Happy Halloween!

Here are some recent pumpkin patch pictures of our little pumpkin. We went to the pumpkin patch with cousin Abram and also with Abby's friend Sara Kate. I'm sure we'll have more pictures to post of tonight's festivities. We hope everyone has a fun Halloween!

Abby and Abram - Abby insists on making this silly face in pictures these days:)

Confessions of a Bad Blogger

Hey Everyone! Sorry I've been such a bad blogger lately... my goal is to add a new post at least every two weeks and clearly I'm behind:) We've had a busy fall and we haven't even gotten to Halloween and Thanksgiving - at least that means our little baby boy will be here before we know it and we can't wait to meet him, especially his big sister.
We got to spend a couple days in Dallas last weekend with family and had a wonderful time. We had a wedding in Fort Worth most of Saturday so we didn't get to spend much time with our Dallas friends - we'll be up a couple more times between now and Christmas so hopefully we'll be able to catch you all then!
Here are a couple of recent pictures - Abby and her sweet friend Calli got to play at the park last weekend and while Matthew and I were at the wedding Abby spent the afternoon at the Dallas Arboretum pumpkin patch with BeBe, Aunt Mindy and Aunt Judi. As you can tell from the pictures Abby enjoyed herself!

Sweet Friends

I love this picture - they had such a great time together!

Our little Abby having tons of fun!

Recovery!

Just a quick follow up to the last post - my sickies have recovered!

My Sick Family

Abby and Matthew are both sick today so they are probably going to be spending the day in bed. Matthew will get his share of Lady and the Tramp and Nemo, I'm sure. There is one good thing about sick days - they are a time to slow down and appreciate the blessing of good health. Hopefully though my little sickies will wake up well in the morning!

Updated Pictures

Hey Everyone,
I've been so bad about posting lately so here are some pictures from the last several weeks. We've just been busy living life... we've had some family and friends come in town and we've done some fun things with our wonderful friends from church.
I'm starting to feel little baby boy move around more which I love, of course, and Matthew has gotten to feel him a few times too. Yesterday we bought Abby a little baby boy doll which she named Baby Boy Abby. She has suggested that we name her little brother Abram - we love the name but it's already taken in our family!
Enjoy the pictures!

"Aunt" Amanda and Abby - Abby adores Amanda. Of course Amanda came bearing wonderful gifts for Abby as always - thank you! We loved seeing you, Amanda!

BaBaw, BeBe and Abby - We had a wonderful visit with you all!

It's A BOY!

We found out last week that the next addition to the Reyes family is a little boy. We are thrilled! Abby was so cute at the sonogram - little baby boy was rubbing his eyes and Abby said, "Look, he's waving at me!" Thankfully everything looks great - we appreciate all of your prayers and please keep praying for a healthy boy and a healthy pregnancy. Thank you!

Some other things to be thankful for...
- We have so many friends that live in the Houston/Galveston area and we are thankful that they are all okay after the hurricane.
- We celebrated Matthew's 29th birthday on Friday. We are so thankful to be blessed with such an amazing daddy and husband. Happy Birthday, Matthew!

Aunts & Uncles - We Love Them!!!

Ode to the Aunts and Uncles...
Aunt Kristine and Uncle Chris came for a visit this past weekend and of course we had tons of fun. Matthew and I were reminded that Abby - and our new little one when he or she arrives - have the most amazing aunts and uncles ever. You couldn't ask for better ones - all of our brothers, sisters and brothers and sisters-in-law love our child so much and take such an interest in her life. We are so thankful for the blessing you are in our lives. We look forward to the next time we get to see you all again...some of you it will be a longer time than others (poor Uncle Scotty is in Italy for the next year).
I feel like no post is complete without a picture or two so here are a couple recent ones.

Abby's baby book has pictures of my monthly belly progression so it's only fair that Baby Reyes gets the same:)
