Our trip to NJ, VA and DC

We started June with a trip to Virginia for a dear friend's wedding. On the way, we stopped at Grammy and G-diddy's in NJ for a visit and picked up Grammy to take her to VA with us.

Abby's favorite memories from this visit include (but are definitely not limited to):

playing in the Grammy's yard (especially with Greeley!)

exploring the fish pond

She couldn't understand why no one would let her get in with the fishies

playing in the hose with Daddy

drying off with Grammy

on the move. This girl's got places to go.

After a night in NJ, we headed to VA to celebrate with my good friend Lauren as she got married to Daniel! Grammy and Abby spent the afternoon together while Joe and I went to the wedding. It was a beautiful day filled with lots of rejoicing! God is so good. The wedding was a beautiful reminder to me of God's faithfulness and amazing redemptive plan. And the details of the wedding were so creative and fun! I just had to take lots of pictures to share.

While at the wedding, Abby and Grammy had a blast together taking walks, reading books and playing in the sink.

favorite new hotel pastime

Before heading back to NJ for a night, we decided to drive 30 minutes to make a quick stop in D.C., so Abby could see a few sights for the first time. HA. Who are we kidding? We knew she wouldn't remember it, but it was a fun excuse to get a few pictures of her in front of some cool places and to spend time together in the nation's capital before hitting the road.

so thankful we got to spend some great quality time with Grammy

wondering if Sasha and Malia wanted to come out and play...maybe they can bring their puppy?


Some of Abby's other favorites not pictured include: playing chess with G-diddy, feeding Greeley all of her food, teasing Greeley with his toy chicken so he would chase her around the house, climbing the stairs at record speed, playing with all 10 remote controls, jumping on Grammy and G-diddy's bed, playing with Grammy's old dolls, playing the irish drum...no wonder this girl was exhausted on the way home!


What a great trip! Thanks Grammy for coming with us!
