Stuff, stuff and more stuff

Sorry it has taken me so long to post something... most of the time, I think "oh this is hilarious, I MUST blog about this... then I realize that what I find noteworthy, others might find quite mundane. However, this is my life, and that is what blogging is all about. I know that Auntie Jan enjoys hearing about Abby and her latest antics, so Jan, these are for you! Love you!

We are so proud!So, we were expecting company the other night and I explained to my always naked 2 year old that she couldnt run around naked while we had guests. I told her that if she did not get clothes on she would spend the evening in her room while we visited with our company. She pranced upstairs and came down 5 min. later in this cute little number.... 2 bathing suites, clearly on backwards. (No, it is not a toddler thong).

On an even happier note... I think we may have broken the PACI (pacifier) addiction! Yesterday my dear sweet sister-in-law, whom I love and is incredibly brilliant in understanding Abby came back after an evening with Abby and had this story to tell.... While picking up a pizza at Pizza Hut, Abby thought it would be hilarious to throw her PACI out the car window into the parking lot... Tami (who is always quick and witty in her response) said "Uh oh, the parking lot monster ate your paci. Now you are a big girl and dont need it anymore." That was that... she didnt even ask for it at bed time, and at nap today made quick mention that the "lot monster ate it up!" and feel fast asleep! Can I get an AMEN? Now onto potty training... I think I will save those stories for another day! Jan, stop back... you wont want to miss those.

And here is a fun picture that the girls and I took last night after reading some books on the sofa. My sister Claudine is staying with us this week while my mom is recovering in the hospital after a total knee replacement. Can I tell you what a blessing she has been? She plays hide and seek with Abby, reads books, sings songs, colors, plays outside.... is willing to do anything to help... My friend Bexy and I were wondering how we can register for one of these at Target. I have actually gotten some things accomplished this week... probably been the most productive that I have been since my "nesting" time almost 3 months ago.





Well, my littlest child is telling me it is time to get off the stinkin computer. Bye for now!
