Who knew a cooler was so much fun?

Apparently Abby knows a cooler can be so much fun to squeeze yourself into!!

I don't have a picture of the times she fell out!!

Special K's visit

Abby LOVED her time with Special K this week (Stephen's mom). They read, played, sang, etc. all day every day. I have a CD of about 130 pictures that she took of their time together!! I was able to get a lot of random things accomplished...like painting Abby's twin bed...to be pictured sometime soon after we buy the mattress. We wish K and all our families lived closer!!

Sticker Fun

Special K brought fun smiley face stickers and Abby had fun putting them all over her body and my face!!

Happy Valentine's Day!!

Alive and well

It sounds bad to say we haven't had much going on because life is always full of course!! We just haven't had any blogworthy news really. Stephen's recovering from the flu, Abby and I have colds, but we're all hanging in there. I enjoyed a recent visit with some college roomies (we missed you Amy!) and my parents visited (but they are here once a month so that's not even very newsy!). We're thankful Stephen's practice has hired an office manager who will start soon and hopefully relieve some stress for him. I loved going to a recent consignment sale and now I'm trying to work on the 2nd birthday party plans. Abby's come a long way after saying goodbye to her pacifiers about a month ago. So that's a little summaroosky for you!!

Naptime distress! But bunny's always a faithful companion!


Sweetness...what a cutie!


Abby and Jonathan (my roomie Stephanie's little boy)

Nothing like girlfriends!

Playing with her girlfriends....and oh the highs and lows! Girls are truly dramatic from the start!! Sharing is a tough thing right now....as is sitting still for a picture...but we managed to get these pics with our friends this week. I really enjoy the mom time!!!

1st Haircut!

Abby has had some scraggly (is that a word?) hair for awhile now, but I just wasn't ready to cut it until today! We went in for our 1st cut at JellyBeans kiddie salon where the first time is only a penny!! I was prepared with her bunny, lollipops, snacks, etc. because I thought she'd fuss. She wouldn't sit alone in the chair until afterwards so I sat with her and she did great playing with a toy. Our "stylist" didn't take much off, maybe an inch, and we left the bang area alone to continue growing out. So you may not even be able to tell much in the pics, but we have the certificate and little baggy of hair to prove it!
