Our summer has come to an end, and school has started back for us. Our students come tomorrow. I'm sure Dan and I will both be completely exhausted next week! We are looking forward to having a great year, though.
Abby has started a new day care and is slowly adjusting. After just a few days there, she loves to sing her ABCs, the hokey pokey, and The Wheels on the Bus. So far, she has done fun things like painting, making play doh, playing outside, and playing in shaving cream. I can tell she is going to love it there and soak up so much knowledge.
Potty training has been going great! (Knock on wood). Abby has been doing a great job! She has an occasional accident at school, but that's to be expected. She must have really been ready - either that or she is a genius. I'm leaning toward genius.

Moving to Baton Rouge
No, not us. But, we helped my sister, Melissa, move there at the beginning of August. She will be getting her masters in Speech (public speaking, not speech therapy) at LSU. Geaux Tigers!
We spent some time with Melissa's friends (and ours) Kadee and Freddie. We got a chance to eat some gooooood seafood!!! I didn't realize how hard good seafood would be to find in Texas.
These are some views of and from the Mississippi River Bridge (not a good one if you're not a fan of bridges). It was a nice trip. It was really neat to see Melissa's next step in her life. I am very proud of her.
By Myself!
Well, the latest thing Abby likes to do by herself is take a shower. It's quite cute and quite easy for us. We can just sit on the edge and lather her up from there. I wonder how many other 2 year old shower by themselves?Monday, August 13, 2007
I've been "tagged"
The Rules:
1. I have to post these rules before I give you the facts.2. Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.3. People who are tagged need to write their own blog (about their eight things) and post these rules. (**if you’re a non-blogger, you can email them!)4. At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.5. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog
Here are my 8 (that seems like so many) random facts:
1. I've never had braces. I've been blessed with very nice teeth. Thank you, Lord. I pray those genes are dominant.
2. Spiders give me the major heebie jeebies. However, we seem to have adopted one (a big one) as a pet. We have a "banana spider" on our balcony that we have decided not to kill since he seems to like eating pesky bugs. The pest guy told us it was a "banana spider" - after a search on wikipedia (which almost ended Spidey's life) - we discovered that there is a South American banana spider (extremely poisonous) and a North American one (helpful in eating bugs). Once we discovered we didn't have the South American spider, we decided not to kill him.

(I had to add the picture, so everyone else could get the heebies!)
3. I love pasta. I could eat it at every meal and be perfectly content.
4. I love my family - I believe I have the best husband and daughter ever!
5. Lately, I've been enjoying listening to books on tape/CD in my car. Nothing mind stimulating - medical mysteries.
6. I really like reality tv - some favorites are: Amazing Race, Top Chef, The Bachelor, most of the MTV ones, etc...
7. I tend to err on the lazy side - sometimes "good enough" is just what is needed. :)
8. I broke both pinkie toes this summer. The first (my left toe) was a nasty run-in with a phone book - the second (my right toe) was an unfortunate meeting with a lawn mower tire. I'm not sure if I have fragile toe bones or walk with a fierce verocity to my stride. Whatever the cause, I pray those genes are recessive. :)
I have no other friends that blog (other than you, Stephanie) that I could send this to. I guess I'll send it to Melissa and have it cross over to the myspace world.
