Here a Hanger, There a Hanger, Everywhere a Hanger!

These pictures are really out of focus, so please excuse the bad photography. It is hard to capture Abby in motion with my camera phone, but I wanted to share with you some of our Memorial Day weekend. While Jack was with Meemaw and Gramps at the Casino in Lake Charles, Michael and I stayed home with Abby and continued to work in our room to clean out 6 years worth of accumulation from our closets - YIKES! As we reclaimed hangers, Abby had a lot of fun "helping" her Daddy get them organized to go back in a box:She also enjoyed the bag full of hotel shampoos, soaps, etc. that will go to the Seafarers' Center in Beaumont. I am not that worried about Abby having to go without her toys while we have the house on the market - she removed bottles from the bag, shook them up to see whether each bottle made a noise, put them in another bag, and then repeated the process over and over again. We still have a little bit left to do in our room, but we also made some big headway in Jack's room while he was away. Thanks to Meemaw and Gramps, the removal and reorganization of toys over the weekend was a non-event, and Jack was pretty happy with the end result. He even got to help Michael take down the train table after he got back home - Jack thought Michael's drill was "amazing."

We then spent the afternoon of Memorial Day with friends, and enjoyed some time in the pool with Abby and Jack. I will update this post later with some other pictures from the weekend, including some of Michael and Abby at Brooke's graduation party, where Abby was fascinated with the grass...I just realized that most of the pictures of our children on this blog feature them in nothing more than their underwear or diaper. Hmmm. It just became really important to put up some more pictures of clothed children, so that we can actually remember that Jack and Abby did have clothing, and that they wore it, on occasion.
