Abbienese 101

Something you may not know about our family is that we are bilingual!  That's right, in our house, we speak 2 languages... English, and Abbienese!

It has been such a fun thing to listen as Abbie learns to speak!  Some of the words that she tries so hard to say just don't come out quite right!  Of course, that makes this learning experience all the more fun!!  I thought I would write a blog about the language that is Abbienese, to share with our friends & family!

So, here goes nothing... try not to laugh, too much!
