Thanksgiving with the Groggs

Sorry I couldn't get pictures of the 40 + people that attended this gathering, but I was running out of card space. This is the yearly family picture, believe it or not it is one of the only times in the year that we are all in the same place at the same time! This year we may actually all be together again for Spring Break, let's keep our fingers crossed...

Shopping!!!!

The day after thanksgiving is the BEST day to shop! We got lots of great deals, and we had a great time!

Thanksgiving at Nana's

Andrea really like "getting" Christopher! Who would have thought he would be such a great cousin to a baby... :)

Meeting Adisen

Meeting Matt and Candace's baby was so much fun! She was so cute and sweet. It looks like she is going to have red hair... I sure hope so! Meg and I had fun just looking at her. We took a new cousin pick including the great grandkids... and the little boy and girl in Jen's tummy we are all so anxious to meet!

Literally, 5 minutes ago...

Scrapbooking weekend

What a relaxing fun time we had! Check it out-

Andrea eating cereal puffs

Andrea can eat those tiny cereal puffs by herself! She has been doing it for about two weeks. I finally decided to take pictures of her eating the puffs last week. She absolutly loves being able to do something herself!

My 27th Birthday

Getting closer and closer to 30! Andrea had fun at my birthday party :) I think it is getting to the point where my birthday is not very exciting and now I will anticipate Andrea's b-days...

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Random Photo Shoot

Andrea had a jacket on today that matched one of those silly Pink dogs from VS. Meghan got married last June and when I bought her some things and VS, they gave me these pink dogs free. Andrea loves them, and I don't mind them cause they don't have any fuzz to get in her mouth when she chews on them. Plus, they occupy her on the changing table... Yes, she is sitting on my "pouting bench" that was in my room as a little girl as far back as I can remember!

Andrea is 7 months old!

Andrea is over 7 months now... 20 lbs and 29 inches long! She is a big girl! She has in the past few days been starting to eat "real" food. I have given her fresh grapes and bananas with the net feeder seen in the picture, and I have given her some finger food- those little fast dissolving gerber cereal like things. (pictures to come...)

Going to church

Andrea has decided that she likes going to the church nursery, although she is still not sure about babysitters. She had her first one last friday night and wasn't to thrilled! She cannot bring herself to a standing position yet, but likes standing once you help her to get there... Here she is standing and in her outfit from church this past sunday. (thanks Leslie for the cute outfit!)

Just a Swingin'

Andrea can sit up!

Andrea decided it was time to sit up on her own the week Daddy went to Paris. The first week in October he went to Paris on business and we headed south to visit the grandparents (Andrea's great grandparents!). Those pics are on 35 mm, so it will be awhile before they are up!
