Grandma and Aunt Amy come to visit

My mom and sister came to visit and meet Abby for the first time. We had a great time and stayed busy shopping, eating and playing. It was so much fun to get to see them and special to get to have them spend time with Carter and Abby. Abby is 6 weeks old now and is starting to be awake more and notice voices. It is amazing how quickly she has grown up. Carter was his entertaining self with his constant chatter. There is always something going on in his mind. Amazing. Here are several pictures of their visit. I hope that you enjoy...Grandma meeting Abby for the first time. Aunt Amy reading Carter a book before bedtime.

Carter climbing on the jungle gym.Abby in her stoller at the park. She slept most of the time while we were there.

Carter wanted to watch a movie with Grandma. Grandma brought Snow Buddies for them to watch. They went up into the playroom and Carter would only let him and Grandma be there to watch it together. It was a special moment for both Carter and Grandma.


Here is Abby in the Christening Dress that was her Great-Great Grandma's on my mom's side. We tried it on to see how it fit and see how the ribbon needed to be fixed. We are planning on having her baptism in the next few months.

Looks like you guys had such a great time!!! Congrats on winning the shoes! I'm sure Abby will look adorable in them! No, I don't know Kelly in real life, only in blog-world. My friend Amy posted a prayer request on her blog last summer when we were in the hospital, and that is how we connected with her. Hope all is well--keep the pictures of Carter and Abby coming! =)
