This was the scene Sunday morning shortly after Daniel and Abby started puking within minutes of each other. By Monday night I was lying on the floor next to them. We slept out in the family room all together, sick, for two nights. It would have been like a fun sleepover if we all hadn't been puking. :( I wish I had a picture of the three of us lying there sprawled out on the floor, and even thought about taking it at the time, but thus I was too weak to get up and figure out a way to take it.
We've pretty much recovered, though Abby still has a tender stomach.
Whenever we come home from being out and about, Abby runs into the backyard while I carry the groceries in or whatever I'm toting. Today I found her just sitting on the grass enjoying the warming weather.
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.

the way abby is sprawled out on the floor is pretty funny!!! even though i'm sure it wasn't a fun experience at all. but her face just says it all!
At least until my baby arrives, Abby gets cutest little girl award! She is soooooooo darling! I think if I saw her on a daily basis, it would be hard not to just eat her up!
