All Lined Up

June 27, 2012.

Here's a look at what we do during the day. I should drag the camera around for a day and really document an entire day at home with just the two of us before Baby Brother arrives. Anyway, she loves to line up whatever stuffed friends she has around on the stairs. I'm pretty sure I did this when I was little, I think there are picture of this (I tried to lay my little brother up there as well... note to self come October/November). I'll tell you what's in the picture starting at [crazy bed-head] Abbi and going clockwise: a white bunny, the Raid bug, the Lorax, a [clean] cloth diaper, a naked baby doll we got out o a free box at a garage sale, another baby doll from a garage sale, and a random frisbee.

Ludington State Park

June 23-26, 2012. We wanted to go camping at Ludington State Park this summer with our friends but it is the one of the hardest campgrounds to get into even though they have hundreds of sites. Jamie was able to snag two sites for us though and right across from the bathrooms even (yes, this pregnant mama was happy for that!) We decided to use my parent's fifth wheel trailer one last time since we'd "reserved" its use before we knew we would buy a popup camper.

Fathers Day

We took her picture with the letters D-A-D-D-Y again for Daddy's frame at work. Here's the first year and the second year. 

This year it was a little bit more difficult since she moves around so much. I can't imagine what it'll be like trying to get two kids to cooperate next June!

Blowing Bubbles

June 9, 2012. Abigail loves bubbles but only if she gets to do it. She ends up just eating it and spilling it so we usually give her a container with water in it and let her go to town "trying" to blow bubbles.

Picking "Strawberlies"

Abbi and I went to Visser Farms one morning to do some strawberry picking. Due to the crazy spring weather it didn't seem like there would be a lot of U-Pick options this summer so we wanted to make sure we snagged some sweet little Michigan strawberries before they were gone!

 She looks like a big helper here... two year olds are not so helpful in this area! She wanted to keep hopping over the row like me but her legs are so short!

 It was hard to keep up with all the berries she was eating! Ha!

Catching Up

This little blog has been pretty quiet around here. Sorry about that. When we came home from Boston, finding out we were expecting I got those pictures up and then the first trimester "blah" hit so certain day-to-day duties and work and grad class responsibilities were my key focus. Then Spring Break came and went and I started feeling better but was busy finishing up and starting a new grad class and focusing on finishing the year (grading and updating curriculum) for work. Well, school is done, I feel great, and I have a week and a half left for my grad class so I'm starting to catch up! That's why there are 30+ posts on here dated all the way back to the beginning of March. Enjoy the catch up everybody, it's pretty "Abbi-heavy"!
