Abbie Loves Her Sissy

Elissa always teases me and calls me the baby whisperer. I am not a baby whisperer by a long shot but Abbie does smile at me every time I get her in my arms. She has started cooing at me too. We tried to catch her big grin last night but just managed to get this cute pic!

Princess Dance Camp

Olivia and her friend Brooklyn went to Princess Dance Camp last week. They had such a good time. On Friday, they had a recital for the parents. The girls did the most adorable dance and they all looked so cute.

Friday Night Fun

We had Reagan and Abbie spend the night on Friday night so Elissa and Steve could celebrate their 5th wedding anniversary. The girls had so much fun playing and having a sleepover, even though they all slept in separate rooms. (Reagan and Olivia fight like sisters so sometimes we have to keep them on opposite sides of "the ring." They love each other with that "no holds barred" kind of love!) Anyway, I didn't get any pictures of the girls playing, but I did take an adorable shot of Liv holding Abbie and Adam teaching Abbie to root for the Astros. She was doing a little fist pump and we were sure she said her first words, "Go Astros!"

Long Time...

I haven't blogged in over a week. We haven't had too much going on and I haven't taken many pictures and most of my blogs revolve around pictures. Here is what IS going on...

Liv got her ears pierced last Saturday. She has talked about doing it for several months but has never actually gone through with it. Last weekend she randomly told me that she was ready. I agreed to take her but only if she actually did it. And she did! She was so proud and she looks so cute with her blue stone earrings!

Liv has been going to dance camp this week and she started cheerleading. You would think that she would be worn out, but she is still full of energy and sass!

Amanda is talking more and more every day. She says "Head-O" (Translation: Hello) which is my absolute favorite. She will no longer ride in a stroller and just wants to keep up with her big sister.

I am still rolling along. Tired and ready for #3 to arrive, but also just trying to enjoy my summer and my girls!

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!
