Ice cold water!

Adam has been taking Abby with him to practice bowling a lot lately. I joined along this time and enjoyed some dinner at the alley with giant cups of water for all of us. 

Daddy's hand

Could she be any cuter?? Adam reached back and was holding Abby's hand while driving and she was making this face. She for sure knows how to turn on the charm!

Voting

I got this picture from Kathy one day. At least someone was excited about getting to vote this year...

Daddy's little girl

Always ready for a charming smile, this one... I'm talking about Abby ;-)

Picture on Mother's Day

I wanted to start taking a picture with Abby every Mother's Day so I can compare them as the years go by. 

S'mores pizza

Abby was enjoying a messy bite of s'mores pizza for Mother's Day lunch with Kathy, Tony, Tyler, Liz and us. 

Mother's Day gift

Abby brought my Mother's Day gift to me while I was getting ready in the morning. She was so happy to give it to me. (It was a book I had requested and a cookbook that I had drooled over in a store a few weeks earlier that Adam picked up)

Marshmallows

Just enjoying a nice snack of a cup of Marshmallows before a church service. 

Cheese!

Super Girl

You would not believe the imagination on this stinker! Here, she was being a super girl and she had a whole story of what was going on. 

She started telling me that she was fighting with Adam, who was a super villain, and that he was going to die! Yikes!  Adam was loosing it!

Take a picture

So...maybe I take too many pictures while we're at the new house...After visiting the house last week and taking some pictures, Abby found a rock on the gravel driveway that she liked. She held it up to me and asked, "will you take a picture of this rock??" Of course I will...

Making friends

One last picture from Polkie Dots. Evidently Abby was ok with her temporary family while she was there. 

Airplane meal

Tony and Kathy took Abby to Polkie Dots in Fairmont. They're known for their desserts but Abby loves everything about - including airplane meal!

Paying her dues

Poppy put her to work while she was staying at their house. She looks like a natural!

Night time

Here is Abby relaxing before bedtime at Tony and Kathy's house. I guess she looks comfortable!

Fireworks

After the baseball game on certain nights, the Pirates have fireworks. As you can tell, Abby adored them! She also got to sit in Aunt Liz's lap, which she loved. 

Baseball game 2

Abby started talking about the baseball game days before they were going. She kept saying that she wanted to eat a big red hot dog and sit by aunt Liz. 

Wishes granted!

Baseball game

Tony, Kathy, Tyler, and Liz took Abby to a Pittsburgh Pirates baseball game while we were in Vegas. She LOVED it! 

Line 'em up!

Abby decided to line up each stuffed animal we sent with her to Tony and Kathy's house in front of their own personal watering hole (blue coaster). 

They must have been parched!

Ride on

Abby dos a lot of riding around circles at Tony and Kathy's house while we were gone. She was giving her horsey a ride this particular lap. 

Dinner

Tony and Kathy sent pictures of Abby to us while we were in Vegas. Here she is eating dinner out the first night. 

Taco Tuesday!

I let Abby "help" make tacos for our dinner last Tuesday. She did a great job stirring the taco meet in a controlled manner. I'm hoping I can train her right while she's young and she'll insist on helping cook for the family when she's older. Fingers crossed!

Bubble mountain

Abby found a new purpose for her bubble gun. Waste them all on one spot. She loved it!

Worn out

We went to the outlet mall in Washington, PA before our trip to Vegas. Abby did really well, but once we were back in the car, we noticed that her booster seat wasn't the best for sleeping during trips.
