to Las Olas Blvd., walked through the art festival again and then had lunch outside at Cheesecake Factory where we could still see the art booths and people watch (I think we saw as many dogs being pushed in strollers as children!).

Then we walked along the Riverfront listening to live jazz music as we made our way to the science museum,

where we had ice cream,





and then went inside for the "rocket launch" and to look at the space/planets section
(Corban is very interested in all things space right now!).

Abigail and her new tricycle!

She likes pushing it herself, having us push her, ringing the bell, choosing which toys to bring along in the back basket,

and sometimes even pedaling herself!











Rocket Man











In the afternoon, we walked around the Las Olas art festival. These huge, moving head animals were the children's favorite!
