It's been a Long Time!

Sorry to everyone who reads the blog, it has been a long time since I have written an entry. It has been a busy few weeks. School started and Abby went back to daycare. Eric shot in his annual matches at Camp Perry (and did very well) . Abby and I went home and visited my parents a couple of times, and we got to visit with my friend Liz and her daughter Grace (who is 14 days older than Abby.) It is fun to visit with Liz and Grace since Liz and I can talk about our daughters and can relate the the struggles and joys the other one is having. Abby adjusted well after the first couple of days of returning to daycare. I think she adjusted better than I did. I cried the first couple of days wayyy more than she did! So, other than that, our life has been pretty much, just the usual beginning of the school year. Sad to leave the baby, happy to have a job to go back to.

Cedar Point!

Even as she got on the ride, she was unsure.

Abby, Eric and I have had a busy week since the last blog entry. Last Sunday, we took Abby to the Lucas County fairgrounds to see all of the animals. She loves animals and really enjoyed seeing them. On Tuesday, I took Abby to the gym with me for the first time. I decided I really needed to get back into the gym, so since Eric is working a lot this summer, I added a babysitting component to my membership so Abby could go with me. SO while I am at the gym, she goes into a kids room and plays with all of the other kids until I am done working out. It is nice for me to be able to do that and she only cried the very first time I dropped her off. Since then, she has been good and they workers there think she is so sweet ( we all know she is :) On Tuesday afternoon, Abby and I went to the zoo. She really loves the zoo and I like to take her at least once a week. On Thursday Abby went to Cedar Point for the first time in her short) life. Eric and I went early in the morning and dropped Abby off with my parents. Later on in the day, my parents brought Abby to meet us so that she could experience Cedar Point (my parents have a pass so they just go whenever they want and it does not cost them anything). So, anyway, Abby rode one kids ride and then we all rode the Paddlewheel excursion together ( the silly boat ride with all the lame jokes). Abby was not so much for the boat ride, the loud noises that go off scared her. Other than that, she liked the food and she liked Snoopy and Linus and Schroeder and she liked watching all the people and the other kids. Hopefully next summer she will get more out of it and enjoy it more. However, I had kind of a rough day at CP, as anyone on facebook already knows. I got pooped on by a bird, I broke my sunglasses in half and I lost my cell phone on one of the hills of the Magnum. Luckily for me, I called CP and they were able to recover my phone in one piece and my parents are going to pick it up for me. I am really happy about that. I will have to be without a cell phone for almost a week though. Oh well, I keep thinking it wasn't that many years ago when no one had a cell phone, so I can live for a week :) SO that has been our life, busy, fun and exciting!
