Abby is now playing ‘Cars’ due to the movie and when she pretends to be a car she is the one and only star of the movie “Lightning the Queen.” The actual Cars charact name is Lightning McQueen but Abby’s cultural references are a bit limited 🙂

I Haven’t Got Enough Car Issues Already
This morning Abby and I recorded a brief pre-Cars Pordcast. Abby is very excited and I wanted to capture some of that 🙂 We’ll more than likely record another one after we see the movie tonight.
Abby the Smarty-Pants
Abby was bugging her grandma this morning and I told her to stop bugging her or I’d spank her read end [not intensely, and with a laugh so she knew she just needed to quit bugging grandma].
Abby laughed and said, “I don’t have a rear-end.”
I told her to come here so I could show her where her rear-end was.
“No thanks,” was her reply.
Dang, she’s getting smarter and smarter soon she’ll be showing me how to use the computers 😉
Abby Wants Butterflies from Target
Abby wants butterfly trinkets from Target for decorating her room. Jessica suggested I buy some tonight on my trip there. Abby chimed in, “For me?”
Being normal and a loving father I blurted out, “No, because after you go to bed, I like to dress up like a butterfly.”
Cooking is a Science
Jessica and Abby are upstairs making blueberry muffins. Abby is helping put dry ingredients together and was stirring things. A bit too wildly, though. As Jessica was collecting strewn flour she said to Abby, “Cooking is a science. You have to have all of the right ingredients in it for the right reactions to occur.”
Abby replied, “Oh… are you going to call Spider-man?”
Classic!
I Swear I Was Innocent
Yesterday evening I made the major sacrafice of going to the computer store [MicroCenter] 🙂 I needed to look at the price of computers to compare to other sources as my mother-in-law is going to be buying a machine soon. Abby came along so that she could sit in the car with me and talk about buying a recording studio (I keep telling Jessica that since Abby wants one, I should get her one). As we walked through the computer store I saw an employee messing with a flat panel display. Then I walked near the employee, Abby trailing behind, and discovered that he was alone for a reason: flatulence. Abby said to me seconds later, “Daddy, you’re stinky.” Ha ha ha!
Who Put Your Beard Back On?
Abby asked me last night who put my beard back on. I had shaved it off a couple weeks ago and she didn’t like it, but apparently she had gotten used to it because now she’s irritated that my hairs poke her in the head when she sits on my lap and I rest my chin on her head 🙂
What am I to do? I’ve got a bride who loves it and a child who wants me to look 14 again 😉
Abby’s Dance Recital
Here’s a video of Abby’s Dance recital. Its about 4 Megabytes in size. Sorry, my cell phone wrang as the dance started.
Or if you’re a glutton for punishment here’s the HUGE 105MB version.
Is There a Bed in Texas?
Tonight was a tough night to put Abby to bed. You see in the morning (or before the morning in my normal sleeping schedule) I will leave for Dallas/Fort Worth. Abby is quite sad that I’m leaving and has been crying upstairs for a while. It is tough to endure that crying, but it must be done. She asked me if there is a bed in Texas (upon which she might sleep, I think). Then she asked that, if I had any friends in Texas, she be taken to meet them when she gets bigger.
I love my wife, my girls, and our house in Aurora as well as church and family here. It is tough leaving them. Evie has been particularly smiley this evening which is good. I will have good ‘last memories’ from before the departure 🙂
Philosophical Paradox
This was going to be a long post about stuff that got way too ranty, too negative, and then just outright rude. Therefore it has been replaced with a happy picture of Evie & Abby that is out of focus – because this post was out of focus.
Wow. I feel better.
