End of January 2012 - Abby is 2!!

This month was dominated by two things...the addition to the house and Abby's birthday. The addition is moving along...at the end of the month, construction was nearly completed on the new portion and work began on the inside of the house. This has begun a challenging time of no kitchen or table and living within the construction materials and dust. We are anticipating completion of the project the third week in Feb. I will post pictures of the completed project then....here are pics of the progress to this point.









Due to the construction, we had Abby's 2 year old party at Rebekah's business center. It provided a nice play for the party. In attendance were both grandparents; two great grandmothers; Uncle Jeremy, Aunt Susan, Megan and Lauren; Bob, Kathy, Matt and Rebecca Negro; Walt, Linda and Tara; Karla and Nicole Intile. The food was Abby's favorite junk food: Pizza, Cheese Curls, Potato Chips, Lemonade and of course cake. Her theme was Toy Story because she is currently into Buzz, Woody, Jessy and Bulleye. She received some little people zoo animals and some other cool gifts. Her big gift was vtech camera. A good time was had by all...here are some pics.













Abby did enjoy a left over cupcake near bedtime to end the night...


Madi continues to do well. She was selected for County Chorus and received an honorable mention in a national writing contest for her short story. Andrew is also doing well...his basketball team that I coach is off to a 4-0 start...he continues to improve and really enjoy basketball...This spring Madi is going to join the Middle School track team and Andrew is going to play little league baseball for a second year...

Looking forward to the addition being completed and to spring and its activities...Until next time...
