Abigail continues to grow up at a remarkable pace. She is now putting together 3 word sentences and is very expressive. She wants to be a big kid all the time. She and Andrew share donuts when we have them. They take a bite and then butt heads...sometimes the chocolate gets a little messy.
Here she is trying to wear Andrew's hat after he came in from outside.
Madi and Andrew are both doing well at at school. Madi performed in her orchestra and choir concerts. Andrew has taken up the trumpet and is doing well with it. Andrew is also playing basketball this winter. I have the opportunity to coach his team and it is alot of fun. They continue to be great siblings to Abigail and help out with caring for her. Here is a group photo that was taken this month.
Christmas was good for all. Madi got typical teen stuff...an ihome for her room and mainly gift cards for clothes and money for her new room. Andrew got many cool 10 year old toys...an air hog helicopter and remote control car, some lego transformers and of course sports equipment and clothes.
Andrew and I both got Philadelphia Eagles shirts from Uncle Trevor.
Abigail got many cool toys for Christmas. She got a cookie monster that eats cookies, a rock'n elmo, a buckle bear, toy story character potato heads and new car amongst her many toys.
Construction on our addition has really taken off this month. We are under roof, have walls, windows and even heat. We are finalizing our appliance and furniture purchases. Hopefully, we will be complete over the next 5-6 weeks. Here are some pictures of the progress.
We hope you had a joyous and safe holiday season. Please feel free to share your own family updates with us. Best wishes in 2012.
