First day of school!

This Monday Abby started her first day in Room 8!  Her teacher, Ms Jo is actually our neighbor and the reason we found the daycare we are at.  She already loves her and was ready to move to the toddler room.  It's bigger, has a huge playground with slides and all sorts of toys.  She was so good the first day - I thought for sure she would protest...but instead I got a "bye bye" and she ran off to play.  Abby played and laughed, Mommy cried (in my car where she couldn't see of course!).  She's growing up so fast.

Here is her first day of school pictures showing off her cool new backpack!

Middlebury

This past week we flew to Middlebury to visit the Heign side of our family.  It was my first flight alone with Abby and she did so good for me!  Heather met us in Detroit on the way there, and was able to fly to Atlanta with us on the way back...but the rest of the flights were just me and her. :)

She had a BLAST and Matt was afraid she wouldn't want to come home!  I loved seeing everyone again and wish we could go more than once a year.  We got to see Abby's two 2nd cousins as well.  I just wished we lived a little closer...or maybe there was a easier flight to get there!

Here are some pictures.  I'll be adding more later that aren't just of her, I promise there were others there to!

Dallas Aquarium

At the end of July we drove up to Dallas to celebrate mine and my Mom's birthdays.  We decided to do something a little different and went to the Dallas Aquarium!  We had a big group: Me, Matt, Abby, Heather, Mom, Dad, Grandpa, Dick, Teri, Chris, Casey and Olivia!  The aquarium is so nice and such a fun place to go on a super hot summer day!

Everyone that went needs to send me their photos so I can post them!
