More pictures from Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving with the Hirota's and Krissy

On Wendesday, I flew back to Colorado from San Diego. We were late arriving to the airport, but, it was quite nice. I went straight to check in, flew through security, and then right onto the plane. Gotta love having a baby, everyone wants to help and you never have to wait in line ;-P. Not long after I boarded the plane, Abigail wanted to eat, which was great because she ate during take off and giggled at the lady next to me for half of the flight. The other half she slept and then woke up to eat as we were landing. I couldn't have asked for a better trip. As soon as I got off, I called Lynda, and she was already there with Justin waiting for me to arrive. We went straight to baggage and there were my bags, already there for me. I've never had such a smooth trip, haha.

Not long after we got home, I drove up to Ft. Collins to pick Krissy up. I left Abby with her Obasan and Uncle Justin, so, I was able to talk to my daddy on the way up, and then had a really good chat with Krissy on the way down. I love my family. Tupac was THRILLED to see Krissy. I think he loves her more than me, hehe. I missed that dog so much while I was gone...I don't know what I'm going to do over Christmas with out him. I wish he was smaller so that he could fly on the plane.

We ate the next day and it was soooooooooooo yummy. Oddly, I was most excited about crescent rolls, haha. Abby was pretty good that day, besides the blowout all over her Thanksgiving outfit five minutes after putting it on. Abigail LOVES Justin. Every time that they looked at each other, she would start cooing. She also fell asleep on him, it was so so cute. What a lucky baby girl to have such loving Aunts and Uncle. I'll add more pictures of the day after I get home :-).

San Diego (Encinitas) is AWESOME!

So, Abigail and I have been in San Diego with my family since Tuesday and it has been such a wonderful stay so far!! It was so weird to leave 50 degree weather and to arrive in San Diego where it was between 70 and 90 degrees.

On Wednesday, we picked Alex up from her appt. and went to lunch at Pizza Nova. It was so yummy! I had A LOT of garlic....as did Abigail around three hours later. I think she enjoyed it..which is a good thing because I really want her to enjoy garlicy foods. After we dropped Alex off at school, Aunt Kim and Abigail and I went to Target to look for Abigail's baby gift. Aunt Kim got her a bumbo, Baby Einsteins tape, and some toys. I'm in love with the bumbo! It's perfect for sitting her down so I can get something done, and she is a happy little peach. She also likes to sit in it to watch tv (what am I in for...she already loves the television, yikes).

On Thursday, we went to the commissary where Aunt Kim was in HEAVEN. She said that it had been 14 years since she was able to shop there. She enjoyed it so much, and, she cut her grocery budget in half this month. It made me happy to help. I figure, I don't use the benefits, so, why not allow a veteran to have them. The commissary in Colorado Springs doesn't save as much as it does here in California, where prices are way too high.

Yesterday Abby and I went to the mall and found a gift for baby Jake. Then mommy got a few clothing items because maternity clothes are just not looking right anymore. I figure that it's okay to buy a few clothes because, I'm only going to be pregnant again and back at this size some day in the future. Though, I do have to say...I despise shopping for myself. Especially with a crying baby. This mall was really neat...they had a family lounge with three nursing rooms. VERY convenient. After Aunt Kim picked us up, we went to see the end of the vollyball game. They are supposed to be AMAZING...as in one of the top teams in California.

Today, we are going out to find a present for Giles (from me), a present for Katie's friend (she's going to a sweet sixteen today), and then just to look around.

just a few more pictures from this weekend.

This past weekend, Abigail, Tupac and I drove up to my in laws. We always have so much fun...and eat lots of good food. We also went to Aunt Krissy's to hang out for a little while and to drop Tupac off. It feels so weird to leave him behind and I already miss him so much!!! We leave for California tomorrow and I'm so so excited! Anyways, here are a few pictures from this weekend. I swear that Abigail is not obese...though, she looks that way in a few of the pictures.

Daddy woke Abigail

Well, Christian called while I was taking a photo of Abigail sleeping. Alas, this nap was a short one.

This past Saturday, we had a girls day at Jessica's. I know I wrote about it before, but, I wanted to add a few pictures of Abigail and Noah together. They were so cute!

I've been busy busy busy. Abigail and I are flying to California next Tuesday for two weeks!!! I'm so excited. I've already started packing, hehe.
