Abby continues to grow and gain new skills. Recently she gained her balance and can sit up on her own. In addition she has started crawling army style. With elbows on the ground moving frankly she thrusts with her legs and lunges forward with sharp movements. It’s fun to put a toy outside her reach and watch her got after it. She is amazingly quick.

Ramona is preparing Timothy a costume for a harvest party we plan to have with some friends. It’s actually turned into a birthday party, but all the kids will dress up for it none-the-less. Our little pirate is ready to go he just needs a sword. For the safety of the other children it might be better he go without this last piece of his costume. The waterproof mascara proved harder to remove than first thought. Timothy had to wear his mustache a little longer than intended. :-)
