She'll be crowd surfing by age 7 if she keeps it up. Haha!

Sorry to hear about Wil's back. The degenerative issues are really tough to overcome, so best wishes to him as he attempts to fight off the pain and at least delay another surgery.

Hey, Abby slowed down my rhythm, otherwise I would've been cutting loose. ;-b

No worries, Uma, that's the bassinet that we no longer use. Abby's been sleeping in her big girl crib for a month or so already. I just saw a photo op with the light coming in the window and put her in it. You've definitely got that mommy brain because instead of commenting on how cute she is in the photos you worry about her safety. Love ya anyways, Umpa Lumpa! :-)

Getting brave? Ah, it was no sweat. I even managed to take a business call while holding on to Abigail in the car. Just had to keep putting the phone on mute because of all the talking she was trying to do. ;-) And I was able to put her in the "big girl" car seat in my car with no problems and commute home with a sleeping Abigail. Once home we played for a while before she got tired and fell asleep on the floor. That's when I broke out the Xbox.

Thanks Karen. I'm definitely considering all my options, and that includes more focus on my photography. ;-)

Thanks for the support, Janet. Thankfully, I have some time to work with and am prepared to take on whatever new challenge comes my way. Survival mode has kicked in! :-)

Hey Janet! How's married life? The wedding was so great. I loved that church and the reception was really nice, too. Just wish we didn't have to cut out so early that night. Oh well, that's parenthood! ;-)

Hope you guys had fun on the honeymoon. As for the photos, no worries. I hope they were close to what you were looking for from a "behind the scenes" approach. I definitely tried not to step on the wedding photogs toes while taking some shots. By the way, I put a few photos up on Flickr from the wedding already, so go over and check those out. I've done a little more processing since Jill uploaded those to Snapfish, so I will just burn you a CD and bring it down when we come into town for Memorial weekend in a few weeks. If you need them sooner let me know and I can upload them to a file sharing site for you to download.

Re: Ear Piercing, Easter Bunny and Taxes...Oh my!

Thanks AS. We actually signed up for our free Second Look last night while we were finishing our taxes there. I don't trust TurboTax's results, so we're going to have them look at the last few years on Saturday to see if there was anything missed.

Thanks Anita!

Yep, I love it, too. ;-)

Oh Lord, I don't even want to picture that. Abigail with a goatee? AHHH!!!!!!

I did update the ticker with one of her latest photos. Still not sure why it's showing up on my screen, but not yours.

crashmattb — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 15:18:37 -0000

Hmmm...not sure why the Lillypie isn't working. It looks fine on my screen. And thanks for noticing my line about how I did it during my lunch break. Your daughter is just mad that I wrote a blog on top of her's. :-)

It's a baby blue color...like the Springtime skies. The color is to reflect the season, baby! As for playing around at work...you just let me worry about that type of stuff. Love you and see you at home soon. ;-)

Re: Just a Springtime Afternoon

crashmattb — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 09:38:16 -0000

Yeah, her eyes are a touchy subject because I would love it if her eyes remained blue, even though I don't think they will stay that way. Some days, her eyes look so blue, but just last night they were looking more greyish-green. Jill's eyes are brown, and not that I don't think her eyes are beautiful, but since Abby looks so much like her momma I would like her to share at least a few of my better features. Unfortunately, those long toes and big feet that she shares with me aren't what I had in mind. ;-)

You guys are giving me grief over her eyes...shame. Believe it or not, her eyes are actually blue...not brown. My eyes are blue, too. Alright, so I did do some processing on the photo, but the blue in her eyes came out when I adjusted the exposure. The color was already there, so all I did was just bring it back to visibility. Don't hate on the photographer, peeps! :-)

And I think we'll be bidding farewell to some of the flowers currently around the house. A storm front is heading our way and supposed to dump 2" or more in the next few days, which should wash away the not so sturdy ones. At least we got to snap a few photos when the weather was perfect.

These are awesome! I just about lost it here at work when I saw the one where she's trapped. Sorry, some sadistic part of me was imaging myself walking into the room as you did to and seeing her stuck, and therefore laughing. Ha! I got that from my grandfather who would laugh every single time I hurt myself.

As for naked dancing, my Abby absolutely loves it, too. However she also enjoys peeing when there's no diaper on that cute little bum, therefore it's only done in the shower/bath. :-)

Re: Three Years

After staring at the computer for almost 12 straight hours yesterday due to an extra long day at work, I didn't even stop by the blog. Nice post, baby. The reoccurring theme of 3's is cute, and I'm in complete agreement about the 3rd house and 3rd job statement. You know, we've got a pretty good thing going...as in our marriage, starting a family, etc....and it's really hard to believe all that's happened in just the last 3 years, but I'm so glad that I've had you, Jilly Bean by my side. :-)

Anita, no worries about this week. Family comes first, especially during hard times such as this week. I only wish I could've joined you all down there. Regardless, I know that Jill and I can make up the time this weekend.

Re: On Second Thought, We'll Just Stay Home

crashmattb — Sat, 28 Feb 2009 11:13:47 -0000

Jill actually approved of that photo before I put it up on the blog...I know better nowadays not to just post anything of her even if I think it's okay. :-)

Re: On Second Thought, We'll Just Stay Home

crashmattb — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 23:05:26 -0000

Sneaky, sneaky Anita. You commented on our blog and you're only a few steps away in the guest bedroom. :-) And yes, I'm glad our plans changed, too. I like the idea of next weekend much better....better weather (hopefully cause I want to take some photos of those old barns) and Wayne gets to join us.

Whoa, even I would have a blast at that place. Those slides are so cool. Looks like Wil was having a good time! :-) Glad you 3 were able to get out even for a little while.

And a trip to Thailand...how exciting!!! The Chaster will finally get to visit her mommy's homeland. Can't wait to hear about the details...

...I forgot to mention that even though I'm not officially one of your "girls" I'd like to think I could fit into that supportive group. :-)

Hey Sara! I'm not sure when we'll be up to Nashville again, but I promise I'll bring my camera when we do get to visit. :-)

Re: My Snuggle Bug

crashmattb — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 14:54:41 -0000

No way I could've endured those shot sessions. Watching my baby girl scream and tear up is too much for me. And yes, I'd definitely rather be enjoying snuggle time than be here at the office today, but I'll just have to make up for it when I get home this evening. :-)
