Easter Night!

Easter night we had the whole Easter dinner spread with the Anawski family. Good food, good family, good times!

Easter Day!

Easter morning we went to church with family at St. Therese. Abby looked so cute in her Easter dress, with her little purse.

More Easter Fun!!!

We had John, Mandee & Amalee over for a small Easter egg hunt and brunch. Abby wasn't too into the egg hunt - but Amalee was really great at finding the eggs! For brunch I made all the yummy breakfast things that my mom taught me, and it was pretty yummy if I do say so myself!

Abby's first Skyforce Game!

Abby went to her first Skyforce game at the Arena. Our friend Andrea won tickets and invited us - the seats where GREAT!! They where really close. Abby enjoyed all the excitment, lights and music!

Easter Celebration Week!

Grandma was going to be gone on Easter day - so she came up the weekend before to celebrate with us! Easter fun started early for us! Abby had a blast going through her first Easter basket this year. Her favorite part at first was sifting through all the fake grass (and making a mess everywhere!!!) But after Mommy cleaned up - she had fun with her new books, and eggs, hopping chick and all the other fun things!

Abby & Bobby

Abby and Bobby have become the best of friends (allthough - I am not sure Bobby agrees) Abby loves to use Bobby as a pillow and anytime she can catch him he gets lots of lovin'. We secretly think Bobby likes it - even though he acts like he doesn't!

Abby and her "ney-ney"

For the first months of Abby's life Todd and I tried to make several different stuffed animals and blankets "the one" for Abby. She never cared until there was "ney-ney" (which is work blankie in 11 month old language). She was instantly hooked and ney-ney has not left Abby's side since! When it's in the wash - Abby will check the was several times until it's done (lucky for Mommy & Daddy) we do have one back up. Abby already looks a little worn for the wear as she has been washed SEVERAL times, but this pink blankie has become a loved member of the household.

We don't complain about anything that helps a toddler calm down or go to bed! so ney-ney is here to stay!

Butterfly House

Daddy got Abby two tickets to the Butterfly House and Abby of course took her best buddy Amalee!

Spring "tease"

We had a few days last week that teased us with thoughts of spring! It was 50 degrees and everyone was outside! Only in South Dakota can you see people out in shorts picking at snow/ice chunks in their driveways. We spent as much time as possible outside these days, and Abby loved every minute of it.

Abby LOVES her anmial train!

Abby got the 'Animal Train" from Grandma for Christmas. She LOVES it!!! I am not sure who loves it more though - Abby or Mommy who enjoys finding her all the new animals that come out!

Amalee & Abby

Looking goregous as ever in play jewerly

Our Angel!

Abigail Updates!

These last few months have not been the most fun for Abby! She has been sick a lot - after getting over RSV - she ended up with pneumonia and just when she was almost over that she had a stomach bug!!! We are hoping that spring will be here soon, and we will all start feeling better!

Abby had her 15 month old appointment - and she was doing well (besides all the recent illness!) She is 24.8 lbs. and is pretty tall - she is in the 90% for her height and 75% for her weight. She is doing very well developmentally. She talks all the time, and is even starting to put a few words together. Her favorite things are still her books and her babies. And you won't see her very often without her "ney-ney" which is what she calls her pink blankie! She is happy and for the most part healthy - and we are having lots of fun as she enters the toddler phase of her life!

This week abby had her first appointment with the Allergy and Asthma doctor. They did some testing to finally find out once and for all if Abby has allergies and what exactly too. We ended up with good news and bad news. Good news is she at this time has no allergies!! whooo-hooo! The bad news is, she does have infant asthma. We will have to nebulizer treatments to help her lung strength and hopefully this will help her from getting sick all the time! And the good news is most of the time they grow out of this asthma! So we are happy to finally have some answers to her constant upper respitory problems!

happy Valentines Day!
