Another video, only worse

Jusat a quick note today. I would have shared more pictures of my sister, but all she did today was sleep and eat and poop. Not much to share. There is a picture of me holding her below. Also, there is another video that is really not good, but I am learning the new program and was in kinda a hurry. I will get better material and creativity soon, please bare with me.

I am doing well. I have really enjoyed being home this week, but in all truthfulness, am looking forward to going back to school to be with my friends. I am not saying I am bored, but I am not not saying it either. Daddy took me to a little play place today and it was fun. Yesterday we went to the park and had a good time.

Mommy is getting much better. She is still sore, but seems to get around okay. She plays with me alot and that is cool.

Well, I have to go to bed. I have nothing to do tomorrow and I need to be prepared.

Love,

Gracie

Abigail Comes Home

Like I told you in my previous post, here are some pictures of Abigail (and me) from the last couple days. Abigail is doing really well and loves that she is not in the hospital anymore. Mommy is also much better now that she is home. Abigail only likes to sleep and eat and sometimes sleep while she eats. Last night was a bit rough on mommy and daddy as Abigail decided that the night time is the right time for play time!!!. They are working on rectifying that situation right now. Can you say sleep deprivation. If you can, then you are not two like me, cause I am stumped!!.

Okay, well, other than sleep and eat and poop, there is not much else to say. Hope you enjoy the pics. I will let you know when Abbey has learned to make her own webpage. Until then, you can always find her here.

Goodnight,
The Manchi

This is my first time trying to put a video on. I don;t really like it but it is a quick look at me and my sister. Hope you enjoy.

Abigail is checking out my old bouncer. I don't fit in it anymore, so I thought I would let her have it.

This is me showing her how to push the various buttons to make things work. I explained the situation with the batteries and how they die really fast, but since Abigail or I don't have to buy them, then play away!!

Me and Abigail are the bestest sisters ever

This is me trying to do some visual effects on a picture of Abigail. I don't really like it, but Abbey is cute in it.

Abbey likes it when mommy rubs her head. You can tell because she is smiling!!

These are my friends Heath and Olivia when they came to visit Abbey. Heath was really nice to her.

I will try to dig up a picture of me when I was this age to compare how the two of us look. This on is Abigail.

I think this is me the same number of days old as Abbey is in the above picture. Unfortunately, this pic did not come out as well. Oh well, you get the idea.

This is me holding Abbey for the first time. (I think I got her dad, you can let go now!!)

I should close this with a picture of me...

Sally's House

Okay, now that the hubbub over my sister is calming down, I wanted to get back to the real order of business, ME!!. So while mommy and daddy were at the hospital with Abigail, I had the awesomest time staying at Sally's House. This was by far the coolest part about getting a sister. Sally is so cool and I loved hanging out with her and her kids. Stephen is the oldest and a really cool artist. His sisters Shelby and Sarah are the funnest girls to play with and they taught me a whole bunch of stuff. Like how to play video games and to play the piano. I got to play with the dog a bunch too and that was neat. I know that I will never have a dog as long as my daddy has something to say about it, so I lived in the moment. I got to brush her hair and give her big hugs, and that was so great.

Thank you Sally for taking care of me. I had fun walking Sarah to school with you and watching Madam blueberry 200 times.

I will post a couple pics of Abigail again until my dad teaches her how to write her own webpage. Don't get used to me letting her hog all my airtime though, I am a really nice girl and I love my sister, but a girl has her limits.

Until the next time,
Gracie


Shelby, Me, Stephen and Sarah hanging out waiting for my my mommy and sister are at the hospital.

Abigail Faith - My Little Sister

Okay guys, I am so excited that typing is very hard for me right now. So here are the details and when I am done being excited about my new sister I will tell you all about it. Thanks for checking on us. Daddy says that mommy is doing okay and is looking forward to being able to sit up and eat something. Abigail says hi and that she loves it out here. She is 8 pounds 10 ounces and is 21 inches long. I am so excited that we share the same birthday month. This is going to be sooooooo coooool!!!

Okay, not sure what else to say, gotta go and play with Abigail.

Goodnight all,

The Manchi


Welcome Abigail

Hi everyone!!

Finally, something other than the upsidedown shirt for pants.

Sticking my tounge out looking for something.

Okay, back to sleep

T minus 33 hours

So, I wanted to get the word out as quickly as possible that you need to be looking for updates on my blog in the next couple days. I am very excited and I can hardly wait. Mommy tells me that this baby named Abigail, which is inside her tummy right now is about to come out and see us. Now, I am not going to go into the yucky details right now (cause I really can't explain), but suffice to say that if all goes well, I am going to be a big sister in a couple days. We have been working hard around the house to get ready and mommy and daddy say I have been a good help. I hope so.

Today, they took me to the playground inside the mall (cause it was a bazillion degrees outside). They said since I was such a good girl, that I could play as long as I want. I think it was really a way for my daddy to let loose a little. Regardless, it was a whole bunch of fun as you can see.

I have been doing really well. I moved into my new class and get to play with kids that are more my age. We have a ton of fun and my teacher says that I am a good eater. Not sure what that means, but hey a compliment is a compliment. I am learning a bunch of stuff really fast. I have Twinkle Twinkle Little Star memorized and many of the songs on my Veggie Tales DVDs. My favorite DVD is Madam Blueberry. I can count really high and I have colors down cold. I love to spot airplanes and helicopters and am very good at telling the difference between them. I am learning to say thank you and your welcome, and with some reminding, I am saying Yes Sir and Yes Ma'am. I LOVE to color and draw, and my favorite things to draw are cars. I have a red car that I never leave home without and the movie Cars is way up on the list.

All and all, I am growing up quite nicely. I think I am pretty well behaved but sometimes I get a bit fussy when things don't go my way. That is pretty rare though, if I were to be honest.

Well, I have got to get some sleep tonight. I am going to school for a couple hours tomorrow so I can play with my friends.

I hope you all have a good day, and remember, be sure to check back on my site in a couple days. I will have some cool pictures to show you.

Good night,
Gracie


Now this is what I call a good time!!!

I think I am about to be tickled!!!

Okay, just a little break.

I am looking at three balloons that lost their owner... and for some reason this has consumed me!!

Now this is the life!!


I wanted to show you my fireman hat!!
