First Day of School

Well, sort of. On Friday, I took Abby to meet our friends at South-Doyle High and to introduce her to the Harris quadruplets. She had a blast. We had a quick meet-and-greet in the main lobby, enjoyed our first Mexican meal since before she was born, and celebrated Margaret Stewart's retirement. She has taught for 35 years!!! We wish her the best of luck, and I will miss seeing her every morning and doing hall duty with her during the day.

Fun in Malfunction Junction:
We pulled in just as the quads were entering the building.

This is the main lobby. We made it about 10 steps into the
school when we were met with the "welcoming committee"
wanting to hold a bunch of babies.

Although we missed Elizabeth, we are always glad to see Lora.
She is a wealth of advice and information for mommy.

Patty Michaels, the wonderful bookkeeper, steals sugar.
She was glad to meet the person for which she had all the
paperwork for when mommy had to miss work.

Abby finally got to meet Auntie Carmen, who jokingly calls
her "Daytona." She gave us our rocker and ottoman for the nursery.
She Rocks!! (Sorry, I couldn't resist.) She was my mentor during my first year teaching.

Stephanie was glad to distract Abby while Mommy held
Reagan. They discussed the new yearbook T-Shirts.
Abby apparently was not impressed, but Mommy likes them.

Coach David Claxton discussed which position Abby would like
to play on the girls' basketball team when she is a 'Kee.
As the assistant coach, he is interested in early recruiting.
Hopefully, she will be more athletic than her mommy and daddy.

Zachary was all about Abby's pacifier. I'm not sure he will be
taking her to the prom if he tries this much more.

Reagan thought that Abby was the coolest doll she had
ever seen. She was a natural with Abby. We will have
to plan play dates for the future.

Kathy finally gets some quality time with Abby. Kathy has
been very excited about Abby's arrival. We hope to spend a lot
of time with her as soon as she gets back from the beach!
(Be careful and have fun, Nana Kathy.)

Steve Loope, who Mommy calls Atticus, is totally smitten
by Abby. He helped with Abby all day!!!

After the fun in the main hallway, it was time for lunch.

Abby was excited to ride again. Apparently, she was not
too sure about the cuisine choice.
She ended up loving Pancho's as much as Mommy and
her friends do. (Pancho's is a favorite of the SDHS English Dept.)

After lunch, it was back to wish Ms. Stewart a happy retirement.

Again, we did not make it too far into the party before
we were welcomed by mommy's friends.

Sarah and Abby discuss Grey's Anatomy, just like
she and Mommy did in the hallway between classes.
Abby also was thanking her for the wonderful
Vera Bradley diaper bag!

Dr. Harper, an administrator at SDHS, was excited to meet
Abby. She was warning Abby to not nap during class, or she
would end up in the office. (This will never happen because
we have a perfect angel.)

Happy Retirement, Margaret!! Abby is showing her a
comfy napping position for the afternoon snoozes we
hope she will enjoy!
