Day Off
Last month I planned a day off for today planning to be in a seminar, but I missed the registration deadline and I didn't go. This gave me a whole day with Abi. And it was a beautiful day; 69F and sunny. Great day for a date with my little girl ;-)
We went shopping to one of the malls near Charlotte and we had a blast. This is Abi 'shopping' and having lunch with me
From the mall we went home so Abi could take her nap and then we headed out to the playground picking up Aly, Abi's older friend.
After all of this fun we ended up home for dinner, more outdoors playing and books reading and of course watching a cartoon eating apples
It was such a fun day! Abi has changed so much within the past couple weeks it is hard to believe! She talks more, uses more words, puts 2-3 words together, is pure fun and joy to have her around.
Nope, it's not easy hehe, I'm exhausted, but spending time with her like this is one of the best things that could have ever happened to me.

Her first surgery - PA band - was scheduled for December 8th, 2009, however unexpectedly was changed to an Open Heart Surgery (OHS) called Double Switch performed on December 9th, 2009, originally planned for much later...
