What have we been up to?

My cousin Joy, her husband Ryan and their daughter Ryley from Colorado were visiting Ryan's family in Atlanta last week and drove over to visit for an evening. It was so nice to see them as they had never met Carter and Abby and the last time that Patrick and I had seen them was in 2004. Ryley had really grown up.

The kids enjoyed looking over the booth at dinner to watch what was happening in the kitchen.
Joy and Ryley. We enjoyed some time outside as the weather was perfect.
When it was time for pictures, the kids decided the dressing up in costumes was the way to go..
Thank you Joy and family for taking the time to come and see us. It was nice to see that our blogs still keep us connected even though we live miles apart.

We have been busy with t-ball.

Abby too, as she takes her baby dolls to the games to watch her big brother.

Action shot.

Abby has had birthday parties to attend. She loved the one at the kid's art studio.

If you have not noticed, Abby is really into painting, coloring and doing "projects".

We also had doctor and dentist visits. Abby being dramatic getting her blood pressure taken.

She had her first dentist appointment and did great.

Abby has also started a dance class at the Little Gym where she does tap, ballet and gymnastics. She loves it and goes around the house doing her "dance moves".

Carter and Abby also did swimming lessons. Carter got to work on more advanced strokes and did a great job. Abby has no fear and had fun working on being in the water.

All in all we have been staying busy. Hopefully, I getting some posts up about St. Patrick's Day and Easter parties at the kids schools.
