Crawling update

We have figured out that Audrey likes to army crawl on the carpet but as soon as she gets to a hard surface...she gets up on all fours and moves around. She isn't very fast on the tile floor yet but before we know it she will be cruising! She also followed Abby all the way to the bathroom last night to take a bath. I was so excited that I was able to get it on video! (usually the battery is dead on the camera!) If I can figure out how to upload the video to my blog, I'll put a clip on here so you can check out our little mover!

Audrey the Army Crawler

Audrey is now getting to where she wants to go at a pretty good speed. She isnt crawling on all fours but instead has chosen the more interesting army crawl. She moves her arms in the proper motion and then shakes her butt back and forth to help propel her forward. She has found the kitchen floor and is very interested by the new texture. She also has started to get into the toys that Abby brings out in the living room to play with. And so the fighting begins!! "Moooommmm...Audrey is chewing on my toy!!." or "Moooommm....Audrey is trying to knock over my tower!" Its so much fun!! :)
Abby is doing very well in school. She had her first singing experience in church when her class and the kindergarten class sang at the late service last sunday. She did great and we were very proud parents! We tried to take a picture, which I will post below, but it didnt turn out very well.
We had a great halloween. Abby's friends came over for lunch and some fun and then Abby and Jon went out that night while Audrey and I passed out candy. But somehow, all the candy mysteriously disappeared by the following Monday ;). We had candy in the house since our halloween camping trip at the beginning of Oct, so I was very excited to send the remaining candy (with the exception of a few pieces for abby) with Jon to work!
the day before halloween, the girls and I had spent the night at Mimi and Papa's house and then went to the Ann Arbor Hands On Museum. There was hardly anyone there and we had a great time!
This past saturday, Abby and Jon had a date night. Jon took her to see holt high schools peter pan play. Abby loved it and was very excited that they had candy during the intermission! She said her favorite part of the play was the indians.
Then on sunday, we took advantage of the nice weather and put up our christmas lights. Dont worry, they arent plugged in. That wont happen until after thanksgiving. I also got the last of my plants into the ground, trimmed my butterfly bush and covered the burning bushes so the bunnies wouldnt eat them this winter. Now the front of our house looks really bare!
