Manly Man & Girlie Girl Playdate

Last night Abby, Steve and I hosted a Manly Man and Girlie Girl play date for Abby's friends and their parents. We all had a great time and Steve and his friend Trevor did a little work on the plumbing. We took a chance to get a picture of Abby and all her friends before Mackenzie and her parents move to Kalamazoo - they are sure a cute bunch of little girlies.

Since today was a beautiful day (although a little chilly at only 67-ish degrees) Abby and I took advantage of the nice afternoon and walked downtown to get ice cream and eat it while watching a big freighter go through the Soo Locks. Abby is finally starting to recognize that the huge thing in front of her is a real boat, so it is a lot more fun. She had a great time pushing her stroller around the park at the Locks as well. I got lots of strange looks from people who just saw me and the empty stroller and couldn't see her walking behind it pushing with me. Oh well... she was happy and that makes me happy.

I've gotten the morning sickness down to just evening sickness, which is nice, but I'd still like to be done with it. It would be really nice to go to sleep without feeling icky. Abby and I are going to take a big nap this afternoon (I hope) after all that walking.
