Abby and her good friend Anna Boyer. 

In Abby's K4 class, they had a fairy tale dress-up day -- she was the cat who chased the mouse under the princess's throne. (Nope, me either -- still, really cute). 

This is Abby's favorite activity -- if anyone wants to buy her any toys, maybe instead you get her some dish soap and a rag. Cheaper, and saves money on the dishwasher. 

Yes, Sean is actually smiling already, and yes, that's his typical smile. Crooked Jack. 

Abby got Sleeping Beauty gear (dress, wig, and slippers) for her birthday. The wig looks totally natural, no? 

Abby and Madelyn got together this past weekend. Here, they pause, pensive. Most of the rest of the time they ran around screaming. 

Sean and Abby met Ms. Dorschel (a.k.a. Ms. Dorsch) last week. 

Grandma and Grandpa were here last weekend, too, to meet Sean. He seems to like them. 

Abby had her 4th birthday last Saturday -- she got ice cream cake! Huzzah! 

Cutest picture ever... 

Our little monkey. He's a cute monkey. 

Sometimes, it's cool to just hang with Benjamin. Not much in the way of conversation, but he can stare down a squirrel with the best of them. 

Bathing is... well, it's just okay. 

My girls. 

Abby and her friend Hannah went on a drive to the park a few weeks ago. They seem to have enjoyed the ride. 

Parents always look for fruit in their children's lives, to see if their children are growing in wisdom. I take this as an *excellent* sign. 

Oh yeah... I'm cute... for certain... 

Just ponderin'... 

Just sleepin'... 

Just eatin'...
