Baby Byers (aka B.B.)

I've got a lot to talk about this time. We've been really busy!!! We went to Branson for a week. We were waiting for my friend Megan to have her baby...and she did! Jackson Edward was born on October 23 at 5:46 pm. He weighed 9 lbs and 10.7 oz (BIG baby!) and was 22 inches long (tall too!) and his mommy had him with NO EPIDURAL!! She is a SUPER WOMAN and I would know, because I was there for the delivery! It was so cool, and I am so grateful to Megan and Jess for including me in something so monumental.

Then, in our whirlwind trip, we headed to Benton for Kaci and Clint's wedding (there are a few pics of that below) where Abi had her first (and probably not the last) run as a flower girl. She did pretty good considering that she is only 17 months, with a 17 month old attention span and she looked totally adorable to boot!

We got home just in time for Nic's day off, Friday, which also happened to be Halloween. But first, Nic and Abi had to do some yard work! Nic raked the leaves while Abi got to play in them. She had a BLAST!!

After a good nap, she was ready for Trick or Treating. Nic, Abi and myself dressed up in our Arkansas Razorback finest, figuring, correctly, that it would be our only chance to wear our gear this year, since we now live too far away to go to any games. A few people way up here in WI even knew who the Razorbacks were! Probably because they whooped up on us in a bowl game that we went to in Orlando a few years ago. Well, as you can tell, things are going pretty well here. It hasn't been too cold here yet, though, so I may be singing a different tune then! In fact, for the first few days of this week, it will be really warm - up to 70 on Monday, then the end of the week goes down to 39. 39?????? :s I'll never survive this winter!!!!
