A Long Holiday

Let me start with - "It's been almost a month since I've posted" and so much happened. Abby started softball season and is playing well. She got a GREAT hit and later scored at last night's game. She entered an essay in the Academic Rodeo at the fair for the second year in a row. She won 1st place. She also entered the spelling bee (which isn't really a bee) and the math bee (which again is just a test). She tied for second in spelling, but got beat out in a tie breaker - still got a trophy for 3rd. AND she won 1st in the math bee. She came home with $100 in savings bonds and three trophies. That was on a Sunday. On Tuesday, she and Cooper modeled in the fashion show. Grammy made a Abby a nightshirt out of pink John Deere material and Cooper a pair of pjs with bucking horses on them. Both were hams.

Cooper has really turned into a terrible two! I thought it couldn't get any worse. One minute he's so sweet and then... We're working on it. We take him to the eye doctor on Monday and he's going to do a full work-up (whatever that means). This time he is going to let him "read" the vision chart and see what he can see. He knows all of the pictures on the chart and even the letters on that chart. Once we do that, we'll dialate and wait. Usually we dialate on the way so we don't have to sit, but since he wants to try the charts this time...

Tim has been really busy at school. I guess that's just the way it is.

I'm taking Abby with a friend and her mom to see the Hannah Montana movie today, so I'll try to post pictures from the last month this evening or tomorrow or maybe Sunday after egg hunts.
