Abigail and Abigail

Last week Abigail had a play date with her good friend also named Abigail. They go to church together and are two peas in a pod. We are sad the Corleys are moving soon to Alabama and will really miss them. My Abigail has learned to respond to her first and last name as a result of having Abigail Corley in her classes. Her teachers may still call her Hunsberger just for fun. Here are a few pictures of the two Abigails enjoying each other's company.

Snacking and chatting in the empty pool.

They then move to the beach towels for more serious discussions.

My Abigail was THRILLED to have a play mate at the house.

Back to the pool for some goofing around.

We love you Abigail Corley!

It's Pool Time

Since it has been warming up here in Mississippi, we pulled the backyard baby pool out and Abigail has been enjoying it on warm afternoons. She actually likes the pool just as much without water in it too (more on that in a later post). The first two pictures are what she does in the pool if I fill it up with water from the outdoor hose. She will not sit down because it is so cold! Just stands there and plays without getting too wet.

If I fill the pool with just somewhat cool water from the sink (which involves hauling multiple buckets of water outside in many trips from the kitchen) she will actually sit and relax some.

"Ah, this is the life!"

Here is a taste of Abigail enjoying the water fun!

Let's Race

A couple of weeks ago, Abigail rode with Daddy in her first 5K race. It was a beautiful day and she enjoyed the ride. I am sure this will not be her last race with Daddy.

Here are the racers about to take off. (Pardon Abigail's pitiful look. She had just gotten over a stomach bug

Coming to the finish line!

Gumby got in on the race action too (after riding only 30 miles on his bike!).
Running makes you thirsty!

Visitors and the Zoo

Last week Me-Mommy and D-Daddy came to visit during their spring break. Abigail loved having them visit and enjoyed playing outside in the pretty weather.

While they were here, we took Abigail's first trip to the zoo. She has recently become very interested in the animals in her books or on T.V. so she was at a good age to try out the zoo. We picked a great day to go because there was NO ONE there. I seriously think we saw less than five other people visiting the zoo. So, Abigail was able to run around as much as she wanted to without getting in anyone's way.

Here she is blowing kisses to the big Orangutans.

The Jackson zoo has a new tiger exhibit with three triplet brother tigers.

Thanks for coming Me-Mommy and D-Daddy. You can book your next spring break 2011 anytime.

P.S. Sorry for sending you home with my stomach bug!

Easter Fun

Our family enjoyed a beautiful Easter Sunday yesterday. We celebrated Christ's resurrection with our church family at morning services, enjoyed some family time in the afternoon, and went back to church for the observance of the Lord's Supper Sunday night.

Abigail has really enjoyed this Easter season. We practiced hunting eggs in the backyard for the whole week leading up to Easter and she could not get enough of it. Only now she thinks we can't go outside without her basket in hand. Here are a few pictures of our practice runs.

Some friends from church invited us to their neighborhood egg hunt on Saturday and it was perfect weather for a fun day outside. There were kids everywhere and Abigail loved all of the action. She was the youngest one there so she had many "helpers" who took good care of her the whole time.

When it came time for the actual egg hunt, look what we found resting in Abigail's basket! Poor thing was just looking for a spot away from all of the kids.

The backyard practice sessions paid off as Abigail was ready when it was game time and quickly picked up several eggs.

As already mentioned, Sunday was a great day and we snapped a couple of pictures post church before changing into play clothes.

Once again, Abigail hit the jackpot with her Easter basket and oohed and aahhed over everything she pulled out.
