So it's been since March 5th that I posted anything at all. Since most of the family ventured on to Facebook I guess that became the primary mode of sharing pictures and what not. It's about time I take the time to give a better update on what's been happening in the McKinney family.
Abbie turns 1 this week. UNBELIEVABLE! She's walking now and saying little baby/toddler sentences.
We took her as well as Lindsay's side of the family on a cruise in September. For some it was their first cruise ever, and for others it was their first Disney cruise. A great time was definitely had by everyone!
Lindsay's career remains the same, however I have moved from the Magic Kingdom, back to the Yacht & Beach, back the Hollywood Studios, back to the Yacht & Beach and eventually landing at Epcot. I have been there since late June and am really enjoying the role I'm in.
We also completed, what is considered by some, the hardest step in Dave Ramsey's Total Money Makeover "baby steps". Back in July we became debt free, and the feeling is everything we hoped it would be and more.
The pineapple on the patio is growing like a weed! We should start seeing a fruit (hopefully) sometime in February or March. I tried my hand at some Impatien flowers from the Epcot Flower and Garden festival which are apparently very finnicky to grow. They were doing amazingly well until I over fertilized them. So alas, I have since moved on to growing fresh garlic on the patio.
Christmas decorations are already up and family gets into town next weekend. We have a big week ahead of work and Kentucky Wildcat Basketball. Hope everyone is doing well. Feel free to keep up via Facebook or Twitter. Take care!

Greetings once again to all our readers! Abbie had her two month check-up yesterday and it was quite an eventful day. As noted by the title, Abbie now weighs 11 lbs, 6 oz and is a whopping 23.5 inches long. Meaning she's grown 3 inches in a little less than 9 weeks. She also had her first round of vaccinations (shots) yesterday. I don't think I will ever forget the look on her face the moment she got stuck with a needle. That moment was tough on both mommy and daddy.
She also had the common reactions to the vaccines. She spent most of yesterday needing a little TLC: groggy with a small fever. We did however get reap some benefit as she slept for 9 hours straight!
