I'm back!

Watch out! Abby is growing up super fast!


I guess I took the summer off. Sorry about that. I am back now and here it is, a hodgepodge of pictures that 100% does not tell even half of what we did this summer. But it does give you a glimpse...

Let's see, Abby experienced a lot of angst at not being able to swim, wear goggles and/or water wings in a pool instantly, whenever she wanted.


We played ballerina, princess, photographer a lot and Abby used to word booooootiful a lot too.


Had boootiful parties with friends.


Perfected a very dramatic pout.


Discovered a new LOVE for tattoos.


Oh and bootiful ballerina crowns.


We had a lot of picnics.


And a few hikes.... and now I guess Summer is over.


It's also been a big Summer for Abby because she now sleeps in a big girl bed (actually this happened in the Spring, but I kept thinking I'd get and angelic sleeping picture of her to document it and it never happened). But she's pretty proud of her big girl bed, so here it is:


And look at the cool tent that Anne-Lise Hurn made - check out her amazing goods on her site here: http://www.littleorangeroom.com/

Also this little wonder is potty trained!!! Here she is with a celebratory lollypop.


And, last but not least, she started preschool! She LOVED her first day and is so excited to go back. She's been talking about it all week. Here she is on her first day. She picked out this outfit (I had to dig the 'telephone' shirt out of the too small pile - we haven't worn it in weeks so it must really be a favorite since she asked for it directly) and I told her to act excited for the picture and this is what she did. I'm not sure what to make of it, but just so you know, she was really, really excited - so maybe she's just a little confused on what the word excited means?
