A Year Gone By

It's been so busy lately that I don't have a whole lot to post. So, I thought it would be nice to look at a few photos of sibling love from this time last year.

I'm so glad that their bond just keeps getting stronger.

And funnier....

Pee Pee on the Potty!!!

At her 18 month check up the doctor and I talked about potty training. I am in no hurry, but the Dr. suggested getting a potty and letting her sit on it. Also, taking her with me, and dumping the contents of diapers into the potty. I took her advice, and it turns out that daughter of mine is a very quick learner. Every day she leaves something in the potty at least once.

Good for you BABY girl!!

Pigtails...

I have been so eagerly awaiting the long hair on Abby so I have something else to play with. Alas, pigtails!!!! Although they only stayed in a short time, about long enough for her to say "etty." They do look cute though.

The semester begins...

Well, school is in session again. Up this semester.....

And American Sign Language

So far, this class is so much fun!!! And it counts as a forgien language.

OUCH

On sunday Gavin crashed his bike pretty horribly. I got a call from his Dad at about 10:30 in the morning saying he wiped out. They both reassured me that it wasn't bad and he was wearing his helmet.

When he got home at 9pm this is what it looked like, OUCH!! By the next morning he was on his way to the doctors because the eye was swollen shut. Turns out he wasn't wearing his helmet and needed a CT scan. Thank god everything was ok, well except he started 4th grade with an incredible black eye.

Fancy Feet

At the begining of summer I bought Abby a new pair of sandals. Last month they were so tight she was limping. We went to payless and bought two new pairs that were 2 sizes bigger. How in the world did this child skip a size?

They are pretty cool with their lights and all. The funny thing is, Abby has never liked anything on her feet and now she loves wearing "shees."

My Ice Cream

Abby has learned how to take her bibs off and this is what happens.

At least she enjoyed the ice cream. I oxycleaned this shirt so much that it faded and ate a hole in it. Oh well, it was getting small anyways.
