Since Mommy has started taking more and more pictures of families and friends, she's been slack in keeping up with all of the Annabelle images! They are still there, however they are not finding their way out into the world. On this blog, FB or even Email, forget about prints! Tonight I started to open a project and get to work, but decided my time would better be spent writing you a little note telling you how much I love your spunk! You've had a little cold/cough for about four days now. The first few days all you were interested in doing was cuddling on the couch or in bed reading, drawing or watching your favorite shows. Your spunk was a little "a funk"... It's really made me realize how much I love my little spunky butt! As I'm sure you've heard silly grandpa call me many times, "punky butt" I like to think of you as my little "spunky butt" because there is just no denying that AB SPUNK!!!! To describe your mojo in words is difficult to say the least. You have a natural curiosity. A lot like Curious George. You see something and you want to go and check it out. You ask A LOT of questions about the things you see and hear. Like tonight when you over heard mommy and daddy talking. I made a comment about something being stupid... Whoops! You waited until we were finished and said, "Mommy why did you say stupid. That is not a nice choice word!" You were right and I had a momentarily laps in judgement. I told you I should have used the word "foolish" instead. You agreed. Beyond that, your spunk can be described as PASSION and DETERMINATION. I can already see it in your eyes and in your frustrated growl when your working really hard to do something 'all by yourself.' Regretfully I know where the growl came from... But what I love about it is your unwillingness to ever give-up! It may be described as crazy, busy, or high strung but, spunky butt, trust me when I say it's pure determination! Just remember that when you feel that growl coming... step back, take a deep breath and come back to your 'project' in a few minutes. :-) Growling feels productive at times but it really doesn't help you achieve the end result. Knowing when to take a break is maybe something you can teach your mommy! You'll understand when your a mommy, but it's one of the many things I try to better about myself for your sake. So, to prove that there are still pictures being taken of YOU here are a few pictures of you this summer and fall... There will be more to come. These are just a few. As you look at them see if you can spy that spunk I've been writing about!
At Young's Dairy with Nana and Mimzey! What more could a girl ask for!?
I think you would still be running around and around the path at Young's had I not said it was time to leave!
A beautiful sunflower field on our way into Yellow Springs. Remind me to show you the pictures of me and Auntie Katie in Italy... There were fields and fields of sunflowers there. You will see for yourself someday...
If this doesn't say SPUNK I don't know what does!
Picking out the perfect pumpkin at Lynd's Farm!
There's that spunk again!
and again...
and again...
and again...
We had the best little family day. You picked apples with mommy and daddy, went on a barrel ride, through a corn maze and found out what to do when you need to go potty and there are no potties to be found. -lol- Yes, you did! For the very first time!
You told your daddy, with lots of spunk in your voice, "Daddy do you know, when you have to go potty outside and there are no potties around you GET TO GO POTTY IN THE GRASS!" We laughed and laughed about that one!
I love you, Spunky Butt!
