A weekend of "Firsts"

So Matt, in need of a vacation, decided last minute that we would spend his long weekend at the beach. So, we left Friday night and drove to the beach. We spent 2 days with all my sibling at the beach and enjoying relaxation and good food. With the parents in Europe, it was the first time that just the kids were togerther with new spouces and baby Abby! Very fun. We didn't get a picture...ugh. But, we did get a picture of Abby's first time in the Ocean, and the first time she held her bottle by herself!!!

Abby and I are babysitting a few times a week now for a darling 2 year old boy named Bauer. This week we have been watching his 5 year old sister too, but she goes to school next week. Abby loves the interaction with them and they are loving her as well.

Matt is busy as usual, but improvements are happening! Nothing is perfect, but things are getting better!

Up and coming:
- 1st Family Camping Trip in Tahoe
- Trip to Denver to hopefully catch the birth of baby Raine

  6. Ok. Love the pictures. We need to start including some good captions. For example, the one with her feet in the water and her arms in the air:
    "The beach is that way." (flexing like she is on Muscle Beach)

    It also looks like she is not too far from getting her own blog with keyboard skills like that.

    Miss you guys a ton. Think I should join the Briggs Blogging community now that I have a "baby" of my own? (Don't freak out, Mom. I mean my pup, Banner.)
