Happiness

Elizabeth is almost six and so far she has lost five teeth! What an early tooth loser! She gets very excited and loves to show everyone she meets. This is my blog. My name is Megan Abbott.

What has been happening lately? We've been keeping busy! I did an Activity Days Activity on Tuesday for some girls in our Church ward. We've gone swimming and then to a Concert in the Park on Thursday. We're enjoying the summer, although it's starting to get even more and more humid! We'll see how the summer progresses!

It's taken Jonah a little while, but when he caught on, he caught on fast! Yay for Jonah being potty trained! This is my blog. My name is Megan Abbott.

Josh and the kids by a boat in the Inner Harbor. Me, Elizabeth and Jonah The flag Saturday we went down to Baltimore, Maryland. It was fun seeing new places and doing new things! After a stop at the Inner Harbor, we went to Fort McHenry and toured the site where the British invaded in 1812. This is my blog. My name is Megan Abbott.

This past week has been kind of different. On Monday a main water pipe broke in the water system. We didn't lose water, but we were advised to boil our water for three days to avoid any contamination. We used our food storage water so that was okay, but it was kind of different. The weather has been nice and warm and we've gone swimming twice. It's nice to have a pool near by to take the kids to! This is my blog. My name is Megan Abbott.

Happy Birthday, Larissa! We hope you have a great day!

I've been tagged! Here we go: Rules: no cleaning, etc. Just post pictures of the following things: 1. My kitchen sink(ok- so I may have cheated on this one): 2.

I tag Larissa and Amy Jo. This is my blog. My name is Megan Abbott.

Happy Father's Day, Josh! We love you!

The final project of the paint job. Now we need to get a dark red rug. What do you think? Elizabeth- with her two front teeth missing! I feel like I haven't blogged very much of what's been going on at all! In the past two weeks, we've had lots of crazy thunderstorms. One took out electricity for an evening, and one that had thunder and lightning in immense amounts. The weather goes in cycles- it's hot, hot and then it rains and it cools down. Last Saturday I was sick with the stomach flu. Jason had it earlier that week and I think I got it from him. Josh took the kids to a ward Elder's Quorum BBQ and they had lots of fun there. Meanwhile, I went grocery shopping and did an Activity Days activity at Church. We've been keeping busy! Hope everything is going well for you all! This is my blog. My name is Megan Abbott.

There has been a chicken pox break out in the ward. Four kids had it and Mary Abbott got them. Even though you get vaccinated, you can still get them. This morning I was getting Asher dressed and found several red dots on his chest and back. Oh no! I thought! I took him to the Dr.- just to be on the safe side. Turns out they were just bug bites. I guess they look a lot alike. Phew, I'm glad he doesn't have them though!! This is my blog. My name is Megan Abbott.

We're having a heat wave! It's supposed to get up to 98 degrees today, with almost 90 percent humidity. Crazy! Hopefully our air conditioner will run okay for us! This is my blog. My name is Megan Abbott.

We spent last Saturday night painting. We did it while the kids slept- the only way to do it! Jason was painting with one roller, Josh was doing the top and I was spot checking the drips! The living room is now an interesting shade of green/yellow- pebble path- to be exact. We're still getting used to it! Ellen and Jason made it out this morning. Good luck, guys! This is my blog. My name is Megan Abbott.

Here's Elizabeth with cousin baby Anna! For the past week we've been enjoying the company of Josh's sister Ellen and her husband Jason and their baby Anna. They are on their way to India for his internship and we've really enjoyed having them here! On Saturday they helped us paint our living room (more pictures to come) and we've enjoyed spending time with them before they go away for a while! Anna is a sweetheart and we've loved spending time with Ellen and Jason! This is my blog. My name is Megan Abbott.

Can I just say that Grandma and Grandpas always send the best presents! This one is of a bubble machine that was sent for the boys birthday. It's a monster bubble machine and the kids loved making the bubbles go up and down, up and down. Yay for Grandparents and sending gifts! This is my blog. My name is Megan Abbott.
