O.K., this whole thing is a learning process...you have to write the post, then import the picture, sorry...scroll down for the picture!

Here's the three amigos...o.k., this was 2 years ago, but I wanted to share with you our big news, no I am not adopting my nephew, but that's what it sounded like when I say "big news", huh? The big news is that I will be loading these three precious angels and my other precious angel in a van and driving 1300 miles to Montana to see grandma and papa! Amazing, I know. Mom and dad have recently gone through one of the worst months in their lives, and we figure grandchildren therapy is always the best medicine. We will start out on Tuesday, August 5th. We will drive for two days. So, if there's never again another post from me, I lost my sanity along the way...just kidding, it's going to be awesome. The boys have millions of rubber bands. I found a huge bag of them for a dollar. That should keep them busy for all of what, one mile. Actually, I figure one rubber band ball each, and they should be busy for awhile. So, the weekend will be a flurry of excitement, and guess what, when I get to Montana, I will have recent pictures of my kids to share with you. So, I'm off to conquer the laundry beast, but love to you all...

Here's my youngest, Josiah! He turned 4 in May...he's adorable but very busy. Now I see why I was 21 and 23 when I had Zach and Jess.

Leland George Barrows...

O.K., I would like to dedicate my first day in blogland to my wonderful dad...he's the greatest in the world and is really the best candidate for this dedication. I cannot even begin to tell you how much fun he was to be around while growing up. One of my friends in middle school asked me if I could have my dad teach her dad how to be funny! I said, "Yes, for a small fee." Just kidding. The real reason I would like to dedicate my first day in blogland to dad is because he created the name for this blog, yes, Abernathyelizabethanne is a nickname given to me by Leland George Barrows, my adorable teddy-bear-like father! So, it's late, and my first post will be short, but rest assured all my blog friends, I have many words to share with you.

I am thrilled beyond words to get back in touch with all the friends I've accumulated around the planet (literally). We've lived in some really crazy places, and have made the best of friends everywhere we've been. I have to have a better way to keep in touch with everyone, and this seems to be it, the wonderful land of blogging!
