Daddy had several meetings to attend in Dallas this week, so he took Abby with him so she could visit, Grandma, Grandpa and Saul. They took her to the park everyday so she could pick wildflowers, which she loves to do. Daddy said that her Spanish skills are getting much better too. Practice makes perfect!
Abby really enjoys getting her creative juices going. So we thought it would be fun to pick up some paints, put a drop cloth down and let her go to town painting. We all had a great time painting; mommy and daddy felt like kids again too. Mommy just has to remember next time to put a paint smock on Abs so she doesn't get paint all over her dress!
This weekend we along with Kurt, Sarah & Eric Lind hosted a couple's shower for our niece Jessica and her fiancé, Austin. Kurt & Sarah opened their home to 60 plus guests! The bride and groom-to-be were both beaming with joy as they celebrated with their family and friends.
Jennifer's dear step-sister Jennifer (we call her JP to not confuse us!) celebrated her 50th birthday this weekend. JP's daughter, Aubrey, planned a special surprise party for her at the Movie Lounge on Saturday night. The theme was "Happy Bee-Day" since JP likes bees so much and Aubrey had all kinds of great souvenirs from water bottles to napkins. She really did a great job! At the end of the night Abby even got to take home some of the balloons! Happy Birthday JP, we are so glad to know such an awesome gal!
This weekend we went down to the lake house. It was a nice break after a week of non-stop work and moving around. We were looking forward to a nice relaxing weekend, relaxing in the sense that we didn't have a million boxes around us! Abigail was so excited to see Reece & Avery that she didn't even want to go to school on Friday. The girls had a big time and we can't believe how big Avery is getting. What a great weekend for everyone!
The movers showed up early Monday and we started moving everything into the new place. They moved at such a fast pace that we couldn't keep up with opening the boxes. The movers didn't finish up until 7:00 Monday night so we had a long night of unpacking. We still have a long way to go, but we're taking it one box at a time.
