I was born May 1, 2007 with a malignant brain tumor. The doctors sent me home to be with God, but then I surprised everyone. I am a living miracle, working hard to beat this nasty disease. Please leave me a note in the guestbook. I love hearing encouragement from you.

Abby was able to taste her first cone of cotton candy this weekend at the Fall Festival. At first, she was turned off by the texture...but as you can see, she caught on quickly.

She received her first set of vaccinations this past week. She is so tough! Abigail didn't even cry, she just yelled "OWWW" in an angry voice..like geez guys watch what you're doing, you're poking me in the leg here."

I have spoken with other moms of "hospital kids", and the consensus is that they are pretty tough kiddoes even after treatment is over.

Andrew better watch out, because this little Sis is tougher than most. Abigail is already showing her increasing independance by hitting and pushing her big brother when he gets out of line. He runs to me throughout the day yelling, "Sissy pushed me, and pushing is against the rules." He usually fails to mention that he stole her toys first.

Ahh...sibling rivalry.

Andrew mentioned today that he would like a "frightening" decoration for Halloween. He further explained that he is not "so terrified of frightening decorations, because they are actually fun." Yes he used those exact words. What four-year-old uses those words?

Have I told you all that he wanted to make some "special confectionaries" too? I asked him to repeat the word a few times until he explained "confectionaries Mom, like candies you know?"

Abby is scooting all around the house on her bottom. She can commando crawl too, but she seems to prefer scooting. She slaps her hand down on the floor, and pulls herself along on her bottom. She is getting around so quickly now.

Yesterday, I left Abigail on the sunroom floor, so that I could go use the bathroom. I kept hearing a funny sound, but I assumed it was just the puppies playing until Abby poked her head around the bathroom door with a simple, "Hi."

She crawled up two stairs and then scooted through the kitchen, the living room, and halfway down the hallway into the bathroom just to say, "Hi." My Abby is some amazing little girl!!

Have a great week!!

Rachel
