Happy St. Patricks Day!

I have officially lost my mind

While waiting for water to boil to make scalloped potatoes, I peeled potatoes to make mashed. Yes. I. did.

Here's Abby!

So here is sweet Abby. It's hard to believe she is 4 1/2 years old! She's in her second year of preschool. Last year she went T/Th and this year she started in the MWF class, but after only one week, we quickly realized she was ready for more, so we pulled her out and moved her into the "Big Room" and she goes 5 days a week. She loves it and is doing great. Like Lilly, she is one of the youngest in the class and also one of the tallest! She loves everything about school. She tested into kindergarten and at her mid-year parent/teacher conference they agreed she was ready! Even though, because of her late August birthday, she qualifies for the transitional kindergarten and so we've decided to give her a year of preppy-k! She is, as are we, super excited for next year!

She loves puppies, both real and plush. She loves to ride her bike and she loves to go to the park. She also loves to swim and recently started going under and touching the bottom of the shallow end with her hands! And this is without ever having had a swim lesson! She was discharged from her PT about 2 years ago, and wears her brace every day to school. She's going in for an OT eval soon, just to see if there is anything we need to work on before kinder. You would never know looking at her that at one point in her life she weighed only 1 pound 13 ounces, that's for sure. We are so proud of her. She just never ceases to amaze us.
