Happy Memorial Day!

Howdy, pardners!

Hope you're having a great holiday weekend and remember to take time to remember the brave men and women who gave their lives so we could be free!

Mommy and I made a blanket for Grammy and we sent it to Virginia. I helped with the measurements while Mommy did all the sewing. You can see a picture of me helping out below.

Finally, I got Mommy to take a picture with me and Great Aunt Lucia and Great Uncle Joe! Daddy says they check out my blogsite often and it's about time we let you know what they look like! We have lots of fun together!

They came over last Sunday to my Grandpa's house and we all had turkey and brisket for dinner! Daddy and Grandpa had cut down two trees early Saturday morning and burned them all night to make a big pit of ashes and Uncle Mike & Aunt Laura, Mommy and Daddy and Uncle Carey and Aunt Lyndsey camped out all night in the back yard while the turkey cooked.

Aunt Dawn and I spent the night inside and she stayed up all night to be sure I was alright! She gave me a bottle at 6:00 in the morning! She's a great babysitter!

Know what? I got two teeth a few weeks ago! They hurt at first, but they finally came all the way through and the don't hurt anymore!

My next trick is going to be crawling. Me and my boyfriend Benjamin (he's twoweeks younger than me) get up on our knees now and have almost figured out how to start crawling! When we do, watch out! Until then, we just kind of roll around to get where we want to go. Mommy wants to be there when I start crawling, so she told Miz Sarah (my babysitter) to push me over if I start crawling when she's not there! I don't think she'll do that, though. If I crawl without Mommy there, we'll keep it a secret just between us!

Guess what? Daddy got a promotion and a raise and now he's the boss of two other people! Mommy and I are so proud of him! He works so hard for us and he deserves it!

And know what? My Aunt Christina from Virginia is spending the weekend with us and we're having a great time playing! She doesn't have to go home until Tuesday, so I can't wait to see what we're going to do until then! Granddaddy says he saw her husband, Uncle Paul, at a church cookout in Virginia tonight and he looks like he misses her. Don't worry, Uncle Paul! She'll be home, soon!

Oh, and I'm saying "Da-da" now to get Daddy's attention. He's proud of me, but Mommy wants me to start calling her name, too. Don't worry, Mommy. Pretty soon, I'll be calling you so much, you'll wish I was saying somebody else's name!

Bed time's coming! Have a great weekend and check out my pictures below!

Love,

Abbey Dawn
