A Long (Almost) 2 Weeks

We are sorry for not blogging in a while. We have been busy (but cannot really remember what all we have done). First of all, we are very sad to say that my great - great aunt Mary left us for Heaven on Wednesday. I am so happy that I got to meet her, share her toll house cookies and give her kisses at least once. We will miss you, but won't bug you with any prayer requests for a while, as my daddy tells me that you will be busy playing pinochle and catching up with the family up in the great parlor in the sky!

On a lighter note, well, let's see...Since our last post, we had the Superbowl, a big 70th birthday party for my Aunt Sr. Ann, news of a new job for Grandma Jane and that my Prairie Grandmas are leaving the prairie to move to New Mexico, a few trips to Little Gym and Gymboree, some play dates with JP, some rough days at work for daddy and mommy, and a few minor illnesses! And for most of these occasions, mommy forgot the camera but she did manage to capture a few images over the last few weeks.

First, I wore RED for the Superbowl. Our team did not win but we were rooting for the Cardinals because mommy LOVES Kurt Warner and because she went to school with Bertrand Berry. I, of course, was in bed for the game but mommy and daddy enjoyed watching it from their couch (no parties - just a few drinks and some good food).

The next set of pictures are from my play date with JP on Tuesday. Mommy and I went over there to play with Aunt Liz, Aunt Kelly and JP. We played, ate dinner together and then took a bath together. I know I am going to pay for this when I am older but I had so much fun! You can just see it in my face.

I even helped wash his hair!

And I tried to kiss him!

He did not seem very interested in that!

But I snuck one in anyway!

Finally, my playroom has a new look... As part of daddy's birthday present (and Valentine's day gift too since it came so late and mommy does not really believe in that holiday anyway), mommy bought daddy a FUN rug for my playroom. I know what you are thinking... sounds like an Abbey present but the real present was that she was going to buy a rug that supported ND but she opted for something that would make both Daddy and Papa happy.

Saturday is Valentine's Day. I get to spend the night we two people I really LOVE -- Papa and Grandma. Mommy and daddy are going to Annapolis with some friends for the night and are really looking forward to it. And a few other pieces of exciting news...

1) Mommy bought her and I plane tickets to St. Louis for a weekend in April! I cannot wait to see Aunt Karrie and all my relatives out there (and maybe even meet some of mommy's other friends).

2) Mommy and I are also planning a trip to "Dakota" sometime this summer to see Reagan and Harrison! Not sure when that will be but I cannot wait! I keep saying that I am going to "walka walka to Dakota." Mommy keeps trying to tell me it is a LONG walk but I don't really care!

Hope you all have a nice weekend! We hope to have more pictures soon!
