Doggie play date

Our friends Travis and Apryl brought home a new puppy last weekend. His name is Sawyer and he is a Brittany Spaniel. Oh he was soooo cute. Joey wasn't too interested in Sawyer and he definitely didn't like the puppy getting near his treat. I'm sure one day they'll be good friends. Abby realized that being nibbled on by puppy teeth isn't fun. Here's what I got before the camera battery died.

Update...

Here we were having a blast dancing at a birthday party. Abby was breaking it down!

Sorry to say we're not very interesting lately. Brian has been busy working about 55 hours a week. He does his accounting job (where he is thriving) during the week and goes to the Apple store on the weekends. He has also been playing guitar for the worship team and involved in the church's men's group. He made soup to feed 25 of them for tomorrow night.
Abby is growing like a weed. She was in 18 month clothing for the longest time and is now eating everything in sight. She eats her veggies, all kinds of fruit, yogurt/fruit smoothies, cheese, cheerios and gold fish to name a few of her favorites. The Elmo phase has not ended. She loves watching Sesame Street and learns a lot from it.
I recently visited a Nutritionist to discus some alternative treatments for my health. After some testing she concluded that my digestive system does not tolerate certain foods very well and believes if I follow a strict diet it will heal my gut. Some things I am not suppose to eat are wheat, dairy, or sugar. We'll see how this goes. I'm learning how to be creative with my food and not focus my life around it. If it gives me better quality of life I'm all for it. The hard part is when we are with friends/family because food is such a social thing. Everyone we have hung out with has been so supportive and encouraging.
Last Friday our church was showing the movie Fireproof for free. Brian and I took advantage of a free date and saw it. It was actually a good movie and worth watching if you haven't already. Abby and I are getting ready to go out to CA with Tim and Jess. We are looking forward to seeing Rob, Esther and Ashley. I'm a little down that Brian can't come with us again, but the three of us are planning a trip sometime in June after Abby's new cousin arrives. I guess that's it for now :) Thanks for checking in on us!

Art Show

Friday night we went to one of our very talented friend's art show and website launch. Check out Bryn's work at www.artbybryn.com and see his God given gift.

Terrible Twos

This is what happens when you try to send an e-mail while watching a toddler. Not a good idea. Abby successfully unscrewed my brand new mascara and had her way with it. Somehow she knew it was suppose to go on her face.

"help"

Abby can be such a good helper around the house. One of my favorites is when she helps unload the dishwasher. She comes over and says, "help" and then starts with the silverware. I love it! Even if I do end up organizing it at the end.

Thanks baby!

They are pretty!
