Abby update - December 9

It's been a good day for everyone today. Abby enjoyed another sleepover with Taylor and Rhonda last night while we were in Wimberley, and when I got back around mid-day they said she'd been talking up a storm. Not every day has milestones, but I can honestly say that I can see each day that she's getting better at communication. Frank and Gordon (and the rest of the team that Gordon's coaching) pulled off a nail-biter victory in Little Dribblers this morning. Frank contributed a lot of good ball handling and defense and a few points as well. The friends working on our house are making great progress, while I'm hoping that they're not feeling too much stress (ala "Extreme Makeover Home Edition"). The dogs enjoyed themselves spending some time at home and then here with Abby (although they nearly got arrested after another resident assured us it was just fine for them to come into the lobby out of the cold and Security had other interpretations of the rules...!). And I think Grandma Johnson had a good time trying to keep up with us all...

We hope it was a good day for you as well--take some time to reflect on the real joys of the Season...

Love,
Abby, Frank, Lee Ann, Gordon, Arby & Amigo
