My Magnolia..

The most beautiful Magnolia Tree around. I love this tree.

This was my mothers day gift in 2007 and it is the first year we have been able to enjoy the blossoms.

Hoppy Easter!

Abigail dying her Easter Eggs......And her hands.

Abigail going through her Easter Basket. Yeah I got bath Crayons!!!

The first egg hunt. After the first few eggs Abby realized she was on a Easter egg hunt and put them all in her basket.

The second egg hunt with her cousins outside that evening.

I always thought I would record every single new thing Abby did or said, but I never realized how chaotic everything would be and Mommy would lose her head.(I will update more when I get to the papers that are throughout the office and last years calendar. :( )
She now has 8 teeth, they work wonderful since she does not realize it hurts when she bites, has taken 4 steps without holding on, says momma, dadda, hi, kitty, up, bob (haha had to add that one), baba for bottle, awwoohh, wow, goose, meows, barks, crows, jeez, gives kisses and the best loves, claps, gives high fives, points to eyes and nose, and I'm sure I will be adding more when the brain is working. Of course she is spoiled silly. I cant help it I'm sure I will pay for it later with the temper tantrums. After waiting 12 years to hold her I am never letting her go. One of my favorite times is at about 5:30am (most days) when I hear her fussing and go to her room and she is waiting with the biggest smile and hug and I bring her in to my bed and cuddle until the sun comes up. Don and I are sooooo very blessed to have her in our lives.
