Sometimes I blog so that I'll remember things later...
Abigail went to see her first movie in a theater this week. We watched "Horton Hears A Who". It was precious to watch her face gaze in awe at the huge screen. When the previews finished and the movie was about to start, she looked at me with the most beautiful, innocent, childlike anticipation and asked with wonder in her eyes "Is Horton coming now?" I can't capture the essence of that moment, but it was heart-wrenchingly beautiful to share with her.
Abigail has started calling us "Mom" and "Dad" sometimes, instead of always "Mommy" and "Daddy". (little tear...my girl is growing up so fast!)
Some more adorable Abigailisms:
Maz-a-geen = magazine
Jamma Man = Gingerbread man
The alphabet song goes like this: “ABCDHFG, Nex time wont you sing wif me?” (repeat 3 times)
She loves to give her sisters hugs and kisses, and often says "I wuv you, sister."
Spring is coming!
We've had a couple days of incredible weather. We took advantage of the 70-degree weather and took a walk to the park.
There are also a few more new pictures in the March Album.
Easiest cake in the world
Ingredients 1 box cake mix (any kind will work, but spice cake seems to taste the best with this) 1 can pumpkin (not pumkin pie filling, but just straight-up 100% pumpkin) 1 tub cream cheese frosting (optional)
Instructions Combine 1 can pumpkin and 1 box cake mix until well mixed. (Do not add any other ingredients listed on the cake mix instructions, ONLY the pumpkin and dry mix.) Pour batter into pan and bake according to directions on box. (Usually at 350 for somewhere between 20-30 minutes, depending on the pan size and type. I check the cake 5 minutes before the box says it will be done.) If desired, frost with cream cheese frosting and enjoy.
Abigail and I made this super-scrumptious pumpkin spice cake for Kris' birthday. It's the easiest cake in the world to make, and it's very moist and tasty.

I'm getting back in the groove of taking pictures frequently (I took 288 in January), but I still haven't found my way back into blogging. Check the Picasa Web Albums if you want to see updated photos.
February's album is posted now.
And I have one video up in February's Video album.
Below is a small selection from January's photos:
