Sisters!!

Here are some cute pictures of Abigael and Adaline together. Abigael loves to hold her sister and tries to help us out whenever she can. She loves to hold the bottle for us or find her pacifier and hold it in Adaline's mouth. We haven't seen any kind of jealousy come through from Abigael so we are hoping that continues!



I love that our girls are going to be so close in age because I hope that will help them be closer friends and sisters as they grow. I'm sure they are going to be stealing each other's clothes and boyfriends before I know it :)

Abigael's 1st Day of Preschool

This fall Abigael is starting a preschool program on MW&Fs!! It's a full day program full of activities for her to do. Monday was her first day and she did great. She didn't cry at all when I dropped her off and seemed excited to be there. Her class has 9 other kids in it, both boys and girls. In addition to all the activities, stories, and other playtime, the school actually introduces potty training to the kids! They take them to the potty every couple of hours and has them wear pull-ups instead of diapers. I can't wait to see what Abigael does with this. Stay tuned for updates :)

Here are some pictures of her before school and after with her craft she made!!











Josh and Michal's visit to SA!!

We were so happy to have my brother Josh, his wife Michal, and their kids, Ethan and Eliana to visit over Abigael's birthday weekend. We haven't had a chance to see them since March so it was really special for them to visit us all the way from Dallas! Ethan and Eliana are getting so big so fast, I wish that we could see them more often.
Abigael and Ethan really took to each other very quickly. They were playing together within minutes of them coming through the door. It was so cute to watch them chase after eachother and even color together! And little Eliana was doing her best to keep up with the big kids as well as she could :)










Abigael's Birthday Party!

As everyone knows, Abigael's birthday was a couple Sunday's ago and we had a great party up in Austin at Great Uncle David's house. It turned out really great and everything went off without a hitch. Abigael actually blew out all of her candles on the cake too! She was really cute all dressed in her Minnie Mouse outfit with matching shoes provided by Nana Dobson. Here are some pictures...for more check out our Flickr site. Thanks so much to Oma Daisy who helped make it a memorable and wonderful day :)

Return to the forgotten blog...

Well hello again.

Sorry for the long break from posts, but other things were a bigger priority for us...aka the new baby Adaline, my school, Shane's busy job, and lets not forget the tornado two year old called Abigael.

But now that I'm not going back to school this semester, I'm hoping to have more time to devote to this blog so you all can see pictures of Adaline and Abigael as they are getting bigger.

So check back now and again to see updates on the Ohara home :)

Love you all.
