At the first of June we headed up to Olympia to visit with Dan's family. I wish we'd taken more pictures, but here's a few.
The mini DVD player made our flight bearable with a nearly two-year old.
Abby absolutely LOVED Grandma Sweetheart's dogs.
So much so that to celebrate her Birthday, Dan made her a cake in the shape of a dog. Much improved from last year's cake that he made I must say.
Last year....
This year...
If he keeps improving that much every year with cake making skills, by the time Abby is 10 I guess we'll have to open a Birthday cake bakery.
Abby loved discovering the difference between boy and girl toys while playing with her cousins. So much so that when we got home I bought her a couple cars and a little airplane.
Lots of fun! Thanks Grandpa Howie, Grandma Sweetheart, Anjuli and boys for making our trip so fun!
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.
