wedding prep

Busch Gardens last weekend! Someone was in aww of all the Sesame Street characters on stage!

We are in full blown wedding mode! Abigail has been practicing her flower girl role, walking up and down our hallway dropping little balls of toilet paper from her Easter basket. We don't have her "real" basket yet so we made a make shift basket from her Easter basket which does the trick! She's doing great with it, my main concern is stage fright the day of the wedding. I'm sure she'll do fine and walk down the isle like an old pro! Today she, mama and I went shopping for shoes and bows for the wedding. We came home with neither one but a car load of other things!!

I'm watching American Idol and I must say I'm disappointed with the contestants this year. Usually there are one or two that I adore but this year that's not the case. I love the new judges so for that I am grateful. There's always next year!

a treat

My dad picked Abigail up after her afternoon nap and even though it was a strange feeling to not hear the pitter patter of her little feet or the soft tone of her voice I relished the few hours Robert and I had to ourselves. She had dinner with my parents and Landon and had her first "jump" on the trampoline since last summer.

Robert went for a run, I washed the car and then we heated up a delicious dinner his dad prepared for us. We sat and really enjoyed our meal, we talked and laughed and fell in love all over again. Life is always evolving, changing and I love the moments that everything seems so clear, for that, I am blessed beyond words.

A happy Mama!

This week has been wonderful, filled with great friends and happy memories. Monday we spent the day with Catelyn and Callie and as always had tons of fun. Abigail loves Callie and I love seeing them together, two precious girls!! Today we met Mer, Nick and Jack for lunch and some great fun at the park. They played so well together and then rode bikes, Nick is great on his, riding like a champ. I told Robert earlier that we need to work with Miss Abigail. She did really well for the amount of time she was on it but we definitely need to take her bike and go to Mimi and Popz's house and practice on their driveway!! :) We ended at our day at Island Beauty getting all pretty by Ms. Linda. Abigail did great getting her hair trimmed and even asked to get up in the chair. That was a first and just another sure sign my baby is growing up! XOXO

OV St. Patrick's Day Parade!

Abigail loved the Ocean View St. Patrick's Day parade on Saturday. Robert has been talking about this parade for years so finally we went. I think it was quite the different scene from what he was use to but we both loved watching Abigail and all the fun she was having. She collected a lot of beads and even more candy. Some of which I had to say no to and in turn caused alittle fuss. ; )
