A visit

My cousin had a few days off and decided to take a road trip to Nebraska. On her way back to her mom and dad's house she stopped by to visit us and meet Abigail. Here are some pictures that she took...

"Hi!"

Abigail and Mommy ~ I just love her face here!!

Kisses!!

Happy Spring!

Abigail recieved this adorable diaper cover and I had big plans for her to wear it for Easter pictures, on Easter. As we all know it wasn't very warm on Easter - it was cold, really - so we took the pictures on Friday..

Pictures...

My nephew came to visit on Saturday and we had pictures taken of him and Abigail. A preview of all of the amazing pictures can be found here. This lady is amazing, oh by-the-way. She did a great job getting the kids to smile - according to Megan these are the first professional photos that Mason has smiled in (YEA!) and I can't wait to see the rest!

A photo shoot with daddy...

As I've said before we take lots and lots of pictures of Abigail, constantly! The last couple nights Jordan has had a "mini-photo shoot" with Abby. Here are some pictures from them!!

Wonderful friends, exciting evening!

Tonight some great friends stopped by... Dan is deployed to Afghanistan and home on his two week leave. We were lucky enough to have him and his wonderful wife Jennifer stop by. Their families live in Wichita and they were on their way back to St. Louis (where they live now), so decided to stop by and see us. We feel so blessed to have them spend some of their precious time with us! We took them to our favorite sushi/hibachi restaurant. Abigail had a ball and really took to Dan. He has to go back to Afghanistan for seven more months, (we're really going to miss him!!) so he and Jennifer will be in our thoughts and prayers.

While we were at dinner Abigail had a couple of firsts... she was sitting on Dan's lap talking to Jordan and said "dadada"!! Of course she doesn't know that "dada" is Jordan, but it was so exciting! Tonight is the first night she's started really using consonants in her babble and it's pretty fun. Abby's really started to grab for things and reach out... Also during dinner (and on Dan's lap) she was kicking and waving her arms and got her hands in the soy sauce. Before we could grab her hands she had one of them in her mouth! I wish I could have captured the look on her face on film because it was sooo funny! She also tasted green tea ice cream tonight ~ intentionally. That face wasn't so odd and she took the spoon away from Jordan and kept tasting it. Here are some pictures from the evening...

Right after the soy sauce... notice the dirty napkin and Dan's laugh!

Happy Birthday to me! And, Easter to everyone!!

This weekend we went to Nebraska and had a very relaxing time! We had lots of visitors all weekend long... some very good friends of the family stopped by, as well as my grandparents. Saturday was my birthday, so my parents babysat while Jordan and I went to dinner with some of our friends. We had a great time and Abigail enjoyed spending a little quality time with Grandpa and Grandma. Here are some pictures from Saturday...

Today my mom made Easter dinner and a lot of our family was there. It was really great to see everyone and Abigail got TONS of attention (imagine that!). I had big plans to take some really adorable Easter pictures, but it was too cold to take them outside, so hopefully one night this week the weather will cooperate and we'll get to take them a couple days late!

Some pictures from Easter (there's only two)...
