Is she really 10?

"What's this?"
"Mom, what's this?"
Over and over and over again.
At 18 months, Abby's language skills far exceeded her development, and it was a battle trying to keep up with her incessant need to label everything in her environment.
At 10. She is not much different. Smart, a kind friend, hard-working and unknowingly beautiful.
She's just getting bigger.

She still wants to know everything, and I am often caught off guard with her questions; whether they be deeply religious, or regarding the ancient Mayan civilizations. I'm thankful for google, because she has surpassed my level of expertise.

My Abby is unique. She will undoubtedly do good things in her life. I am lucky she is mine.

A long night out together (movie AND dinner) is such a rarity in our home. We appreciated every moment of it.

The Fourth

Simple.
Traditions.
Love.
