Happy Birthday Abbie!

April 17th, 2006 a little baby girl joined our lives... our precious Abigail Rae. She had an amazing ability to laugh and share her joy even though her little body went through so much.

I miss you baby....

The picture is from Abbie's first birthday when she joyously discovered her Daddy's yummy sandwich

A delayed Easter joke from Eliana....

What does a bunny say?

rabbit... rabbit....

What is worse???

So what is worse:
1) That someone actually wrote a book called Pride & Prejudice & Zombies (see for yourself: http://www.amazon.com/Pride-Prejudice-Zombies-Classic-Ultraviolent/dp/1594743347)

2) That a good friend bought the book and is supporting the ruin of a classic Austin novel

3) That hollywood is already fighting for the rights to produce the movie....
and I thought the Bollywood version was bad (okay, I thought it was bad but entertaining! Who doesn't love seeing Mr Darcy dance bollywood style?)

Raelyn funnies...

I have started to teach Raelyn the kid's catechism questions & answers. The first question is "who made you?"; the answer is "God".
Raelyn was getting pretty good at answering until I decided to have her show off her new skill....
I asked her... "Raelyn, who made you?"
and she answered.... "Daddy"

It is kind of a right answer just not the one I was anticipating. Needless to say, I got a good laugh out of it!

The girls...

Here are the girls enjoying the Florida warm weather. They LOVE being together!

My husband... the beast!

While we were in DisneyWorld we went to Belle's story hour. During the show, Belle picks out people from the audience to participate in telling her story (Beauty & the Beast). Long story short... the best laugh I had during vacation was watching my husband play the beast. He did a GREAT job!

Here he is shocking Belle with his magnificent roar.....

and showing off his romantic side... watch out Belle - he's mine! ;)

different personalities... same gene pool

I thought you might enjoy this little snippet into our girls personalities. A "friend" of ours left Billy Bass fish at our house while we were gone one night and rigged him up so that he would go off when we walked into the room. The girls have gotten a good kick out of Billy, although Eliana needed some time to warm up to it. If you look closely in the video you will see Eliana flinching when she gets close to Billy and Raelyn dancing and trying to play with him. One timid, and one not understanding the meaning of the word..... and yet they come from the same gene pool :)

Oh... but they do both love to dance... I hope you enjoy Eliana's groovy moves!
