As usual I have been very bad at keeping this blog up to date and now is has been a month since my last post! Since then we have been keeping pretty busy. We took a trip to the Sacramento Zoo. I have to say that it was really a very depressing place! I hadn't been since I was little and I was really excited to take abby to see the elephants and there we NO elephants! Very disapointing. We plan to take a trip to aunt Nickie's in SD and go to a real zoo.
Abby is almost a year old and since she started daycare the Sorenson Family has had every ailment possible. We had the flu multiple times, pink eye, she had a fever for a week, I had a really bad sore throat last week and now we all have this horrible cough. It really has been pretty funny. THANK GOODNESS for my mom and dad who were able to take time off of work to help out with watching abby, otherwise I might be unemployed :) However, the doctors say that it is actually good that she is getting sick now. Her immune system is up to snuff now. She is officially walking and in a few weeks she will be moving over to the next room in day care with the big kids (the 1 year olds). I am very excited for this because they get to go play outside 2 times a day and Abby lives to play outside.
Aunt Sissy was in town for a couple of weeks and we had a lot of fun with her and Jake. Poor Jake is tramatized by Abby, but he is very patient with her.
The Baptism and Fathers day BBQ were very nice. It was fun to see the O'keefe family as well as MOST of Abby's aunt's and uncles and cousins. We missed the Stewart's and Uncle Ed!
We are going up to Tahoe with some friends in a few weeks to hang out and take abby to the beach and have a little belated b-day party for her. We have so many things coming up this summer it will be nice to go up there and relax. There will be 11 of us going and it's a great group!
David is still loving his job. We have been looking at houses to buy again but we can't decide if we want to live in Sac or Roseville. We really like Roseville, but it is just SO far from most of our friends and familyBUT I really like the school that Abby is at in Roseville.
The Colgan family is still hard at work on developing a marketing strategy for MS. My dad and Chris met with a PR guy and he really liked the idea and gave us a lot of good feedback and ideas.
Other than that, I am working on the Blake's Purpose Comittee. This year's tournament will be on 10.17.08 at Catta Verdera again. Check out http://www.blakespurpose.org/ and let me know if you want to play in the golf tourney and/or come to the dinner and live and silent auctions. It was so much fun last year! We are still looking for auction items big and small so if you have any ideas let me know. Last year they raised 350K and were able to hire a full time researcher as well as some equipment.

It's the simple things...Abby really enjoys pushing this box all over the house!
