Josie is my doll. I like her a lot. I pretend that she is my little sister. I’m trying to spend my money on another Josie which is $42 so that they can be twins. I’m saving my money to try to get $42. I have saved $8 so far.

My softball season just ended yesterday and I got my trophy. I’ve got two trophies from softball and two trophies from basketball because I’ve played two years of basketball and one year of t-ball and one year of softball. Here is a movie of me playing softball earlier in the year.

I like getting comments a lot. Just look at my map and you’ll see where I got comments from around the world. Here’s my Dad to tell you how to write comments on my blog.

Dad: We have some folks new to blogging reading Abby's blog and they aren’t quite sure how to comment, so Abby thought we should tell them. Good idea.

To post comments on any given post, scroll down to the bottom of the post where it indicates "x comments." Click on that once to read the existing comments, and it will also bring up a box titled "Leave your comment." Type your comment, choose Other and type your name (users with a Google Account can use that instead of "Other", but they most likely already know how to comment), leave "Your Web Page" blank (unless you have a web page you want to link to), then click Publish Your Comment. Your comment then goes into "moderation" - once I approve it, it will show up on the blog.

I went to a store called Pacific Ocean. I saw live crabs, live snails, and live frogs. There were a lot of them. It was a Chinese market. Then I went to lunch at a Chinese restaurant. It was good. It was a big restaurant. We went there because my Mom and Ms. MaKayla might want to take their class there on a field trip. We went to another store but my Mom and Ms. MaKalya aren’t going to bring their class in this store because there’s breakable stuff in there and there is already lots of stuff broken and there is lots of fragile stuff there. We bought some Chinese food – panda cookies and candy and seaweed. I also bought a soup spoon.

I went to the rec center because I wanted to go swimming and I got my own rec center card. Because I’m seven now and they keep track of how many people there are so that’s why I had to get one.

I already told you that my Mom’s working at my school this year. Here is a picture of her.

Scruffy came over yesterday for a couple of hours. Because we are going to be taking care of him probably for five days so he came over so that he could get used to the house and used to us. Here are some pictures.

I have a knitting video to show you guys on my blog. This video has Grandma F. helping me knit. I like knitting. And Grandpa F. taught me how to play cribbage. I’ve beaten my Dad a bunch of times.



I have one butterfly on my house. He was just staying right there. And I got a lot of pictures of him. His wings were so pretty.

I got a new digital camera today. I took some pictures of my friend’s dog named Scruffy. We are going to be taking care of him when his family goes out of town. That’s why he came over – to get used to the yard and to get used to the house.
