This is one of our new favorite pictures of Abigail. Tomorrow we'll probably have a picture that we like even more, but for now it's this one. Enjoy.

The weekend after Halloween, my brother, Matthew, my sister, Amy and her two sons, Douglas and Alex, came to visit us for the weekend. It was great to have them here, even if it was for just a couple days. Amy brought several yummy meals for us to cook up after they left. She provided a much-needed helping hand with Abbie as well.

Douglas was a very proud cousin as he was holding Abbie for the first time. He did a wonderful job of keeping his hands clean . I saw him wash them about ten times in the five minutes before he held her! Alex didn't want to touch Abbie. He kept his distance.

I couldn't get my brother to change any diapers, but it was nice to see him. We watched some good football, and having him over gave me an excuse to have a beer or two.

Abbie's 1st sponge bath

Until her little umbilical stump falls off, we have to give her a sponge bath. When we washed her hair and when it dried, it stuck straight up! She was a sight!

Chillin' around the house

Happy Halloween!
