ah, home sweet home. after being gone for 5 days, it's awesome being back home. this past sunday after abby and i were done at church, we drove up to menasha for vacation. sunday night we had thanksgiving dinner with brian's parents, cory, cortlee, and the boys...tenderloin, homemade mac-and-cheese, and various other goodies. abby loved playing with the boys, and they loved it too. monday night, brian and i went out for dinner and a movie as our early christmas present to each other (gotta take advantage of the babysitting when it's available). we went to sergio's, and then saw "saw III". it was pretty good, but definitely more gory than the first 2. tuesday, we took advantage of a free Y pass and went swimming. abby wasn't sure what she thought at first, but by the end, she was having a blast. she hung onto the side all by herself, and occasionally would dunk herself completely underwater and then pull herself back up...she thought it was hilarious. she definitely had a good nap that day. before she went to bed that night, we watched a little of the christmas parade on TV, but she didn't seem to have much interest in it. after she went to bed, brian and i went to clancy's to play trivia with cory and brandon. then on wednesday, we packed up and went to appleton to stay with my parents for the night. abby went to the park with grandpa schultz and had a great time. yesterday (thursday), we all drove to milwaukee to spend thanksgiving day with the schultz side of the family. the food was great, and abby had a good time. she had the first of her 2 birthday cakes, and experienced frosting for the first time. the verdict? overwhelmingly positive. so much so that she tried to steal mine. she also got an aquadoodle mat from the strommen family that we haven't tried yet.
all in all, it was a great vacation, but it's nice to be back.
now, we start looking forward to abby's birthday next week, and her party next saturday. and then before you know it, it's christmas. crazy time of year.
