What You May Have Missed...

I finally got around to posting some new pictures in our photo albums... I intended on posting to the blog more regularly, as the little things happen, but we've been so caught up in getting ready for the Imminent Arrival, I've fallen behind (as usual).

Here are some highlights from May:

» Amy's parents sold their house in Parkersburg, and officially moved to Cincinnati full-time. We couldn't be more excited!

» We spent a delightful Mother's day at Ikea shopping for Abbey's new room. Frankly, if it weren't for Ikea, I think Abbey would have moved into an empty room. That place is great.

» As part of the move, we became the lucky recipients of the Eichstadt's piano. I'm very excited to finally have a piano again. I've had a few chances to take it for a spin... Yikes! I need to practice! Abbey seems quite taken with the new "toy". I can see many years of piano lessons in our future.

» On Memorial Day, we went out for ice cream. Abbey got her own cone for the first time, and she devoured it like a pro. I wonder where she picked up that skill...

Here are some highlights so far from June:

» With the nice June weather, Abbey wants to spend all weekend in the "wa wa". We've already been to the pool twice and fired up the back-yard sprinkler.

» The 7-year cicadas have hatched... not really a highlight, but it's really gross. You can't walk anywhere without getting attacked by the beady-eyed bugs.

» Church festival season has begun... one of our favorite times of year. There's nothing like spending a Saturday night eating a walking taco and funnel cake. I think it's a Midwestern thing. This year, Abbey particularly enjoyed the inflatable bouncy palace.

» The Ohio University quarter ended last week. With it ends Grandma Eichstadt's distinguished career as a Chemistry Professor. Congratulations!

» We spent Father's Day at home this year, but did enjoy going out to dinner and a movie... thanks to Grandma and Grandpa, our new babysitters!

» Amy's getting quite pregnant and quite uncomfortable! Today is her last day of work before maternity leave begins.
