Thank God I'm a Country Girl...

Audrey loves her chickens!  She feeds them daily and helps take care of them.  In return, they follow her around the yard like a mother hen and her chicks.  This particular chicken is the friendliest and gets all kinds of lovin' from Audrey (and John).
 Pick it up easy!
 Now say, "cheese".

2 Years 3 Months!

It's been awhile since I posted a few things about Audrey.  She is soooooo high speed and talks a mile a minute.  Seriously, the only time she isn't talking is when she is sleeping!  Her favorite word is "why" after EVERY statement you make, which I have resorted to answering with "because God wanted it that way".  A mother can only explain the ways of the world but so much in one day.
She is sleeping in her big girl bed (crib minus front rail)  as of last week and is very pround that "Mommy fixed it". So proud, that she will greet you at the door when you arrive and promptly show it off.
Her vocabulary still astonishes me on a daily basis. Yesterday she looked at me, pointed her finger and said, " I've got to tell you one more thing".  Unfortunately, she has also picked up a few of my less desirable phrases along the way as well, like the word "dablameit" whenever something undesirable happens. Better than the alternative, right? I'll just keep telling myself that and hopefully you will ignore it if you hear it come out of her little mouth. Ugh!

Mac & Cheese!

On our way back home from the river last week, we had to drive through a toll booth.  John was paying our fee when Audrey suddenly yelled from the back seat, "I want macaroni and cheese!" Bet the toll booth operator never had that said to them before.

Oh baby!

I kind of left you hanging with the last post, huh? We are extremely excited and slightly terrified about having a new addition in our household come this January.  Luckily I have been feeling great, except for being exhausted during my first trimester. I wonder why? Could it be that I'm *trying* to keep up with a very active two year old while growing another? Audrey is very excited about her, "baby sister growing bigger in mommy's belly".  Oh how I hope she doesn't change her mind once the little one arrives and she realizes that she has to share her mommy with someone else! GASP!  I'm going to attempt to post a few pictures later this week of the preggo belly.  Thanks for all of the sweet comments and encouraging words on my last post!

Pickin' Blueberries..

We arrived at the farm early in the morning.  It was overcast morning and the dew still covered the blueberries.

Audrey took frequent samples to make sure she was picking only the best, sweetest blueberries.  We finally enforced the rule that blueberries went in the bucket, not our tummies.  

Didn't work so well, huh? 


Blueberry picking with a view.  

Can't wait to make a fresh blueberry cobbler! Any good recipes??

Reptiles!

Look what we played with today at our local library. Of course Audrey was excited about holding and petting all of them, even the python! That's my girl. :)
