Abby was baptized

A few weeks ago Abby asked about being baptized. We decided to study with her to make sure that she understood what she was doing. After 12 lessons of diligently studying, she decided today was the day. Obviously, Jim and I are very proud of her. Abby is pictured above with our preacher, Jim Reingrover.

Spring Break

Abby had this week off for Spring Break. Since we couldn't manage to come home for the week, we tried to get out a do a few things. The weather was beautiful this week. We went to the Denver Aquarium yesterday with one a Abby's friends from school. The aquarium was very comparable to Newport's except for one thing. They had 3 tigers. They were depicting a rainforest.

Hope everyone has a Happy Easter!

Rock Climber

Abby loves to climb the rock walls at Dick's Sporting Goods. Since this climb, Abby went to a birthday party at a place called Jungle Quest. This place had all kinds of rock walls, zip lines, etc... Abby, my little princess (not really anymore), is getting pretty good at climbing. She wants to head to the real mountains to climb. My answer is NO, let's wait til you get a little older. I think she could get into this Colorado living.

Just checking in

I know that it has been a while since my last post. There really is not anything new here in Colorado. It has been snowy and cold. We just got about 6 inches of snow last week. Now that I am staying home, I got to shovel all 6 inches. Abby came down with a stomach bug last night, so she is home today. So far, it has been a very mild bug. I am hoping that I don't come down with it, since my surgery is only 6 days away.



Jim is working hard at his job. Thank goodness he hasn't been traveling lately. He hasn't went out of town since about November. I think within the next couple of weeks the traveling will begin.



I am not sure if everyone knows, but I had quit my job at Charles Schwab. My manager had mentioned that when Abby was sick that I should think about hiring a nurse to come stay with her, so I could go to work. That was NOT going to happen. Other things had went on, so I thought it was best to resign. So far, I am enjoying the stay-at-home life again. I go into Abby's school every Friday for the Book Club.



I hope everyone is healthy this winter time and staying warm. We miss everyone, and hopefully soon we will be able to plan a trip home.

Christmas 2008

Christmas 2008 was a very snowy one in Denver this year. The weather was calling for a little dusting of snow, but we probably got around 8 inches of snow at our house. Above, Abby is playing Guitar Hero on the Wii at the Howell's house on Christmas Day. Neither of us (Abby nor I ) were very good at it. (Notice the new OSU sweatshirt that Abby is supporting thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Morgan.)

Abby received a big package from Mama and Papa Morgan in the mail. Lego's were one of the big hits of the package. Abby, my little princess, has turned into a little tomboy. She obsesses over Star Wars and loves building scenes from the movie with her Lego set.

Here Abby is on Christmas morning. She got her Wii thanks to her Grandma Neely standing in line at Wal-Mart for many days to get it for her. Along with the Wii, she got quite a few Star War items, and some games for her Nintendo.

Hopefully, everyone had a great holiday!

Dad's Birthday

Happy Birthday Dad! We celebrated Jim's birthday yesterday. We went to his favorite restaurant (everyone from NKY knows where that is), Olive Garden, and after church we had his birthday cake. I won't tell everyone how old he is, but I'll give you a hint, it's the first year you can round up to 40!!!

Thanksgiving

We went to the Howell's for Thanksgiving this year for our first holiday away from home. We all had a good time along with lots of good food.

Abby got to try the Wii on Thanksgiving. Now that is all she wants for Santa to bring. Good luck Santa!!
