Handy Manny birthday party

Abby was supposed to go to a Handy Manny birthday party with Aunt Shelly a couple weekends ago, but then she got the hands, foot, and mouth sickness so we kept her at home to be on the safe side. Shelly brought over her goody bag yesterday and Abby loved it.

On a different note...Check out the size of Abby's hands and fingers...everyone thinks they are quite big for her age.  Since John and I have little hands and short fingers, we're thinking Abby may have gotten her hands from Great Grandma Lulu, since John tells me she was a concert pianist. I'm hoping she also inherited the talent part too. Abby's great grandpa on my side (my mom's father) was also very musical and my mom tells me he used to sing in a chorus group called The Chanters for the Shriners. He also knew how to play all kinds of instruments such as the piano, clarinet, saxophone, and trumpet. My mom played the clarinet, my dad played the accordian, Johnny plays the guitar and Abby's cousins Johnathan and Thomas played the drums and the piano.  It seems I am the only one that doesn't know how to play a musical instrument.  Let's hope Abby gets some of her musical genes from her great grandparents.
