Scotland - More of our trip

Royal Aberdeen Golf Club, Est. 1790

David tees off on the first at Royal Aberdeen.
Royal Aberdeen, Scotland.
The green awaits....
Another one of the most beautiful walks we took this year. Royal Aberdeen, Scotland. The 18th at Royal Aberdeen as we walk home.

The Clubhouse at Carnoustie Golf Links. Est. 1850

It rained the whole day. This is the only picture I got because David played and I sat in the Clubhouse and drank tea, ate cookies and read my book....and shopped!

But he survived Carnoustie!

Kingsbarns Golf Links

It started raining right before we went off on the first tee. The wind was blowing about 25 mph and it was a "wee bit chilly", but I braved the elements with David and his foursome and walked the course at Kingsbarns Golf Links (without rain pants). David above is bundled up like a toddler in a rainsuit! My umbrella and I blew all over the golf course, but you will see some of the most beautiful pictures following...I am glad I made the walk, and the golf was pretty good to.

The 2nd hole.

Princess Abigail Turns 4 Years Old

Princess Abigail turned 4 years old on July 8th. We celebrated her birthday early on Sunday so I could be there to celebrate before I left to go home to Virginia. She was a true Princess...... Abigail with her Ariel cake that I made her. These cakes were a

lot easier to make when Josh and Jana were kids!

This little Princess blew all the candles out with one try! All wishes come true today!

Daddy cuts the cake!I just love this picute of Abigail talking the Aunt Marin as she is opening her presents. This really shows her wonderful, bright personality. This is the Abigail we all love so very much! Happy Birthday sweet girl!

Theo Oliver gave Abigail this puppy...he yepps and coos and has his own little carrying bag.

A castle of puppies from PaPa and Grandma Natalie...this is sure the give may hours of fun. She was playing with it when I left for the airport on Monday!
Of course Grandma Kathleen and Grandpa David gave Abigail a....Computer....her very first computer that plugs into her TV and has many learning games on it to get her ready for Kindergarten. Give her a few years and we will have her hooked up to email and a blog site of her own!


Oh so cute pants from PaPa and Grandma Natalie!
What Birthday Party for a 4 year old Princess would be complete without Optimus Prime? Well definately not one for Abigail...he is her favorite!

Mommy at Optimus Prime.
Daddy as Optimus Prime.

Uncle Chase as Optimus Prime...Aunt Marcy being very, very scared!

It was a wonderful party...hosted by Dennis and Natalie...Sabrina's Dad and Step-mom. Really a family B-B-Q that turned into a nice Birthday celebration for Abigail. It was lots of fun hanging out and Abigail enjoyed playing with her cousins and Aunts and Uncles and of coures opening her presents and eating her cake. I was so happy I was there for the celebration!! Yes...Theo Oliver was there, I just forgot to take any pictures of him during all the excitment....he was wonderful as usual...he slept...he was awake...he ate...and he pooped!
