Uncle Mike

This past weekend, Matt's brother Mike was in for a visit. Abby loved her Uncle Mike and went around saying "Mike" the whole time and often went looking for him if he wasn't in the same area we were in. Here are a few pictures from the weekend.

Dear Pappy & Granny...

Dear Pappy & Granny,

I am looking forward to seeing you soon. I miss you.

Love,
Abby

Playing mommy

Abby likes to play mommy to her dolls...one doll in particular. This doll even needs to sleep next to her in the crib at night. She had the flu last week several days. One of the days, I caught her taking her dolls temperature when I left the thermometer out.


Abby also loves to take her doll for a stroller ride.

Like Daddy or Mommy?

This evening Matt went to check on Abby (the something's too quiet feeling) and found her typing away on the computer wearing Matt's glasses.

Busy, busy, busy girls....

Life has been keeping extra busy lately. Between tax season and watching Nicole's girls, the days fill up fast. I confess I find myself looking forward to the end of tax season and we aren't even half-way through yet (although we are close to half-way).

Abby and Caileen enjoy "helping" at times, playing mommy to their dolls, and other times are just plain busy. I wish I had their energy...or even half of it.

The girls do enjoy each other (and fight like sibblings at times). Adina enjoys watching Abby and Caileen play and also enjoys it when they go over the talk to her.

Adina likes to drift off to sleep while in the baby carrier (Yes, that is a burp rag hanging out the side of the carrier. She can be very good at spitting up some days).

Tonight, Abby was in a giggly mood playing with Matt. Here is a short clip of it.

Nicole and I are currently "swapping" babysitting each other's girl(s) and working opposite days. Here are a couple pictures from today.

Dad, Beth, & Mike -
Sorry it's taken so long to upload this. Hopefully you will hear the sound this time.




P.S. Abby says "Thanks again, Granny and Pappy!"
