Raising Money for Down Syndrome in Honor of Abbie

Can you resist this little face? (Not mine, ignore that!)

On May 12, 2010, my gorgeous niece Abbie was born. As some of you know, she is enhanced! She has an extra chromosome which means that she has Down Syndrome. On October 24, there will be a Buddy Walk in Georgetown benefiting Down Syndrome. Our team is called Abbie's Army. I encourage you to join our team, donate to our cause, or both!!! The link below will tell you more about Abbie and allow you to make donations. If you would like to join us in the walk, please let me know and I can send you the registration information. Thank you in advance!!

As of today, we are at 40% of our goal. It would be so great to meet and/or exceed our goal early. This is a fabulous cause for the most fabulous little girl!

Go Astros!

Adam took Olivia to her first Astros home game tonight. She loves the Astros almost as much as her dad.

Liv At The Museum

I have not talked to my little lady in 4 days and I miss her so much. She decided that it was easier on her not to call us. We have been getting daily updates from Adam's parents, but nothing directly from Liv. These are some pics of her at the museum. Looks like fun!

My Little Pony

Amanda brought me a rubber band yesterday and put it up on her head. She wanted a ponytail. We tried. I think she looks like Pebbles with a side pony!

Liv's First Day with PaPa and Happy

Liv is spending this week in Houston with her PaPa and Happy (Adam's dad and step-mom). Yesterday they took her to NASA. I received lots of pictures via e-mail of their trip. It looks like so much fun. My favorite is the one of Olivia in the space helmet. I remember wanting to be an astronaut when I was young and I bet Liv will feel the same way after her day at NASA! I miss her, but it looks like she is having plenty of fun and staying busy!!!

Singing in Church (Or Not?)

All of the kids that attended VBS last week were invited to wear their t-shirts and sing in church on Sunday. Olivia was so excited. She talked about it all weekend. When it was time for the kids to go up front, she was one of the first to go. She got in her place on stage and the music started...

She burst into tears. I had to go up front and she ran off stage and into my arms. I asked her several times if she wanted to try again but she refused. Oh well, maybe next year!

**If you cannot tell, I took these pictures before the music (and the tears) started!

Love These Girls!

The girls are learning to play together so well. The sharing thing is coming along...not perfected, but coming along. Olivia is always boss, which as the oldest I can understand! HAHA! I just love watching them play and have fun together. Sisters are the best!
