Happy Birthday, Abigail!

Abigail is celebrating her 14th birthday today! She spent her birthday morning by sleeping late, having a leisurely breakfast, taking a quick bath, and then settling in for a long nap. This afternoon, Mike and I placed the birthday hat upon her head so that we could sing happy birthday to her and take pictures. This was obviously her favorite part of the day! Then, we presented her with her gift, a little "house" in which she can crawl and find a cozy place to take another nap.

Barney Parney Poo!

Today after dinner, Mike and I spent the final fleeting moments of daylight welcoming our new winter addition to our home... Barney the Snowman!

Barney has a nice smile. We even grew his nose in our garden!

As usual, I supervised as Mike did most of the work. Yes, it's hard being in charge all the time, but somebody has to do it. ;-)

Go Mike Go!

First Snow
