Happy Birthday Abby

Here's some pics of the Birthday Girl at her finest! She is the sweetest thing ever!

She blew out her candles as we were singing to her! Guess she had a wish that couldn't wait.

Cowabunga Dude! Surfing in the bathtub!

Happy Square Root Day!

Curtis was fascinated by "Square Root Day"! We figured out that the next time we have a Square Root Day, he will be almost 16! Yikes! Here's a picture of the not quite 16 year old (but almost 9 year old) boy and his favorite girl!

The Lion Princess

Since she was 9 months old, Abby has "loved" her Lala, a stuffed lion that my mom got her for her first Christmas (picture on the top). Lala has been through a lot in his nearly 6 1/2 years, and though he shows signs of wear and tear (worn off nose, several repaired holes, a lot less stuffing), he is still the object of Abby's true devotion. She still sleeps with it most every night, although, we recently have been able to leave it at mom's house when she goes to visit her dad (which was no minor feat!).

So, when her first grade class had to choose an animal to do a research project on, Abby chose the Lion. On the bottom, is a picture of her 3D lion that she had to make as part of her project. Turned out pretty good if I do say so myself!
