Life in Lala-land: Rain Rain Go Away!

This past weekend we went down to the beach for Abby's first "official" trip as a family. She did great in the car... she slept abotu 45 minutes then was awake the whole rest of the way and just enjoying having momma in the backseat with her. We were smart to put her in her jam jams so that when she did go to sleep (not long after we got there) it would be easy. We had great company with Ev's brother Matt & his sweet wife Meredith.

We woke up EARLY (thanks Abby :-)) on Saturday morning to the rain. I was sure it was going to stop, but NOPE! So we finally got the boys ready...yes they couldn't decide on where to go...shocking i know :-) So we went over to Shuckers Oyster Bar @ the Wharf. They had a ton of tv's, oysters and cold beer. Abby was great there as well...she is really a good baby anyways. Then before we ran to the store we decided that even in the drizzle, we couldn't come all the way and not take the baby to the beach. So we pulled into the public beach and wrapped her in a towel and headed on down. I got to dip her toes and she wasn't too sure about it. Then a wave came and got us both wet....I screamed Whooooo, and she wasn't to pleased about getting all wet. So our beach excursion was over :-)

That night we had a great time watching Auburn kick some MS State booty! We had a great shrimp boil and Abby had a fun time kicking around with her auntie & unc. We also had a encounter with a roach later that night...that scared Everett so much.

I had gone upstairs to check on Abby cause I could hear her rustling around and when I went upstairs (lights off...only nightlight) I saw a roach. I turned the lights on...and it was gone. I knew I wasn't crazy. Anyways, I picked up the pack n play bag and it jumped out. I let out a big scream and of course Ev & Matt came running up the stairs. The baby monitor was on and all they knew it that I was checking on Abby. Needless to say, no more screaming for me...Ev went back downstairs got another beer and sat down. He said his heart was beating so fast...the only person I didn't scare was the Abster. She was a happy little baby during the "roach incident'.

On Sunday we headed back home and Abster was so tuckered out she slept the whole way home! So did momma! :-)

Anyways, here are some pictures of Abby on the beach...please don't mind the "whale arms". Everett is no longer allowed to take the pictures :-) haah!
