Abby gets her ears pierced and Father's Day

Our flight back Friday went fine and when we got home, Abby had a few more presents to open. We saved some of the larger ones that couldn't fit in the suitcase until last.

This is a Gabriella doll (from High School Musical).

This is Abby opening her Hannah Montana makeup. She also got Disney Wheel of Fortune and Disney Guess Who? Both games, plus Connect Four, have been a hit. We've had fun playing the games.

It was also nice to come back on a Friday so we had the rest of the weekend to rest. We went to the lake where Kevin's parents live on Saturday night and hung out for a bit. Saturday afternoon, my mom came over to give Abby her birthday gifts and to take Abby to get her ears pierced!

And after so much time watching Abby open presents, Adam finally got a present of his own, a new book.

The big moment!

After no tears, she proudly shows off her pink daisy earrings. Her face got really red for a second and it looked like she was going to cry but once we gave her a mirror and showed her what they looked like, she was very happy.

Sunday was Father's Day. Seth's gift was to go pick out a new fire pit for the backyard.

And then back in the groove. This week was slightly busier than I would have liked for a first week back. Work was busy and then I had to move offices on Friday so I had to pack on top of everything else. Tuesday night Abby had a Girl Scouts field trip, Thursday I went to Becky Stumpf's house to meet her new baby, Hazel, and to see her newly remodeled house. Both were gorgeous. I'm so happy for them. And I warned her I might steal her kitchen because it was fantastic.

Last night, Abby had a softball game. She has one more left on July 10 and then the season is (happily) over. Today Abby has a birthday party for her friend, Sophie, from day care. Tonight Seth and I are going on a date to see The Hangover. It's supposed to be hilarious so I'm looking forward to that. Sunday, Dawn and I have plans to go to the pool or have lunch if it rains. And Sunday night, I am taking Abby to see "Annie" at the Muny with Abby K and Kaylei. Should be a fun but busy weekend. At least next week is a short week - I'm off July 3 for the holiday weekend.
