Sleepover, sickness, shots, and sewing

Since last time, we had our first family overnighter.  We traveled to Logan to attend a sealing and reception of some great friends--Jen and Mike Teagle.  In route we were able to stop by and introduce Abigail to Great-Grandma and Grandpa  Lord.

We had a few mishaps during the trip: the road to the hotel being closed, not being able to check in right away, rushing to feed Abigail before rushing to the temple, spitting up on the hotel bed skirt, and having 6 hours to try and fill between checkout and the reception (Abigail definitely got tired of being in the car).

But all in all it was a great trip and Abigail did wonderfully well sleeping in an unfamiliar place.  She also was able to have her first official Daddy-Daughter dance.

The cold also hit our household this month.  It started with Steve, then Abigail, then Alison.  We are happy to report that we are all feeling better now.  Unfortunately Abigail's 2 month immunizations fell during the same week we were sick, which made the shots even worse.  The night following her shots she would wake up moaning and whimpering.  I don't know which is worse, the pain cry after the shots or the sick cry that night.  Within a couple days Abigail was back to her old self.

Alison decided to be crafty with some sewing projects.  She saw a pattern for "circle skirts" and decided to make a pink one to go with a hat and booties (from Grandma Harris) for Abigail's 2 month pictures.

 She then made matching skirts for her and Abigail.  Then she got really crazy and added head bands and even a tie for Steve.  They will all be debuted at Abigail's blessing this Sunday.
