Halloween

Early on Dan suggested that Abby would make the perfect Frankenstein because she had mastered the Frankenstein walk. It turned out to be a pretty brilliant idea. Abby definitely made the costume whenever she stumbled around. It's nearly impossible to get a decent picture of her these days, but here we are: Dr. Frankenstein, the Bride of Frankenstein, and Frankenbaby

Joy said...

Oh. My. Funny. Abby is looking buff too...

Brooke Bowen said...

I love it! The costumes turned out great, except that Abby looks much more cute than scary!

BBB said...

Yeah, the buffness would be the shoulder pads we added for more monster effect. Credit for that idea goes to Becky Burton.

Meet Daniel and Brittany

The challenge that began with "Have a nice life, Daniel Burton" is progressing with favorable results. Surviving and thriving on lively discussions about books, Abby, or the post-grad school world, the Burtons show signs of excellent health and familial success.

Dan and Britt met on a hot July 4th in 2005. Shortly after inviting her to join him for a panoramic view of the Independence Day fireworks, and not long after her denial, Daniel and Britt agreed to break the ice over ice cream. They soon realized that they were both book geeks, decided a permanent union was worth evaluating, and were married just over a year later on another beautiful July day.

After graduating with a law degree from both he and Brittany's alma mater's rival, Daniel is corporate counsel at the Woodbury Corporation, a commercial real estate management and development company in Salt Lake City. Meanwhile, and far more interestingly, Brittany is raising a new generation of Burtons as full-time mother and family creative director. Abby is two and a half, and #2 is on the way, with arrival expected in late June of 2011. The Burtons look forward to many years of exploring canyons, creeks, and mountain tops, swapping novels, notes, and ideas, and enjoying great discussions about people, politics, and their family.

Daniel and Brittany are both graduates of the 2002 class of Brigham Young University. Abby is gunning to graduate from diapers, sooner than later.
