HAPPY little Girl - Apr 27 & 28

The sun may not be shining on us (brrrrrrrrrrrrrr)...
but apparently good fortune is!
We were lucky enough to adopt a swingset
that someone else's family has outgrown.

Here Abby is helping daddy put it together.

Swinging...swinging...swinging.

(also note Millie's new frisbee...
she is a frisbee freak. Loves it...
& can make some very acrobatic catches!)

Worm Picking - April 24, 2008

Thursday night Abby & I went outside to play in the rain and the puddles. We mostly picked worms. She's sometimes a touch on the girly-side...but then she goes and plays with worms. She found a big fat juicy one in our driveway and decided Joe would really like it.

So we carried it into the house and upstairs (Joe was up working on our broken shower in our broken bathroom - long story) and proudly presented him with the slimy gift.

"Oh wow!" he exclaimed. "Thank you so much. Abby, did you pick this one out for me? Oh wow! I like it."

How sweet! (and slimy!)

Off to the Races - Apr 13

A harness horse racing track just opened in FL...we were a bit curious. So last Sunday we went to check it out.
The HORSEYS were SO cool! And SO fast!

Abby got to touch this horse on the nose....twice! She was ecstatic and kept telling everyone she touched the horse's nose.

Joe placed a bet...and won....we were ahead by $1.50...and then Abby & mommy got ice cream...and spent our winnings!
