Playtime!
Someone's very very close to crawling--she actually did a couple of times today. She's definitely full of beans!
I thought this would be an appropriate photo for my first "play" blog post of the month! Kind of squeaking under the wire, time-wise, but it all counts. (Right?)

Li'l Miss Happyface
Abby loves to be talked to, and she's beginning to "talk" back. She has a habit of smiling and grinning as soon as the camera's done clicking!
Abby's Baptism
Abby with her parents and godparents--and, of course, sister Audrey! It was a lovely day and a nice ceremony to welcome her into our Catholic community!

Mad Sippycup Skillz!
Abby can hold her own sippycup, drink from it, swing it around, and have another swallow. She doesn't want help, either!

Another Birthday
Today (8-8) would have been my dad's 94th birthday. He didn't quite make it--my father-in-law passed away on his 94th--but all he had cared about was living to be older than his mother. And that he succeeded in doing!
So, kind of a bittersweet day today, remembering the "old days" and the good past times. I sure hope he and Ma are having a good time together again!

A Last Goodbye
This was taken on my last visit with my Dad, on June 18. He passed away peacefully on June 30.
Vaya con dios, Dad. You will be missed, and long remembered.

My Accomplishment!
From Dear Jane at Asilomar: the blue and white ones are mine. This is what I have to show for a week of concentrated effort! 6 blocks and 3 triangles--plus I have 4-5 more blocks in partial stages of completion. Jane A. Stickle was very fond of appliqueing melons, apparently!

Pea Pod Baby
Abby loves to be talked to! Today she was in a very mellow mood, although she didn't have much to "say."

Graduation!
Mom and kids. Brian is now a junior so in two years we'll repeat this scene! Way to go, Kristin! We're so proud and happy for you! Your dad would be thrilled and delighted too. (I'm sure he and your Grandpa Bob are up there cheering you on!)

After a Long Night of Knitting...
... I could still manage a smile! I did it! 10 pm to 8am, knitting and rocking to raise money for a cure!

Belle Nuit, with Fur
Had a photo shoot on some of my current WIPs tonight. Hi-Hi was helping out. The blue beads are actually part of the shawl; the green ones are stitch markers.
More pictures of yarny goodness (and catly beauty) on my Flickr page. I seem to be suffering from terminal tiredness today (for no good reason) so this is it. Hey, it's a post, right?

Smile!
Abby's learning to smile for the camera--or for Grandma, who's behind the camera.
Yes, this blog is still alive. I'm not committing to NaBloPoMo, but I am going to try to post more regularly.
But this is all you're getting today. More Abigail cuteness on my Flickr page--linky's over there!

My blue suede shoes
Went on a shoe-shopping spree and this is one of the pairs I got. I also got the same style in a light beige. I haven't had new shoes, with one exception, since I got back from my trip to France--in 2007! So it was high time.
The one exception was the pair of New Balances with the oversized laces--the ones that got caught in the screen door and tripped me up! Yes, I'm still trying to recover from that fall--haven't worn those shoes since. I'm mad at them!
Anyway, I took a little trip down to the outlet mall at Lake Elsinore, and found the Naturalizer outlet. Oh my. Shoes with Dr. Scholl's gel insoles and extra heel padding! My feet are almost happy!
