As I write this afternoon, I'm happy to say that it is warm, sunny and beautiful out today. It has been extremely hot here in Baltimore this past week. The temperatures have been in the 100's, with a heat index of 110-120. Not fun. At all. Thankfully today is much better and I'm looking forward to spending some time at the park later. (I'm sure Abby is too)
Since it's been so hot, we've been spending a lot of time indoors. We've been to the mall, aquarium, and out to lunch. At home we've played with new toys, painted, and had fun with Play-Doh. Anything to keep a little girl busy.
Abby was invited to a birthday party Saturday evening. We've become friends with a family that lives just a few blocks away from us. They have a (now) two year old girl that Abby has been meeting for playdates since we've been here. It's been so fun getting to know a local family and Abby really enjoys playing with their little girl. The cake was delicious, balloons were a hit, and a good time was had by all.
Speaking of parties, I've actually been busy planning Abby's second birthday party. We decided on the place and now I'm picking out party decorations (keeping it simple), and I'm looking on Etsy for a birthday shirt for the birthday girl. I cannot believe she will be two in just a few short weeks. More on that later ....
In other news, Jim and I babysat our neighbors twin boys yesterday for about an hour. In that short amount of time, I realized how much I miss that age ... eight months old. They were sitting, laying, playing, cooing, smiling .... and we enjoyed every minute. I think the hubs was happy to have two little boys to play with. Abby was napping when the boys first arrived but woke up in time to play for a bit. She was quite the little helper, bringing them toys and sharing her blanket. Such a little sweetie :)
The second half of baseball season brings long road trips, one of which the hubs left for yesterday. It's a three city road trip that will last for ten days. The only bonus of such a long trip is that I'm going to meet him in Kansas City for three days, while Abby spends some time with Gramma and Grandad. I'm so looking forward to some "couple" time and seeing a city that Jim likes so much. It's always been one of his favorite cities to travel to ... good restaurants, shopping, and best of all, he made me a surprise appointment at the salon. Hair, nails, and toes ... and a whole lot of brownie points for him! :)

1.) I love that you call your Hubby "the Hubs" since that's my fave nickname for my own and 2.) Looks like you should have more babies cause you make super cute ones ;) Can't wait to catch up!
