Fishing

These pictures were taken on our first time visiting the state park which is less than 20 minutes from home. We've been there a few times now that it's one of Abby's favorite places!
She caught a fish on her first day here, a Blue Gill.
She would rather to spend her whole day by the water than the playground that you can see




Here, Abby is showing us how to throw it in the water. She was really worried about getting the hook on me as she kept on asking me to move!

Playing baseball






These pictures were taken a few weeks ago at my sister's in-law's backyard. Uncle Mike helped Abby on how to hold a baseball and then pitched for her and she hit a few. It's been very warm since we got back home from DC, so we've been outside almost everyday. Three of my 6 "kids" are always begging to go outside...my daughter, my dog, and my white cat!
Today, "Winter" the white cat, was outside but wouldn't respond to me when I called her because there were several men outside working with loud tools. She was afraid so I had to walk around the block to search for "Winter" and finally found her! I'm not ready to leave her out all day because she has been inside with me since last October when we found her as a stray, so I just let her out for an hour or so.
Last week, I finally purchased a car! I was going crazy being without transportation for 4 months! If I lived in DC without a car, it wouldn't be a problem because they have plenty of public transportation such as metro, city bus, train, and etc. Not here except for when I borrowed my sister's truck, or when she would come to pick me up for shopping or church. My friend, Carrie also helped out by taking us to the gym for Abby's PE classes and shopping. THANKS a bunch for your help!!
The day after we got our car, we went to Carrie's new house! Abby loved it there, and she was also glad to see her friends, finally! Today, we went to my sister's house for a bonfire and we had lots of fun! Abby asked if 2 girls could come and spend the night with her, and of course, I said sure! It's Friday, so why not?
I better go to bed but wanted to post something really quick to catch up!
