We've been staying busy. The snow storm ended up canceling the entire week of school (now to be made up in June). I really enjoyed having the extra time with Abby. The first week back was crazy which I expected it to be, although it was great to see my students.
This past weekend Lisa, whom I've been friends with since elementary school, came up from her Grandparents to visit us for a few days. It was wonderful to see her as I don't get to very often because she works on a cruise ship running the ship's theater productions!
We had a fantastic weekend dinning out at some of our favorite restaurants, going to Abby's first Razorback basketball game, watching the 3D Avatar movie, and of course some good ol' catching up time. It was such a great weekend I hated to see it go by so fast knowing it will be a while before I'll get the chance to see Lisa again. She is such a wonderful, happy person who I love being around.
Lisa brought a bag of goodies for Abby. This ball with a monkey on top was part of the gift. Abby was very interested in it. Thanks for the wonderful gifts Lisa!
Abby is very used to cameras by now. But she was sure to show Lisa what she likes to do with them.
To the mouth it goes!
Oh the Razorback game! Our seats were right behind the students section, aka loud, scary students. As soon as the first shot was made the crowd erupted scaring Abby terribly. We quickly exited and walked around until she calmed down. Grant noticed that one of the upper deck sections was pretty much empty so we relocated there. Abby soon got used to the sounds and actually enjoyed all the action. The ring of lights around the court especially caught her attention.
Being in the upper deck we had a bit more room to spread out, which is very good to have with a 10 month old who doesn't like to sit still.
Lisa and I taking advantage of a time out to take a picture.
The Razorbacks actually pulled out a win, making it an enjoyable game. Much better than the game this past weekend where they lost to Kentucky by 31 points. Not too pretty.
Despite the fear of the loud noises at first, this is how Abby spent the fourth quarter of the game and the walk back to the car.
This is just a picture of Abby I took the other night. Wild hair and all.
Just this week Abby is experimenting standing by her self. She is up to about 15 seconds. She is just getting so big. Looking back at this picture I had to laugh at our matching sweat pants.
