Recent Pictures

Abi is excited by her backpack from Grandma & Grandpa D, but also by the stuff to go into it. The workbooks have been a huge success.

A super cool puzzle from Chad, Heidi, & Marshall. Great pic guys!! Abi loves it!


Abi is 4!

...but not always.

Made it to the top! All by myself!

Abi

Today Abi had her well-check appointment this morning.

Officially, she is 36.4 pounds (75%) and 41 1/2 inches (90%).

She has a double ear infection that has taken hold since her cold is now winding down.... One wouldn't know though being as she is a trooper! :)

and now for an Abi story,

This morning she turned the tv on which happened to be on NBC. The Today Show came on and she heard them talking about Barack Obama. I went into the room after getting Mikayla and she said, "Mommy they are talking about Rock Obama". I asked her, "Who is that?" She says, "He is our President. He takes care of us." Greg and Abi were able to watch the inauguration and I guess it must have left an impression on her...

Happy Birthday!

to my dad!

I'm sure he'll be excited to see this blog entry just for him....

Love you Dad!

Four

Today I have spent alot of time thinking about the number four... Some may wonder why. Others already know... My 'baby' turned 4 today.

Abi had a great day I'd say. She was able to go to Albany area to spend some time with Greg's cousin Scott and his family along with other relatives. When I was talking to Abi about it tonight. She said, "Guess what Mommy. I got to play with 2 new friends." (meaning Scott's youngest kids, I think.) She even had birthday cake at Aunt Sue's house!

Then after they got home, we had a mini-party for her here.

But, still, my baby is 4. How did that even happen?! In so many ways she isn't a baby anymore. She can pick out her clothes and get dressed by herself. Albeit, she sometimes does pick out some crazy combinations. :) Poor child doesn't have alot of hope in the fashion sense department given her Mom and Dad's fashion skills! She orders her own food at restaurants. She remembers to say "please" and "thank you" (most of the time, at least). . . .

The other day I had said to her I was a little sad that she was turning 4. She said "Don't worry Mommy. I'll still be your girl." How sweet is that?

Well, it's been a long day and I'm ready for bed...

Hope everyone is great. I will post pictures soon.

Happy Birthday Abi-girl...
