Hello!

Hi Everyone!
My sister-in-law (Carrie) had started a blog to share her pregnancy experience with friends and family...especially for those living miles away. I thought it was a great idea, and because Abby and Ben aren't able to see everyone they love everyday, we can share our fun through messages, pictures and hopefully some video. Check back weekly. I'll do my best to keep it updated.
So, here's what we've been up to this week.

We spent last week in PA and had a wonderful visit with family. Gordy had his own adventures with a skunk and went to visit the vet on Tuesday when we got home. He has some ulcers on his eyes, but has ointment and is doing much better. One of our weekly chores is doing the laundry. Everyone did their share.



Wednesday was a day of shopping. One of our stops was to PetSmart. Abby LOVES seeing all the fish, gerbils and birds. So, We now have a new member of the family.



Yup, MeMo is Abby's first goldfish. She loves to sit and watch him swim and loves to feed him. Someone else welcomed him to the family.



Another stop was Babies R Us to buy Ben a new exersaucer. Here's his first time checking it out.



We also made it to storytime. Abby loves storytime. She sings, dances and watches puppets. We hope to have a song to share with you soon. : )

Thursday started with a trip to the doctor. Ben's 4 month check up included some shots and since its flu season, Abby got her shot. The Prechtel kids were not happy, but Abby was soon over it as she left with handfuls of stickers and lollipops - Ben was better once he had some cherry flavored Tylenol. After lunch, Abby helped Mommy sprinkle cupcakes for a Halloween treat. (Mommy kept her cool as little jimmies bounced all over the floor).



We hoped you enjoyed our first blog entry. We'd love for you to share messages with us. We've got to go...we are getting ready for trick-or-treating in a few days.

Love,
Karen, Abby and Ben
