A Big Day!!!

It is hard to believe that merely two weeks ago we were waiting for Abby to arrive. Now, we are welcoming new people every day to meet her. Saturday, May 5th, was a BIG day for us. Abby met her great grandmother, Granny, and a great aunt and uncle. It was also Granny's birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Even though she slept through the first half of their visit and fussed through the second half, we hope Granny, Kathy, and Randall will not hold it against us. We hope to see them again soon.

It all started by sleeping in to catch up on sleep
lost the previous night.

Granny and Abby Lou discuss the benefits of having
the middle name Louise. They agree that only
great minds are named Louise.

Aunt Kathy and Abby made fast friends.
Abby looks forward to seeing Kathy again and
planning beach trips for the future!

Uncle Randall was a gentleman and let the ladies
hold Abby first. Unfortunately, by the time he got her, she was
hungry and began to cry.
Sorry, Randall. We'll do better next time.

After the family's short visit (we wished they could have stayed longer!), Daddy decided to go to the mall for Free Comic Book Day. Abby was all a gas! She decided to change outfits and head to the mall to check out the new stroller. (Actually, the wardrobe change was a necessity rather than a convenience.) Although the event did not turn out well for Daddy (who did not find any comics he wanted), Mommy and Abby were excited to get out of the house for a while.

Abby is wondering if Mommy is actually going
to remember to brush her hair before they go.

Abigail was stylin' in her new tennis shoes.

Hmm... haven't we seen this before? The outing proved
to be tiring for Mommy and Abby by the end of the day.
Time for a three hour nap before the next meal!
