Abbeeeeee

Here are some photo highlights of Abby's weekend. We had a very fun time visiting with Grandma Von and Grandpa Roy and Great Grandma Joyce. Abby showed them around our neck of the woods including Tahquamenon Falls and Lake Superior. Luckily it was a nice hot day to be outdoors enjoying God's handiwork!

Abby found the mini-rocking chairs at the visitor's center in the Tahquamenon Falls State Park. She loves little furniture!
Abby's grandparents brought her up a vanity play set. She was nuts about it. She is going to be a true girlie girl. She wanted to sit on her vanity stool and stare at herself in the mirror, talk on the play phone, and put on her necklaces for about an hour straight. It was a lot of fun watching her play.

Last night Abby perfected saying her own name. She'd been working on it for a while, but now it really sounds like Abby (emphasis on the "ee"). We left our digital video camera at Grandma and Grandpa Hodges house so they could make a dvd of Courtnie and Nate's wedding, so we couldn't get video footage of the hilarity that goes on around here. Here new favorite words are Abby and Daddy - she just walks around randomly saying them.

It was ridiculously hot here yesterday. We moved to the Upper Peninsula and were very excited to be leaving the major heat. Neither of us particularly enjoys seeing 90 degree weather, but that is what we've had the last few days. It is supposed to reach 87 today, so Abby and I made play date plans for the beach. We spent a lot of time yesterday in her wading pool. And we had a hard night going to sleep since it was so hot and humid! Hope you can all stay cool today - we will sure be trying any way possible.
