Once upon a time . . .

Hello All!!! Remember us??? My apologies, we have been absent from the "blog-scene" for some time now!! Have you ever neglected to write in your journal for a long (long) time, and then when you sit down and open up your journal to "update" you find yourself completely overwhelmed because SOOO MUCH has happened and you don't know where to start . . . and you only have a few minutes to jot a few things down before the baby wakes up??? Well, that is me right now! So, I have decided that I will just begin with today and not worry about the last 2 month absence!

I would first like to introduce you to my very own fairy tale castle (complete with my very own Prince) . . .






Our HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can you believe it???? It went from a bunch of weeds to this!?!?!? Well, we are super excited about it! Our scheduled closing date is Feb 26th!! yippee!!!

Before I let you go . . . this most wonderful part of our life . . .






Our beautiful Abigail Lynn is 7 months old TODAY!!!!!! She is such a doll!! Abigail continues to be quite advanced in her verbal abilities!!!! She says "Dadada", "Mamama", "Nanana" and "dah-ee" ("doggy"--for Alabama)!!! She loves to play on her tummy or sitting up on the floor (especially with Ala), snuggle with Jake and I, jump in her jump-a-roo, read books, go visit Grammie, go on walks, BE OUTSIDE-- (even in the cold-- she loves it!!), and laugh!!!! Abigail is such a sweet little joy!!! With each stage she has had I've said, "This is the best stage" . . . but really... this is the best stage!!

We are loving life here in Washington!!! Love to you all!!
