Abby has officially given up karate and has joined a local Girl Scout troop as a "Brownie." Her first task is to sell Girl Scout cookies and she has hit the ground running. She wants very much to earn her first patch and she can get it by selling 24 boxes before the deadline. That deadline is looming very close (we got in at the tail end of the cookie drive) but as of this writing, I believe she has almost made it to that 24. (I'm sure we'll help push her over the line with purchases of our own if for some reason she ends up without the number she needs.)
This morning as we were entering church, Abby proudly proclaimed that she was in the Girl Scouts and she was selling cookies. She instantly sold four boxes. Pam sent out an e-mail on Abby's behalf to several people we know and so far the response has been very good, so I think Abby will have that patch earned in a very short amount of time. It is nice to see her get excited about this and we hope she makes some really good friends while in the Scouts.

David is doing well. He is becoming quite a chatterbox these days. He talks so much more and is stringing together lots of short sentences. One funny thing he does is he tries to make the sentences longer by adding a few extra syllables to the end of the last word he used. He is identifying more things by name and we can tell he is listening intently to every word we say because of the comments he makes after we say something.
David had his weekly blood pressure check and that is still under control thanks to the two medicines he is taking. He is still giving us some grief on his sleep habits, but we're working through it.
All things considered, we're doing pretty good these days. So, we're grateful.
