Pool Time!

Here is a snippet of our summer fun poolside! Abigail is quite the swimmer and is learning to go underwater and hold her breath! She is taking swimming lessons for babies starting July 11th. I'll let you know how that goes.



As for now - we are day two into taking away her pacifier, her bottle and nighttime feedings and her lullabye music in an attempts to retrain her sleep pattern to fall asleep - and stay asleep - on her own. I have yet to have a decent night's sleep since I was 7 months pregnant while I'm here at home. Who says working out of town once in awhile isn't a good thing???

Mother's Day 2009

I received my first homemade cards and gifts this year for Mother's Day! I cried! It was really sweet. The day care center made the two picture poems and handprint shown below. They wrapped them in a nice box, filled it with candy and sent it home with Abigail on Friday when Gram picked her up. It was so very sweet! I put it in her baby book for safe keeping.


Sal got me a wonderful body pillow, as the one I got last year was accidentally left behind in a hotel during my business travels. He also surprised me with a dozen roses and a beautiful card and poem. But my best gift he gave to me was that he agreed to go to church with me and Abigail as a family. After church we all took a nap and headed to Gram's for dinner. Jen and her kids were there, as were Stacy, John & Bryce. Aunt Nancy and the girls came for awhile as well. My second Mother's Day was a wonderful day filled with family and love! Thank you, Sal!
