This past weekend was my family reunion (on my mom’s mom’s side).  The weather was beautiful and there were way more people there than I would have ever thought.  All in all, it was a good weekend.  Abbi did well traveling in the truck for the 2.5 hour trip (we had to take the truck [...]

Abbi thinks the flies buzzing around in our house are absolutely a blast.  She tries to find them after they fly off, saying “Where did it go?” and “There it is!”  I guess if I’m going to have flies in my house, then at least it’s a good source of entertainment for the kid. Today, [...]

I think we have decided that we are not going to sell our condo and move for another few years (then again, I reserve the right to change my mind next Spring).  Out condo really does have enough room for our family right now and I actually enjoy toting Abbi to the local parks.  When  [...]

Last night they stopped over so Abbi could meet her new best friend.  She was on her best behavior and spoke softly (this kid hardly says a word that is not shouted) and [...]

Unfortunately the husband is swamped at work this week which means he’ll be working late most nights.  Big bummer.  He did, however, take a few minutes to have a video chat with Abbi while she ate her pudding after dinner.  Here are some video clips from their chat. Dinner with Daddy (1) from Stacey Lynn [...]

The Birthday: Well, another birthday has come and gone. All in all it was pretty good and pretty uneventful. We had the Folletts over for pizza and they treated me to a wonderful growler of New Holland Raspberry Cider. I also got a very funny card from the husband that I wish I could put [...]

And it’s my birthday. Yup, the big 2-8 this year. We really don’t have any plans because, after all, it’s Tuesday. Thankfully tomorrow is holiday so we’ll be vegging tomorrow. I’m sure Abbi and I will spend the morning at the park and then I’m baking a cake, of which I’m sure I’ll devour most [...]
