We visited our own personal doll (aka Abigail) this afternoon.

She is absolutely perfect and extremely popular!

I think that it is unanimous...we LOVE her!

I have watched you parade around the house for weeks with your babies dressed in M&M costumes (aka...your underwear).

This morning, I decided that we could do better than that.

We quickly hit the fabric box and found plenty of felt.

You were so very proud of our creations. (I was too!)

We visited the nostalgic Fitz's diner on Sunday afternoon.

We watched as they bottled grape soda and sampled their famous root beer.

It was a hit!

Yesterday, we continued our tradition of visiting Jefferson Barracks on Veteran's Day.

You designed and created floral arrangements to place on random stones.

Always remember the extraordinary sacrifices that ordinary people made for your freedom.

What can I say?

You are going up too fast!

Saturday was your last football game of the season.

It is so fun to see and remember how much you have grown and learned in the course of a few months.

You made a great quarterback!

Of course, you participated in the tradition of tackling the coach. (aka daddy)

GO RAMS!

Imagine coming home from an ordinary day of school to find this waiting for you!

I think that you experienced a few seconds of heaven.

You have been such a great helper and hard-worker.

Dad and I are extremely proud of you!

Our Afternoons Have Been Consumed With Scooter Fun!

Welcome Baby Abigail Jane

You have been super excited about the arrival of Miss Abigail.

We visited her this evening, and you found her absolutely mesmerizing (as did dad and I).

Andrew asked, "When will we see her again? How about tomorrow?"

You both held her (several times), tickled her sweet piggy toes, and dreamed about all the things that you will teach her.

Olivia, you read her one of your favorite books. It was a REALLY sweet moment!

You are loved Abigail Jane!

Dress-Up Day at W.E.E. School

You had a sugar-filled day dressed as Minnie and Goofy.

My prayer is that your light will shine bright 365 days a year regardless of the craziness that happens around you. Make EVERY day and situation count for Christ!

You have the opportunity to be a light in this very dark world.
