Well I missed last week because we were out of town and I still haven't figured out how to upload photos from my phone when I don't have access to a computer. As for last night, I just fell asleep before posting! Ha! This first trimester tiredness and constant nausea is catching up with me! But Andy has been awesome -- he takes care of John when he can so I can rest at night, even though his days and nights are plumb FULL of studying for his Bar Exam -- it's in just 17 days! So on to the photos from last week and this week...
SNAPSHOT #16:
This is John swinging at the playground right outside of the lodge we stayed in at Snow Mountain Ranch, Colorado for Andy's family's Family Reunion. Look at those mountains in the background! It was a
beautiful site, and we had SUCH a fun time! I'll make a separate post (I know, I'm WAY behind on regular posts...) all about that!
SNAPSHOT(S) #17
From Colorado, Mom and Dad flew into Denver and drove out to pick John and I up for a quick trip to Montana (poor Andy had to drive home to Lubbock to keep studying for the Bar Exam). We went North to help celebrate Grandma and Grandpa Bergman's 60th Wedding Anniversary! John also got to meet his Great-Grandma Alme and several relatives from both sides of the family. It was his first trip up there, and it was a
whirl-wind of a trip -- 4 of the 6 days were spent on the road! He was a champ on the way up there, but the way back was another story.... let's just say that if Mom hadn't been willing to sit in the back seat to take care of/entertain him, it would have been a mess (my "morning" sickness that lasts all day PLUS getting car sick made me a candidate for the front seat). My mom was a life-saver and a saint! Thanks again, Mom and Dad, for making that trip possible! Again, I'll do a separate post about that trip in the future.
Hope you have a great weekend! Take care and God bless!
Love,
Abby, Andy, John, Baby, and Wayne-Dog
Bathtime Mohawk!
Then he got in trouble (because he loves to play with the trash can, despite constant "No"s and redirection)...
I had to include that one because, when we were recently down in Houston visiting my sister and brother-in-law, they expressed that they were glad to see John is a normal kid who occasionally cries and throws fits! All my postings of him grinning and laughing and flirting at the camera made them wonder! ;) But here's one that's more like my favorite little guy:
Can you say "CHEESE!!!"? ;) It's funny because this photo does really "look like John" to Andy and me, but it sure does capture his cheesy smile that we just love.

Do ya like John's new duds?? We sure do! John is going to be a BIG BROTHER! :) We are excited to announce we're due with our second little one on February 24th! We're only 5 weeks along so far, but we feel so blessed!!
Pretty good excuse to not waste time online, eh? ;)
Y'all have a great Friday... I'll post again tomorrow! :) Take care and God bless!
Have a great weekend! Take care and God bless.
Looks like John's got BIG shoes to fill! No special story on this one, but it is fitting -- as this week I am trying to finish a book for him filled with photos and stories of his Popo (his great-granddad, John Gaschen) after whom he was named! Popo passed away about 2 years ago, and since John will never get to meet him (not here on earth, anyways), I wanted to gather stories about the great man his namesake was!
