Friday my mom came down to spend most of the day with us. I took a vacation day and Abby stayed home from school. It is really difficult for mom to come down to visit us because she takes care of our family friend, Bryan, as well as my grandmother. So, we were very glad she was able to work it out!
Abby was just plain excited to see her grandma (Gigi). We went to the park (where I managed to forget my camera) and then went to eat at Evans Fine Foods. Evans has been around since the beginning of time. It is a diner type restaurant where they still only take cash. I remember reading a review one time where they called Evans something "straight out of Pulp Fiction" and that does pretty much sum it up. We normally go there for breakfast. In all the years I have lived here (and eaten at Evans), I had never ever eaten lunch there before. The lunch food was really good and our waiter appropriately grumpy (though Abby did win him over).
After lunch we just came back to our house. My mom helped me clean out Abby's sandbox and I filled it with the sand I bought a month ago. Abby has been happily playing in the sand ever since. I'm not sure what it is about sand and kids but whatever it is also works for adults. I love playing in the sand with her. Abby informed me I'm pretty good at building canyons. That is quite the compliment.
A couple of pictures of my two girls. Lucy is in heaven when we are all outside together.
