Progression of a Smile

Abby is smiling! Here is the progression as I was having trouble getting a really good picture of her smiling....

I see you mommy!

So happy!

Little smirk

Just being cute

It's just so much work being adorable!

Abby Update

We wanted y'all to have an idea of what Abby's treatment looks like, so here goes!

At least once a week, we go to TSRH to have Abigail's casts taken off, her legs and feet evaluated and then more casts back on. This is how they take her casts off:

Waiting at the hospital for the doctor

First, they use a mini-electric saw to create a "fault" in the plaster

Next they use something like pliers to open the casts

Most recent picture of her feet

Passed out after having her next casts put on- it takes a lot out of her!

Latest set of casts

We are so amazed by God's work to heal our precious baby girl. Thank you Lord for your goodness to our family!

Let's Go Stars!

For our Anniversary I got Keith tickets for us to see a Dallas Stars game. It was my first Stars game, although not my first NHL game. This was my second. :o) I have to say, I enjoyed myself immensely and foresee many more Stars games in our future. Go Stars!

Celebrating Three Years

On the 28th Keith and I celebrated three years of marriage. And what a ride it has been!

My mom drove up from Houston to watch the kiddos for us so we could go out on the town. I had no idea what the plans were, Keith was being so secretive. He loves to surprise me because he knows how much I love surprises! A picture of the family before we headed out:

First stop was dinner at Olive Garden! I had missed it so much while we were gone. We enjoyed a delicious feast of Italian goodness. After that, we went to The Cheesecake Factory for dessert. Another craving I had been having! Here is a picture of Keith enjoying his cheesecake:

After dessert, we walked across the street to a mall and I could not figure out what we were doing. But Keith had arranged for us to see the 3D movie "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs". It was such a cute movie and we had a lot of fun, as you can tell from the pictures. When we got in to the theater we were the only ones there!
