Snow day, bubble machine and pics

Here's Ethan behind a bubble from his bubble machine.


Ashe is trying to pop the bubble and Jonah doesn't want him to! The hat Jonah is wearing used to be mine when I was little.

Jonah!
Hilary, I practiced your zooming in and natural lighting- what do you think?


Snow in front!


Snow in back!

Today is a snow day! We went to a Math Night at the school last night and it started snowing right before we left. Snow had been predicted. I didn't even know - I was informed of this by at least three teachers at school yesterday when I went and volunteered. "It's supposed to snow tonight and Saturday!" one teacher gleefully exclaimed. Another teacher: "it's really supposed to snow tonight!" and the third one- when I was picking up the kids from school- "Any news on the weather?" Nope. I don't really have a ton invested in what the weather is like. Yes, my kids stay home but that's about it.

The snowflakes came down slowly starting at 6 pm and were still going at 10 pm. We planned on having no school. This morning I checked the website- yep. No school. So, we made one eye monsters (eggs in a hole in toast), went shopping at Sams Club for the makings of fruit smoothies (even though it's snowing, I need a fruit fix!) and picked up the movie Ice Age 3 at Redbox. We also played with Ethan's bubble machine after blowing bubbles in our shakes and I practiced my photography skills with our new camera. Here's to a snowy day and having kids at home to play with!

This is my blog. My name is Megan Abbott.

Nice photos Megan! I'm cold just looking at all that ice and snow. You seem pretty much used to it now. Brrrr!

Holy Week

-

This week has been one of wonder and amazement for me. I usually celebrate the Holy week of Easter by remembering what took place each day of the week. This week has been extra special for me. I'm not sure why- maybe it's because we are studying Easter for Come Follow Me for Church or because I have two missionaries out serving who are sacrificing their time and talents to serving the Lord full time and I know what a sacrifice it is for them. They have taken Jesus's name upon their chest and represent Him full time. Or maybe it's because I have another son who is getting ready to serve just like they are- his mission papers just submitted this Tuesday evening. My life seems embedded and imbued with the thought of Jesus Christ and His Love and Sacrifice for me and for us all. It might be too, that my social media accounts- mostly Instagram- has been filled with post after post of Jesus Christ. How on Sunday He entered Jerusalem for the last time under waving palm fronds,...

Jonah is home!!!

On a Saturday afternoon around noon, Jonah flew home from his two year mission to New York City. We were cutting it short and I felt like we were going to miss him off the plane. We waited about 5 min until Josh said “I think I see him!” I was shaky and hadn’t slept for most of the night and we had rushed to make it there in time. I wanted to run away really. Then, I saw a smiling, blonde kid running up to us and gave him a hug! It was so good and unreal to see him! Josh gave him a big hug and Jonah started crying. Everyone gave him a hug and it was so good to see him! He looked skinny and well. We took pictures and then headed home.  I love the picture of us hanging out on the couch, snacking and looking at his mission pictures. Later they went to Walmart for supplies and our car ignition shaft broke. Glad it didn’t happen at the airport and just look at that sunset that we might have missed if our van had started just fine. We are so glad to have Elder Abbott home! Now to get the...

Abbott Family Cruise, part 2

Catalina and Ensañada were amazing! Such perfect weather. At Catalina we went on a small hike up a small mountain to botanical garden. We didn’t go in- everything was so botanical around us already. We stopped for fish and chips on afterwards and then da along the beach with our toes in the sand. The beach is my happy place!  In Ensañada, I got roped into buying a brightly colored bag right away along with a few other trinkets. We wanted to get some pesos so we asked around and then stepped into a circle K and got some. I practiced my Spanish and the lady there asked me if I was Mexicana. So sweet! It made my day.  We had fish tacos, which was my goal, although we ended paying more for them than we wanted. Josh got some street churros and those were definitely on point! We walked around with our family and popped into a few shops to do some more souvenir shopping and then headed back to the ship. It was a neat day trip all around. We ended the day with a three course sit down ...
