Aunt Gloria and Aunt Laura handing out presents.

Who needs gifts when we have this yummy paper? Mmm, mmm.

Since Abby likes to play with bottles, Uncle Joshie thought this

would make a perfect gift... Thanks Josh...

Water, water, everywhere

Abby got in her first "major" trouble last night. She has always been a good girl in the bathtub. She sits and plays with her toys. Most of the time whoever is watching her sits on the floor and reads a book. So, when I was working out last night and Chuck had to step away from the tub for a minute, we didn't think anything about it. We could hear her talking and singing, so we knew she wasn't drowning or anything. After about 1 minute, we hear, "I dropped my cup." Chuck went in and there was water EVERYWHERE!!!!! She had been taking cups full and pouring them on the floor. There was water about a 1/2" deep on the bathroom floor. It had spilled out into the hallway and had soaked under the wall into her closet, so the carpet was wet too. How she did that so fast, we still can't figure out. We had to completely empty everything on the floor of her closet. Chuck started the clean up process while I got her out of the tub and got her dressed. She lost all of her tub toys for a week and she had to "help" us clean up (which really was more of a hindrance, but she needed to learn). We had fans on all night and think we got the carpet dried out.
We still can't believe that she did this! It's funny now that it's over, but last night we were both so frustrated!!!! So, note to self: Never trust a 2 year old alone, not even for a second.

Santa Claus!

It has always amazed me how 6 month olds aren't scared of an old guy with a beard, but two year olds are terrified of him. Abby was scared until he gave her a toy, then she was all gung-ho about sitting in his lap! This is at my dad's work. I want to sleep through the night (no wait, that's mommy's wish)

I can't bear to look at you...

Oh, look a bear. Maybe you're not horrible after all.

Christmas play

The kids were in the Christmas play at church. Abby was an angel, unfortunately, I didn't get any good pictures of her. Caleb was a sheep, and he was too stinkin' cute!!! Hopefully someone else got some better pictures of them and I will be able to post more later.

Abby and Caleb get their own comic.....Sort of

Soooo, for the last nine years I have been frequenting the jedi council forums online (the link is over in the links area). I rarely post anymore but after halloween their was a costume pictures thread and I put the family pic up. Since that time Abby and Caleb have been co-starring in a cartoon, without my knowledge, put together by one of the JCC members by the name of Gimer. Here is the cartoon up to this time.

Abby funnies

These are stories that are too long to fit on the sidebar. Our daughter is such a ham, and oh, how I wish she didn't talk so clearly sometimes... or get in so much trouble...

1) The Friday before Christmas, we went to my dad's office to see Santa Claus. My mom took Abby to the potty and a rather large woman walked in (think around 350 lbs.). Abby started asking, "Mammaw, where'd the big mama go? I wanna see the big mama. Where's the big mama? Did the big mama go in that potty?" They were in the middle of washing their hands-mom said she's never been in such a hurry to dry her hands! :)

2)Tonight I was putting Caleb to bed and Abby was happily playing in her room. Chuck was downstairs doing the trash. All of the sudden, I hear Abby saying, "Daddy, I found my medicine, I found my medicine!!!" I remembered that we had put some Hydrogen Peroxide on the sink in her bathroom to use after her bath (she has one ear that is stopped up with ear wax, and the doctor told us that that would help loosen it.) I burped Caleb and put him down as quickly as I could, and came out into the hallway. The smell of peroxide was unmistakalbe. I said, "Abby?" No answer. "Abby" Still no answer (I began to have horrible images of Abby passed out somewhere after drinking a bottle of peroxide-like it could have taken effect in 30 seconds...) "Abby, where are you?" I heard Chuck say, "She's in here."
I walk in and said, "Did she get the peroxide?" Chuck said, "Nope." and held up her bottle of lip gloss. She had found her Dora lip gloss, unscrewed the lid and tried to use the wand of the lip gloss to "help her ear because it hurt". Thankfully she did not damage anything. Chuck was using the peroxide to try to clean out her ear. Does anyone have an extra set of eyes or two that I can use, because apparently you have to watch them 150% of the time... :)

3) Out at my mom's house and Abby is playing with a pair of nail clippers and a nail file she had found laying on the table. (The child can make a game out of anything...) She was playing mommy and baby. My mom hears, "Mammaw, I need your help." Care to guess what she had done? She had dropped the nail clippers down my brother's amplifier! You could hear them clinging around in there, but because of the way the amp. is made, there was no way to get them back out of the hole. My brother got home and had to unscrew the entire bottom of the amp. to get them out.

Nevermind

Scratch that, I fixed it.

Computer Problems

There might not be any more updates for awhile as our computer has decided to stop working. :(
