Abby Lee

Back to the regularly scheduled posting.

As some of you know, Abigail and I were able to take off for a weekend of fun up in Connecticutt. It was great. We drove to Maryland on Thursday night, (early in September). After staying with Matt and Ruth for the evening; Matt, Abby, and I drove all day Friday to hang out with Jeff and Becka for her birthday. ((For those of you who don't know, all of these people are my relatives. Matt(my oldest brother) and his wife, Ruth live in MD, Jeff(my second oldest brother) and his wife, Becka live in CT.)) Jeff had scheduled a Bar-B-Q to celebrate Becka's birthday. Anyway...back to the story of the weekend. Matt, Abby, and I drove up to CT, only getting a little lost on the way in to their town. The conversation in the car went like this. "ummm, I don't know exactly where we are" "I think we are supposed to take this exit, according to the map""this doesn't look familiar." "wait, i think i know that gas station""that golf course looks familiar but I don't remember how to get to their house from here.""Isn't that the big hill before the restuarant...""What???" "keep going.""that looks familiar" We had this conversation for almost 20 minutes. With everything looking familiar. We finally arrived, without having to call for directions. Of course, no one was home so we got to hang out in their backyard. Yippee. Just kidding, it was fine. The temperature was great and they have very comfortable lawn chairs.

The party the next day was great. Grammie Linda and John(aka dad) ( we don't know what Abby is calling him yet), and aunty Mary came down from Vermont for the event. Abby was the star of the party for a little while until the triplets arrived. She really enjoyed hanging out with Mary and getting her picture taken (we will have a second installment of this blog with the picture of Mary and Abby that we took with Mary's camera)
