Tooth #2

Abby lost her 2nd baby tooth tonight while she was brushing her teeth before bed. She was almost as excited this time as she was the 1st.

Abby's 1st Dance Recital

After learning tap and ballet all year long, Abby was so excited for recital week. She had 3 rehearsals and then came the day for the recital. Abby always wakes up between 7:45 and 8:30. When she didn't wake up by 8:45, I went and woke her up. She was very tired, but we got her up to get ready for Sunday School. She came downstairs and did nothing but lay on the couch, which is very unusual for Abby. I decided we had better stay home from Sunday school and see what was going on, and after already taking a nap in the little bit of time she was awake, I went over to check on her. As soon as I touched her I knew. She was hot and had a fever of 101. At least it wasn't nerves, which I didn't think it would be because she just absolutely loves to dance around and even does it outside in the driveway. We gave her pepto-bismol and Motrin for the fever and 5 minutes later she threw up. I guess she decided to get the flu on the worst day of the year. The Motrin got her fever down enough for her to still go to the recital and dance, but as you can see in the pictures, she was definitely sick. She wouldn't miss this day for anything :)

My Garden

Some things look really good for this time of year, and some are just ok. A few things didn't come up at all, but overall I am happy with it so far.

Abby's Turning 6

Abby got a new 2 wheel bike from Mommy and Daddy for her birthday. She really likes her new bike and it was difficult to get her off it to come in the house.  Happy Birthday Sweetheart!!

Nice Spring Days

Easter

On Saturday, Aunt Cindy had an Easter party for the kids.  She had them decorate a bag for their egg hunt, look for Easter eggs, and eat lunch that Grandma prepared. They were definitely wound up and very excited.  They had a great time and even baby Charlie got to participate.  Thanks Aunt Cindy and Grandma/Great Grandma.  The other 2 pictures are Abby and Maria all dressed up for church on Sunday.  The girls love getting new dresses for spring.

Sun!!

Finally, a few hours of sunshine.
