Happy Birthday MOM!!!! ...and Little Miss Abigail!

This is what I found when I walked in the kitchen. She was hungry and looking for Cheerios (after pulling her diaper off).

This is after Abby found my "Diet Mt. Dew" on the floor.

Abby finding the box of tissues.

Abby, very excited, to have found her "own" candy cane.




She is working as hard as she can to eat it as fast as she can. She was a little upset when I found her and took it away.

Christmas Time...

Our first chance to get a "real" tree!

This is really about the only picture from Christmas Day...pretty sad.

Matt and Tammy put out "luminarias", which is a tradition in Taos on Christmas Eve.

First snowfall in Houston in ten years.

Will decorating the tree the day after Thanksgiving with Mom and Dad.
