Latest from the McFarlane gang

We've been pretty busy around here.  My mom ("Mimi", Cheryl) came to meet Abby for the first time on Feb 6th.  She stayed for about 5 days, and we had a wonderful time.  She was such a great help around the house - cooking, cleaning, grocery shopping, laundry, holding Abby.  She's a pro diaper-changer, baby-bather, fussy-crying-soother.  Thanks again, Mom, for coming and for being such a great mom and grandmother.  It was a really special time.

Grandma and Grandpa McFarlane came to meet Abby on Feb 14th.  They also have been such a help around here.  They gave Abby a bath today.  Abby loves baths.  She just lays back and relaxes in the soothing warm water.  Ahhhhh.  Monica and Bart have been doing so much around the house as well.  Bart went grocery shopping so we could make all the meals that Monica planned.  Needless to say, we've been eating well!  

Yesterday, Abby went on her first shopping spree at the Baby Gap.  We had a gift certificate from one of Bart's very generous clients.  Mommy and Grandma also spent a little bit more for some "must haves" like Ugly Bunny (similar to one I had when I was a little girl) and matching onsie/sweater sets.  We had an absolute blast.  Even though Abby was sleeping the whole time, she had fun soaking in all the retail sale rack goodness! :)

Here's a little video so you can see the Abbster in action.  She was a little fussy during the video, but sure enough, she calmed down right after we were done shooting.  Such great timing, huh?
