Day at the Beach

Florida was GREAT. I loved seeing some of my extended family.  It was nice to go barefoot and without a coat. Really though, I wanted to show you some pictures taken when we went to the beach.

Me and Dad ready to go. Notice how clean I am.

Chasing the seagulls. Never could catch them, even though I tried.

Playing with the sand. It feels so good between my toes, and in my ears.

How did I get so dirty! Mom says it is time for a bath. The beach was SO fun.

The baby at the Gormongs

We spent five days with the Gormongs: Phil, Kara and Adalynn

I met baby Adalynn for the first time last week. Mom and dad talk about her and how cute she is, but I had not yet met her. When we first got there mom held Adalynn and snuggled her. I made it clear that it was NOT ok for MY MOM to snuggle another baby.

As the week went on I began to warm up to her. She made cute sounds and didn't cry very loud. Mom tried to feed Adalynn a bottle and I was ok if I could sit on mom's lap at the same time. The night before we left I decided I liked, maybe even loved, baby Adalynn. I gave her several hugs and even a kiss.

Phil and Kara were pretty cool too. I am glad I got to meet them since mom talks about them a lot. I know that we will be friends for a long time.

I hope that you are making good friends who you will be close to forever. Please pray for me as I am making new friends as we travel and how as I make new friends I am also having to say goodbye to friends.

Staying with Abbie in Pittsburgh

We had a blast visiting with Abbie in Pittsburgh. She made us dinner and let us relax at her house the first night. I had fun exploring. She has two sets of stairs and a piano to play with.

On Saturday she showed us around town. We rode up the incline. It was something we rode up a really step hill. Abbie said it was the way the steel workers used to get up the hill. It was a great view. We drove around and saw different areas of the city. Abbie took us to the Carnegie Library. I had fun reading books and exploring the children's section. After the Library we went to dinner then home for bed. I was a little tired.

Sunday we went to North Way Christian Community where Abbie goes to church. In the evening mom and dad left me to go see a play. I cried a little when they left because I love them, but then Abbie played with me and let me watch 101 Dalmations. Overall, it was a great trip. Check back in a week. I will tell you all about the Gormongs :)
