Abby is getting ready for her visit downstate, complete with a visit to the Toledo Zoo, by riding her toy zebra. She especially likes riding it at night with the lights off so that the flashing lights on the handle show up better. She rode last night until just before she passed out. She was so tired we ended up putting her to sleep in her clothes.
We have been keeping busy and trying to stay warm and dry this weekend. It hasn't been above 60 degrees yet this weekend - not exactly what you'd expect for the last weekend in August. So we had to break out Abby's fall clothing collection a bit early. She has been feeling like a princess all weekend in her new gear. We are almost rested up from all of the activities Steve and I have been working on this weekend. First, we helped friends Jon, Michelle, and Mackenzie get their uhaul loaded for their big move back to Kalamazoo. We will sure miss them! After doing that late into Friday night (Abby was enjoying a huge play date with all her normal buddies), we had to be up really early for Angel Food on Saturday morning. We got that all under control and then napped for most of Saturday afternoon. Finally we are about back on our regular schedule.Today Steve is teaching Abby the important skill of installing a vanity. I can't wait to have our bathroom back together for the first time since we moved in. What a relief now that I am making many, many trips to the bathroom.
Abby has started stringing multiple words together and will parrot just about anything she hears - this means we are being extra careful what she watches on t.v. and hears on the radio. Not that we weren't careful before, but even more so now. Sometimes though you just can't prevent the occasional naughty word from popping out of her mouth. Like yesterday when she was trying to say "fox". Abby's version of "fox" is basically a four letter word right now, so we've put away the book with the foxes in it so that she doesn't keep saying that new word, because try as hard as we can, we can't help but giggle when she says it. Bad parenting... I know.
Oh... and in less than 48 hours we will know the answer to the big mystery. One crib or two.... that is the question :)

Can't wait to hear if I am making one new baby afghan or two.. Love you GG
Our nephew has the same 4 letter word for the word truck. He screamed it in excitement in the doctor's waiting room last week when there was a huge truck to play with!!! Good luck hiding the foxes!
