Christmas Day!

I wish you a Merry Chirstmas, I wish you a Merry Christmas! It is early and you are still in dreaming in your crib so I thought i would write you a quick note! I am so excited for you to come out and open your presents! Watching you run down the hall to the tree is going to be the best! You got so spoiled this year, just in your stocking alone! After christmas opening at home, we are off to both Grandparents houses! It will be busy for sure! I love you Ava Grace.

Christmas Eve

Our Christmas Eve service was awesome! The girls were great and of course they looked adorable! Nora was passed out all night!

Well we had our annual christmas party and it was a blast, the food was great and the white elephant gift exchange was so fun. Everyone loved seeing you and your sister in matching dresses! You were a pretty good girl all things considered! Here are a few pictures from the night! Daddy was too busy to be in any!

Snow is Falling and Friends are Calling

Snow is falling and the lights are hung on the house. I just love this time of the year! We recently put the Christmas tree up and oh you just loved helping daddy with the ornaments. We are still working on making sure you do not touch them! So far you have only broken one, which was pretty interesting considering you broke it in your mouth! I was a little worried about you swolling glass, but i got in out in time! We are getting ready for are annual Rosenberg family Christmas Party. This year is extra special because you and Nora are here to spend it with us! I know you dont understand Christmas yet, but know that you are so special to us and that everyone will be thinking of you this year! Not to much longer till we can open up all your presents!

Thanksgiving

Well Thanksgiving was extra special this year, having Nora with us gave us something extra to be thankful for! We had a great week spending time with Aunt Buffy, Uncle Gary and the girls. The girls loved seeing Nora and Ava! We had a wonderful dinner at my moms house and at Korys moms. Having two meals is always interesting! Nora wanted to nurse as soon as we sat down for dinner at the Rosenbergs so that was fun!
We went shopping the day after Thanksgiving. It was a little insane but not to bad! Ava did great, and I even picked up a few Christmas gifts for here while she was with me. I wont be able to do that for too much longer!

Big Sister !

Well Ava is offically a big sister! Nora Elizabeth arrived November 7th at 8:07 am. She weighed 7 pounds 5 ounces! I never dreamed of having a small baby because Ava was a chunker!
Ava is doing to good with Nora! She loves to kiss her head and rub her HAIR! Yes I had a baby with hair. Hard to belive I know! Here are a few pictures of our newest family member, oh how we love her!

Baby Bear

Happy Halloween!!!!

Lack of Updates!

Our broken computer equals the horrible slacking on my part for Miss Ava's blog! Kory and I are going out to get a new desktop soon! I am very happy.
Ava is getting three molars now, two on the top and one on the bottom. She is doing pretty good with them, only mildly grouchy!
Halloween is in two days. We are very excited to take her trick-or-treating to a few different places.
A week from Friday is my c-section! I really can not believe how soon it is coming up! We are praying for a safe operation and fast recovery! I myself am nervous about leaving Ava for three days!
More pictures to come soon, well as soon as we get a new computer!

A Girl and her Food

Nothing Better!

Update

Its been a while since I have updated! We have been so busy as the days grow fewer and fewer till the arrival of Nora. Kory and I are finishing up last minute shopping for baby items and cleaning the nursery. It is finally almost done! We are putting the double stroller together tonight. I will probably test drive it with Ava and see how it pushes. It is a very big stroller so we shall see!

Last week Kory and I took Ava to Letchworth and GlenFalls Park. Both were very fun and relaxing. We went with friends of ours to GlenFalls. I got to take there family pictures for Christmas. It was fun and great practice for me. Letchworth was also very fun. It was all of ours frist time every going. It is awesome to just stop and look at the leaves. I love this time of the year when they start to change colors. It wont be long till the leaves are gone and the snow is here.

Here are some pictures from the past week..

Future Star?

She loves music and instruments already... and we love watching her!

Chicken Little!!!!

Well here are the infamous Halloween pictures that everyone has been asking us about! My little Chicken! I can not get over how adorable she is in these pictures! Yes i know she is my daughter, but still! She loved sitting by her pumpkin on our steps like a big girl! I figure the overalls went to good with the fall look! Notice the newest thing Ava does.. the O shaped lips .. she says oh oh oh to everything now!!! And Avas Halloween shirt.. I just loved the socks! A friend of mine and I got those for $1 at Target in the dollar bins! We love a good deal!!! Hope you enjoy these as much as I do!!

Fall Days and Soccer Games..

Today I took Ava to my sister Kayla's soccer game. I love watching her play and Ava really seems to enjoy it too. She is getting very good at just sitting and watching the girls run back and forth. It was a nice day out today. Not to hot and not to cold. After the game we went and had a relaxing dinner at my mom's house. It was a great end to a fun day out with Kory today. Oh and 31 days till Nora is born. Its getting scary close! We are getting more and more excited though!

Thoughts ...

Tomorrow is our second anniversay.. it is strange to think that in two years of marriage we almost have two daughters! What more could you ask for...
So our day wont be quite as romantic as some may want, just spending it with Kory and Ava is enough for me..
I read a few sad blogs today of mothers who are not quite as lucky as I am, mothers who have lost their babies or are going too. It makes me that much more greatful for my baby! I hugged a little tighter today when she woke up from her nap! I gave a few extra kisses at lunch time! I would hope everyone else would today also! Say a prayer for all those who have experienced a tragedy like these!
On a lighter note... I am taking Ava's Halloween pictures today!
I will post pictures soon!

Little Peanut....

Ava and I had our finally fitting for the wedding we are in the Saturday. Of course both still needed to be altered! I don't think mine is every going to be right but that's okay, its only one day right?
Ava's dress is actually very cute. There is a HUGE bow in the back though that is weighing the dress down. She had to get pinned and is having it taking in tonight! I am hoping that it is good tomorrow, seeing that the wedding is Saturday! The seamstress told us she used a 12 month pattern to make Ava's dress. She is my little Peanut! I am hoping it still fits in December and it can be used for one of her Sunday dresses! I would love for her to have a fancy dress for each Sunday in December up to Christmas!
I will post some pictures of her in the dress tomorrow! Hopefully it will fit good!

Browns Berry Patch ( Post 1)

I took so many pictures this past weekend at Browns.. this is the first batch that i got uploaded.. I will attempt to do the rest later! I will explain what she is doing in the pictures!

1.) One and two are in a little play house that they had there. Ava loved walking around and sitting at the table. She is pondering her day so far!
2.) Fun on the tractor with Daddy
3.) Ava's first HayRide
4.) Water table fun
5) Posing with the Bear Family Scarecrows
6.) In the goat sign
7.) Water races with Daddy
8-12.) These were all at the playground, Ava loved the big slide! Kory had to climb this huge rope wall with Ava and Slide down!

The rest to come are great as well!!! We had such a fun day! We are looking forward to making this a tradition for our family each year!

Friday Night...

I am sitting here bored and not really wanting to go to bed quiet yet... I am excited for our family trip to Brown's Berry Patch tomorrow! I love fall, everything about the season is fun for me! Especially this year knowing that Nora will be joining our family.
On Monday I will be 34 weeks. It truly is amazing how fast this pregnancy went by. Nora is a very active baby lately.. She loves to kick me high in my ribs and use her arms low in my pelvis. It is almost like she is trying to claw her way out!!
I am debating posting belly pictures! Everyone is asking for them.. Maybe if i get some nice maternity pictures taken I will!
I am so excited to meet Nora soon!

Thirteen Months!

13 months! New Hat from Aleah

Very excited about new hat!

Family Picture from James's Wedding

It is always said that the second year goes even faster than the first. I can say I already agree with that.. Our baby is 13 months today. It does not seem real! Ava is so full of life and energy! She makes me so tired each and every day! Ava loves to eat, she will eat everything and anything that is given to her! My family thinks it is funny to try and give her new things to try. The lastest was a red pepper. She thought nothing of it and than had two more! Ava never ceases to amaze me!


She is in a full walk now, very little crawling now! She loves to venture up the stairs at Grandmas house. She is so fast too... she can be at the top of the stairs before anyone even knows where she is!


Kory and I love Ava more and more each day! She is a little ball of fun and each day is a new surprise !

Too Funny

Abby - 1964
If you are bored and want a good laugh on your own behalf check out www.yearbookyourself.com . It is well worth it! I tried to do Kory but did not have a good picture to use.. It is quite funny though to look back at all the past years!

Just Me and my Dolly!

Ava and her favorite Dolly had matching dresses! So of course I had to take some pictures!! She really is starting to love her doll and gives her kisses all the time!!

22 Years

Today is my 22 Birthday!!!
It seems like not long ago I was celebrating 21! Time really does go by so fast. At 22 I am a wife, and a mother! I love every minute of it!! I am getting so excited for Nora to join the clan.
A good friend of mine told me the other day that her mom said " Abby acts older than 22" , I hear this so often!
Most people my age think I am crazy, why at 22 would I want two kids a husband and so much responsiblity ?
Its simple .... What others call Crazy to me is Wonderfu! I would not change my life for a minute!

Her Love

Ava will always have a special place in her heart that only Aunt Jenna will be able to fill! Ava simply adores her, and we like nothing less than to spend every moment of every day with her! I must admit though that Jenna is great with her and truely cares about her. Jenna will sit all day and just play with Ava, whereas others would get bored after a few minutes! I think they are pretty cute together too!

Mirror Mirror on the Wall

Who is the prettiest girl of All?

AVA GRACE!!!!

Oh Daddy

Kory never ceases to amaze us with his crazy personality. Oh what a lucky lady I am and the girls are! At least there is always a laugh near by!
