Sunday night we headed down to L.A. to be with Matt's parents. Monday we visited Disneyland and then Tuesday they got to come with us. Abby was on cloud 9--Disneyland and Grandma and Grandpa. She was pretty darn happy. Warning: there will be a lot of pictures! I know you probably do not want to see them all, but I turn the blog into a book and Abby will want to see all of these, so oh well! I love pictures--especially if they are of Abby.
First day of Disneyland:
CA Adventure has a great play area and Abby loves the slides and places to climb.
Second day of Disneyland with Grandma Barbara and Grandpa Roger:
Eating lunch (brought it to save money!)
Aladdin show
After two days in Disneyland we spent the next day helping Matt's parents find out information on the backyard patio they want to do. They want to have a place where we can all go outside and a patio is a great way to do that. We love ours.
Walking out of the patio place--Abby likes to flip over while holding on to two people as they walk!
Grandma and Grandpa treated us to lunch at a popular L.A. restaurant called Philippes. They are known for their french dip sandwiches and I must say they were darn good. As a matter of fact, I want to eat one right now!
Abby trying her first pickled egg--she's braver than I am!
After the restaurant we visited Union Station and saw the trains--Abby was excited and it was a pretty cool place.
After two long days of fun I found Matt and Roger crashed on a bed and Grandma singing songs to Abby after her bath--so cute.
When we returned home we went and bought some fish. We ended up with six koi to see how they do. So far Abby named two of them--the black one is "Midnight" and the biggest white and blue is "Cougar." She is working on the rest. Right now they seem traumatized by their new home and like to hide from us. They have not eaten the food we give them, but we hope they will adjust. Abby is so excited to go out and see them. What fun it is to have fish in the pond.
We also finally planted something in our back planter. Small palm trees were on sale at Home Depot, so we picked up a few. They look so good in the yard.
It seems that many of our friends are having children and so I thought I would make and send them a baby blanket. I will not say who as I am sending them this week and I do not want them to know. But here are two of the blankets. One for a girl and one for a boy.
Matt mentioned the Kirby sales people in our last e-mail. Although we did not buy the vacuum it sure did pick up a lot of dirt out of a carpet that has only been used since September! Take a look:

Where did you come up with the idea for such awesomely amazing blankets? lol :) The blue turned out just as I had imagined. Glad you're getting the hang of crochet!
I stalk your blog, but I was so excited to see you went to Philippe's! That's been a family favorite for years! Yum!!
