Abby and I

I just want to say that I love my job! I love getting to play with Abby everyday! She is so sweet and fun. We have our moments of course and we all have are bad days for sure but for the most part it's just fun. She and I love to play! One of our favorite things to do is play the cycling game on the Wii. We work together to ride the bike and I love the happy dance Abby does when she "wins".  Abby also loves to vacuum. At least once a week I let her use the vacuum and we clean the house together :) She is such a great helper around the apartment with the vacuuming and helping to put the dirty laundry in the washing machine. I let her push the buttons but I just love that she sits on the machine and talks to me while I do it.

Recently, I was cleaning out some of the bins in our guest room looking for a sweater and I found my little red riding hood cloak. Like always Abby was right there with me and she asked if she could wear the cloak. How could I say no? Isn't she so cute? I wish I'd had a little basket for her to carry around the house. The cloak dragged behind her but she enjoyed it.

Abby is also a wonderful help in the kitchen. She loves to watch me in the kitchen. We make eggs for breakfast...a lot. She loves to get the dishes for me to use and turn on the light in the kitchen. I decided we should do something new for breakfast this week since Mike was going to be home with us. So we decided to make blueberry cupcakes (they're muffins but abby said they looked like cupcakes so thus they have a new name).

A few nights ago Mike and I got to watch Abby and Ethan. It was so cute watching Mike with the kids. They wanted to play with Mike all night! Its moments like these that make me excited for us to have kids someday.

This past week was finals week for Mike so he was home studying. Abby wanted to be by Mike's side all the time and he was so patient with her and she was so good. Around lunch time Mike was studying in the bedroom and I had Abby's lunch all set up in the living room. The first thing she asked was "where is mike?" Then she asked me if she could eat her lunch with Mike. I told her she would have to ask Mike and he happily said that she could come hang out with him. So while Mike studied, Abby ate her lunch :)

I think they're watching Top Gear (or as Abby calls it, the car race show)

Anyway, I think its safe to say that Mike is the favorite but its ok :) As I said, I LOVE my job! She is so sweet and its fun (most of the time). I also love that because of this job Mike and I have made some wonderful friends, the Hobb family who we love.
