Lovies

For all of you that know Abigail, you know to go to sleep she MUST have her lovey to go to sleep. Her Aunt Catie gave her a Pink Gund doggie when she was 11 days old and she has slept with it every night since.

Today we learned that Loveys are not just for babies. Sixty year old men get a lot of use out of them too :)

Breakfast with Sam...(and Teesa)

We had the pleasure of having breakfast with our friends Teesa and Sam today. It was a lot of fun...to meet and talk of them. You can read more about them at her blog http://www.klearlife.blogspot.com/ Here are some pictures of us at Shoneys for breakfast.

And to give you a comparison of how GRAND her trophy is. This is one with her "litle person"

Proof that I have no control

To preface this, if you do not know yet: I HATE DORA!! I do not like her at all, dont like the show, the over commercialism anything. I find that she is whiny and pandering to kids intellects. We don't watch the show, we don't own the clothes, you will not find us within 10 feet of anything dora. Even if we get them as hand me downs...we only wear the Dora free parts [:)] If I have not made my point clear, I HATE DORA



NOw on with my story...

Abigail got a bitty baby while we were in NYC from the American Girl Store. For the past 2 days she has been walking around with it. She really loves her "daby". Tonight she came up to me and said "Daby kiss." So I kissed the doll, and then asked her what was her baby's name. Out of her mouth came that dreaded word "Dora".... it is all downhill from here.

A room with a View

We are staying at the Hilton Garden Inn and it is a beautiful hotel!

Here is the view from our room on the 21st floor!

The Enforcer

What was meant to be a simple photo shoot, for Abigail's new love ... baseball (notice the Yankees shirt)turned out hysterical. She would not smile, nor act appropriate, but we did get to see Abigail's true Sicilian roots showing.
