Now, this first picture is one I took of Abby when we went to Universal Studios-Florida in the summer of 2002. We walked in a gift shop to get out of the heat and they had all sorts of hats. Of course, Abby just had to try nearly every single one of them on! I love the one she's wearing here...it's a milk carton! The way she's cutting her eyes around cracks me up! From a very early age, Abby has always been one to do anything to make someone laugh. She hasn't changed one bit!

Here's a note Abby wrote to me when she was 7 years old. You know how much I cherish things that my girls have made or written to me. This came directly from Abby's heart...so sweet and innocent. Don't you just love how she spelled some of the words? The message to me is very clear. She loves me... and nothing else matters!.jpg)
"Children will not remember you for the material things you provided, but for the feeling that you cherished them."~Richard L. Evans quotes
P.S. Last night, Brittany ran in the 3200m against 4 girls and 12 boys. She finished in first place for the girls with a personal record of 11:53...that's 20 secs. off her previous time of 12:13! She even beat some of the boys! Guess who finished only 7 secs. in front of her? ANDREW! For those of you who might not know...he's her former boyfriend of just over a year! Needless to say, he wasn't happy about it! So...it was a very good night! :)

Hi April
The picture and note from Abby are really cute. Jessica loves trying on hats too. Can you imagine the pair of them one day trying on hats together?

I'm so glad that you treasure every moment of your daughter's lives and that you hold on to those memories, the notes, the photos, the little things. Those things matter more than some people realize!
