The Hartley Family: February 2009

A small example of what it's like around here

A normal part of the Hartley household! And no, she NEVER stops. haha

Abby samples a lemon

I think it's a rite of passage to have a video of your kid making faces while eating a lemon. haha

A nice day in January

We had some rare nice weather during January and took full advantage of it. The girls rode their bikes and played outside. It was so nice to get some fresh air!

Guitar Hero

NeNe and Papa Jot got Guitar Hero for Christmas and we went over to play with them. The girls are in the living room with "Bobby".

NeNe, Emma and I went to see the Tulsa Ballet Theater's production of The Nutcracker this past year. It was Emma's first time to see the ballet and she liked it. We almost lost her during the second half but were able to keep her mildly interested. NeNe got her her own special nutcracker doll and she really loved it.

Nothing sexier than a daddy wearing his baby!

Family

After the Christmas play we took a picture with some of my family that came to see the girls. From left to right are:
Me, Granny, Aunt Frances, and Josh holding Abby

Two Little Lambs in the Christmas Play

Emma was a lamb in our church's Christmas play again this year. This was Abby's first year to get to do it and she did really well. I helped corral all the kids in the nursery before their big debut and took these pictures of our girls.

Abby's Hospital Adventure

For those of you who don't know, Abby got to spend the night in the hospital over the Thanksgiving holiday. She had gotten into a friends' medication and we were unsure if she had actually taken any or not. So, to be on the safe side, we had to have her admitted for observation. She had to have an IV and have her foot stuck to check her blood sugar every hour all night long. It was a long night to say the least. She was (as you can tell in the pictures) in good spirits despite her circumstances.
