Hiatus

So it has been awhile since my last post...let me see if I can recap the highlights. A few weekends ago we drove to NJ for a VERY quick weekend trip to celebrate with Pam at her bridal shower. We drove out on Friday after work and drove back Sunday morning, we spent more time on the road then time we spent in NJ! The weekend after that, the family came out for DJ's whitecoat ceremony at OU. It is an induction ceremony for the school of osteopathic medicine where the first years students receive their coveted white coats. We spent the weekend in a cabin in Hocking Hills. I made a fire all by myself! and enjoyed smores, the hottub, hiking at old man's cave, swimming, playing games, and hanging out with Abe! Abe's new best friend is Patrick. This is rather ironic since before Abe came along, Patrick never held a child unneccessarily, fed, or changed a diaper, but thankfully Abe has changed all of that! It was too funny because anytime Patrick would make a face or say something to Abe, Abe would crack up laughing!
Speaking of Abe, DJ, Lindz, and Abe came to visit and stay with us this past weekend. It was such a treat to spend so much time with Abe. He is almost 4 months now and is laughing up a storm and his personality is starting to show through!
In other news, last night I was inducted as a new member into the ALMC which stands for the Assistance League of Metro Colmbus. It is an not-for-profit organization that seeks out unmet needs of Columbus and develops ways to meet those needs. I am really excited to be a part of this organization and look forward to donating my time and resources to help those in needs. There are many different programs including, hygiene kits, kids kits, and birthday kits for women and children living in local shelters, tutoring, reading, dental program, PALS (providing for needs at assisted living facility), assault survivor kits, and many more programs. It is a great way to reach out and meet the needs of the community. If any of you are interested in joining Let me know!
Now we are gearing up for another trip to NJ over labor day weekend for Pamela and Jared's wedding! We are flying this time! and as for work we are SUPER slow, so much so that I only have to work 1-2 hours tomorrow, with the rest of the day to myself! Yay! I have been started taking more pictures with my 35mm camera so as soon as I get them developed I will post more. But for now, I will leave with a pic of Abe in his new Pumpkin hat that Aunt Stacey and Uncle Pat got him!
