 babyhood, he colored you with a sharpie marker, powdered your face (requiring a trip to the pediatrician), sprayed you with Febreeze (requiring a call to poison control), and gave you your first (unauthorized) haircut.
You've always worn pink, despite my proclamation that if I ever had a daughter she would never wear pink. You love Disney Princesses, despite my lack of understanding of Princessy stuff. When you were three years old I encouraged you to be Hermione Grainger from Harry Potter (Owen was a dashing Harry Potter that year). But you stuck out your tongue and me and said "No!" "NOT Hair-my-mo-me...Abby Princess!" And so you were your favorite princess that year, "Seeping Blooty" as you would say at that age. Since then, you've also been Cinderella and Rapunzel.
Dresses and skirts and dress-up outfits are your preference for daily wear. You love make-up and perfume and painting your nails. But you also love gymnastics and climbing and swimming. So you wear shorts under all your frilly wear and continue on your way.
You are adventurous, but cautious at the same time. When you were a baby, you opted to crawl everywhere for months, cautiously eyeballing us as we encouraged you to walk. You didn't walk until you were one year old, in fact it was on your first birthday!, carefully watching your big brother for guidance. But once you decided to do it, you just did it. You pulled yourself up and took your first steps, and kept on going from there.
You love to swim and you are a natural in the water. Your "big sister" Jenny taught you to swim in California, and you've loved it ever since. Some of my fondest times with you have been at the ocean, watching you run through the sand and into the water, as you fight off the waves and finally cave in to riding one back to the shore. You braved the Pacific in the winter, never minding the chilly water. Your lips would be bluish and your teeth would be ever-so-slightly chattery but you always wanted more time in the water.
But the thing that always comes to mind whenever I think of my Abby is the skipping. You love to skip, and you skip more often than you walk or run. From the moment you get up until the moment you crawl into bed, you skip everywhere. Down to the park, across the street to your friend's house, even as you enter into school, right after you get out of the car when I drop you off in the morning. You skip happily through life, enjoying the moments.
Sassy and saucy and pig-headed. And I had only envisioned pig-tailed six years ago! You make up your mind and you stick with it. You can defiantly tell me 'no' without the slightest quiver of lip or glimpse of emotion in your eye. Frustrating now, but when you are an adult it will be an attribute that will get you what you want out of life - assertiveness is hard to come by, and you have a healthy dose of it already.
You're sweet and kind and the greatest sister - both little AND big. You've never been upset that when Kellen came along you were no longer the littlest. You think it's pretty cool being the'middlest'. You're pretty good at sharing, even when you don't really want to, and you never like for anyone to feel left out. I'm always proud of you and the way you treat others.
Happy Birthday, our sweet little Abby. We love you so very much.
Keep skipping and wearing pink dresses and riding those waves. Do what makes you happy and you will always love life and get exactly what you want out of it.When comparing AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! vs Battle Slimes, the Slant community recommends Battle Slimes for most people.

This time the subject is BB-39, the USS Arizona and what a magnificent tribute to the ship this book has turned out to be. This time the 3D illustrations are by Waldemar Góralski, the translation is by Kazmierz Zygadlo, 3D visualizations on title and spread page by Piotr Forkasiewicz and the text is by Leszek A. Wieliczko and Piotr Wisniewski. The ISBN number is 978-83-62878-53-6.
Once again Kagero have very kindly sent me a review copy of their latest book.
I chose the colours portrayed in Kagero’s book, (as did the builder of the new model at the Arizona memorial at Pearl Harbour).
The book is in the usual format, 90 pages, a short history and technical summary of BB-39 and a comprehensive collection of illustrations. Also included is the obligatory black and white line drawing with rigging plan, ( I was extremely happy to see that it is a perfect match to a rigging plan of the Arizona that Tracy White sent to me).
Different this time is the inclusion of a cardboard pair of 3D glasses. The last 19 pages of the book are 3D drawings that require the red/green shades. Using the glasses gives an eerie sense of depth to the drawings. The fact that I have glasses of my own doesn’t make using the cardboard 3D glasses easier though and this in not my preferred way of reading a book. As usual the drawings are a veritable mine of information for the model builder, making it easy to add further details. I would have loved to have had this book at hand when I was building the BB-39.
Several drawings brought back memories of the build: the bird bath, (the platform on the main mast with the four Browning MG’s on it), was another subject for discussion, centring on which colour the deck would have been painted. “We”, (the online panel of experts discussing these details), decided that a light deck would dazzle the gunners in tropical climes so “We” decided to go for red-brown to depict linoleum. I am quite happy to see that Kagero went for light-gray instead.
Another Kagero gem for anyone building a model of the USS Arizona. The drawings are lusciously executed and contain all the details you could possibly wish for.
The book is a “must have” item for modellers or warship buffs alike.
Highs: A veritable mine of information and inspiration for the BB-39 modeller. The 3d drawings add a new dimension to the Kagero warship series. I have spent a couple of happy hours reading the book and comparing the drawings to how I built “my” BB-39.
Verdict: Another winner. Once again worth a closer look. I hope Kagero have taken note of the next offering by Trumpeter, a 1/200 USS Hornet CV-8.
Excelent!!! Thanks Julian.
I think i like to hold at the theory that it was only partially painted in the blue...most of the hull,the lower main gun turrets and the raised platforms of the upper main gun turrets as well as most but not all of the lower superstructure and casement gun area. Me I'm gonna go with the dark grey scheme say Oct 1941 time frame Book looks marvelous though adn useful for detailing some of the smller guns and the like.
For what it's worth, there's very little chance she was painted in Navy Blue at all - it was just too new of a color. There are three main theories at this point. 1) Still in stock Measure 1 - 5-D Dark Gray up to the top of the stacks and 5-L Light Gray above that. 2) Some sort of Modified Measure 1 with the 5-D replaced with 5-S Sea Blue. 3) A hybrid "system" that blended the older Measure 2 graded style with some newer colors. This called for 5-D on the hull and the superstructure painted in 5-O or 5-S *as needed* (meaning that one turret or one deck level might be repainted and the rest of the superstructure could have still been Dark Gray). Steve's approach is the safest for accuracy adherents as we know she was in Measure 1 up until late October at least.define(['angular', 'lodash','moment'], function(angular, _, moment) {
