Emily Visit!

Ellie & Abby's cousin Emily was in town over spring break visiting all her grandparents. Lucky for us, she had time to stop by for a bit on Saturday before she headed back to Alabama.

Hooray for a few hours to hang out with Emily! Cute cousins!!

In just 10 short years, they'll be behind the wheel of the real deal. Can we just keep them in a pink jeep forever?

Sno-ball Season

. . .Well sort of, since it was BEAUTIFUL 70's weather on Friday followed snow flurries on Sunday, but we will just pretend like it's officially spring -- which means: the start of SNO-BALL SEASON!! We love the sweet, rainbow-hued icy creations! The perfect summer treat!

Hitting the snoball stand was the first order of business for Ellie & William's Friday afternoon playdate! And somehow, Abby got my snoball slush away from me... smart girl!

Church Nursery

Ms. Tammy took these sweet photos in the church nursery last Thursday morning. Abby with her beloved Ms. Dorothy (Dorrr-teee!!!). If Abby doesn't get her way with Mommy & Daddy, she starts calling for Ms. Dorothy, as if she's going to swoop in like Mary Poppins and rescue her!
Hugs!!

Ms. Tammy and Abby's friend Katy Ann

Abby's little buddy (and body-guard!) Prentice. He calls her "Ab-ba! Ab-ba!"

Sweet times with Granna

Abby and Granna had a lovely morning in Granna & Papa's yard yesterday. They enjoyed the (finally) warm sun and explored Granna's beautiful garden. Our little bunny in the garden!

Abby Camille admiring a camellia.
Her middle name comes from Granna's love for camellias!

Who's this?

Okay, it's really me, wearing my Granna's necklace. I just came across this photo and couldn't believe how much it reminds me of a dark haired Abby! Her hair flips out the same way.
