Happy Memorial Day

We spent the weekend with family. Great Grams has recently sold her home and has decided to down size and more closer, finding a great place here in Columbus! Deciding what to do with the things she and Grandpa had collected has been the hardest part. One item that spent 62 years with Grandpa and Grams is Barney the horse. Barney has lived through lots of love and provided even more fun. Barney is an original Wonder Horse...He should probably be restored and put in a showcase, however, that would make Barney sad! Barney has lived through the Finerty children, their children and their children's children. We are happy to take care of Barney for a while. Annabelle is THRILLED! Here are a few shots and a video of AB hanging with her new best friend Barney!

27 more days!!

Boy oh boy is AB TWO! lol- She is a wonderfully independent, willful little girl!! We are having so much fun listening to ALL she has to say. She has been having a re-occuring dream about "mean trees." I think it all came from her slight fear of the apples trees on the Wizard of OZ...

Leave it to AB to be scared of the trees, not the witch or flying monkeys! The first morning, after this nightmare, she told Nick and I about the dream over and over. "The trees were small. Then the grow up fast! Then they say BOO AB!!" She even made her voice low and scary when she mimicked the tree's voice. lol-So we had to make a sign for her bedroom door that says "NO trees allowed!" It has really helped! I am trying not to count down the days of school....but who am I kidding! 27 more days! I'm very excited for summer and time with AB. We have the house back on the market. It would be nice to move of the summer too! We'll see. It would be just one more bit of good news for our family... I've had a pretty good few weeks-1st -Teacher of the Year at Tussing and 2nd-I FINISHED MY MASTERS! I feel so FREE! lol. Above are some more recent pictures of AB at the pond in our neighborhood. Happy May Day!
