Starting Over

Ok, so most of you are familiar with our current situation. Let me fill the rest in. Matt was laid off in March and without hope of finding something in Phoenix, we ventured back to CA. We both found something fairly quickly...I am cocktailing at Mastro's Ocean Club in Newport Beach; and Matt is the new Executive Chef at 333 Pacific in Oceanside. Sadly, we have finally finished moving our belongings out of our beautiful home and into storage to make room for our new tenants moving in next week. We are staying at my parents in Laguna Niguel for the summer and are trying to decide where to look for a new home of our own. Our families have been extremely gracious and generous, we are so thankful to you all!!! It has been a blessing to watch the baby thrive in the time spent with her extended family. So we are starting our life over again in Southern California. Please keep us in your prayers while we play catch up and look for a new home to love.

On a lighter note, we spent the weekend of the 4th with Auntie "Bess" and Uncle "Ryry". We swam, ate, danced, talked, and laughed. Abby especially loved Dance Dance Revolution and Aerobics. The motorized chair scared her at first, but she ended up asking for more multiple times. She enjoyed lounging, swimming and walking around with her juice. My favorite pic is the one where she is picking a grape off of their vine.

Abby is growing like a weed and learning so many new things each day. Watching her is so much greater than anything we could have ever dreamed of. She wears us out, but provides much entertainment. Some of her favorites are Elmo and Caillou, any kind of berry, rice and beans, avocados, watering the plants and dogs, the park, any activity outside, and listening to music and dancing. Unfortunately she isn't fond of country, everytime I put it on she grimmaces, shakes her head, and says "no"! Oh well.
