it's been a while

What a mess. First, a storm came through and fried our computer. Dead. Not that I was too upset - we got to bury an 8-year-old computer and buy a new one. :) Then a few busy days went by and about a week into new computer ownership I tried to blog. Couldn't upload pictures, couldn't save drafts, couldn't publish posts...AARRGGHHH!!!! Then Andy and I went out of town and today is our first day back. Computer guy Matt just left, after expertly correcting all that was wrong with our settings and such, and I can blog again. Yippee!!! So, here is a hodge-podge of thoughts and pictures:

First, a few pictures from Father's Day...
Tell me we aren't in for it with Abby. This is her "No photographs, please." look:
A few days later we took Jake and Abby to the Ranger game where Andy had awesome seats seven rows up from home plate.

Abby in her new hat:
Little story about getting that hat:
Andy takes Jake and Abby to get hats while I stayed in our seats. Abby picks out her hat and Andy turns his attention to Jake to find out which hat he wanted. Turns back to Abby...NO ABBY! Gone. Police were searching, Jake was upset, other fans were searching. And little miss Abigail was back with me at our seats. I thought Andy had watched her walk back down to me and then gone with Jake somewhere. I had no idea she had found her way back all alone until Andy frantically comes running down to tell me our only daughter was missing and saw her sitting in my lap. Not a happy daddy, let me tell you. But so thankful she was safe!

I have a few more outings to post, but I'll do that in a little while. Off to cook dinner...
