Family Time!

Last week Bryce was gone all week for work and Abby had a pretty tough time with it.  Bryce travels quite a bit for work but he was actually home for more than 2 months straight so Abby got used to him being there all the time.  Monday and Tuesday were the hardest for her. Poor little girl.  She must have said "I miss my Daddy" or "I really, really, really, REALLY miss my Daddy" about 20 times a day all the way up until Friday when he came home.  Then they were attached at the hip for the entire weekend and our little girl was on cloud 9 because her Daddy was home!  :) 

Anytime Bryce lays down like this, Abby jumps onto his back.  This time, she's also combing his hair.  :)

*Don't tell but Bryce is actually stalking my Pinterest page here.  He looks at all the recipes and found an awesome pita bread recipe which we (he and Abby) used to make gyros for dinner Sunday night.  Thank you Bryce and thank you Pinterest!*

This is a bad picture but Abby looks EXACTLY like me in my baby pictures - minus the brown hair.  Scaaarrryyy.....

Canoodling.

Love, love, love.

I woke up entirely too early on Sunday and desperately needed a nap by the afternoon so I decided to take one on the couch.  The next thing I know, Abby hands me my favorite teddy bear, Mr. Bear, grabs her Lego box to use as a seat and gets a book to read to me while I go to sleep.  Monkey see, monkey do?  Definitely.  It was so sweet.  She obviously can't read but she was whispering the book to me by memory.  I can't think of a better way to fall asleep.  :)

(Side note, Bryce took this picture and I saw it upon waking up and the first thought in my mind was that I resembled a beached whale.  Ruby says it's not that bad though.)  :P

While I was snoozing away, Bryce and Abby were busy making the pita bread from scratch.  Bryce took this video and I must say Abby is quite the Little Baker (pun intended!).  I was impressed and so proud of her!  She loves to help Bryce make any kind of bread so I'm not surprised.  :)

Final product.

It was delicious and super puffy!

And on a totally unrelated note, I'm usually really precise about how I fold my clean dish towels but Abby loves to help with laundry nowadays so this is how our dish towels turn out.  She even trifolds like I do!  At first I would re-do them but now I have learned to let it go.  It's taking time but I'm getting better about my OCDness!
