So first I'll update ya on the little one... we're just over 12 weeks along and as far as we know, all is well! We see the doctor on Tuesday, but we won't be getting a sonogram at that appointment - not yet sure when our next one will be! Here's a quick profile photo at 12 weeks:
In the meantime, we had a wonderful week and a happy Halloween! First of all, Andy's brother Pat came through town on his drive from Columbus, Mississippi to Las Vegas. He's now stationed in Vegas at Nellis Air Force Base and will be doing missiles and munitions maintenance (managing the arming of planes for combat). We got to spend some good time with Pat, and their parents also came into town too. Lots of good family time with the Hefferlys! Unfortunately, I didn't get any photos...
Also, I came home from work one day this week to discover that Andy's mom and his sister Laura created a mini "Fall Extravaganza" on our porch! Andy's mom does this great, elaborate display on their porch each fall -- the "Fall Extravaganza" -- it's full of hay bales, pumpkins, gourds, squash, a scarecrow, and other fall decor. So she started one for each of her married kids this year! We LOVE it! What a wonderful, thoughtful surprise! Here's what it looks like, with the addition of our jack-o-lantern -- we took a little family photo:
For Halloween, Wayne-dog was pretty curious as to what we were doing with that pumpkin - he wanted to help!
Wayne-dog was also brand new to trick-or-treaters -- it took him a few doorbell rings to figure out why we had all these scary visitors who didn't care to come in and play with him! He did great though. AND, best of all, he tolerated us dressing him up! We didn't do anything too extravagant, but it took a few tries… first a fire-dog (he wasn't impressed), then a couch potato (guess he doesn't like cheap beer!), and finally an old silly lion mask from years ago! Just look at those eyes! We're pretty sure he's going to pay us back for putting him through such humiliation!
Speaking of costumes, our bun-in-the-oven got dressed up too! Here's our little pumpkin's first Halloween costume (it's just pinned on my belly, and yes, I'm a dork) :)
After going to the Tech vs. Kansas game on Saturday, Andy and I handed out candy to trick-or-treaters. There were some cute ones, but our favorites by far were Aladdin and Abu! (our nephews Kolbe and Reagan) Aren't their costumes great?!

As you can see above, Laura, Mark, Mark's mom Ms. Lora, and the boys stopped by -- it was great hanging out! We didn't get to see our nieces on Halloween though, as the timing didn't work out. While I don't have a photo of them to share, I was told that Shelby was a lady-bug and little Kinsey was Minnie Mouse. I bet they were too cute!
Well that's it for now. Hope you had a Happy Halloween! Take care and God bless!
Love,
Abby, Andy, Baby, and Wayne-Dog
