Swinging Abe

Our unseasonably warm temperatures definitely lend themselves to little boys playing in the park and happily swinging away...

Another Busy Abe Weekend

 On Saturday, Joe and I headed to Cleveland to spend time with Abe while Noah and Amy visited the Cleveland Museum of Art.

We took our grandson to "The Red Store" aka Target and he picked out a few things.

This helicopter was one of them and he loved it so much he slept with it that very night.

You just have to love this boy...

 One of the many things I love about Abe is his imagination.

He often strikes this pose when he is thinking.

Abe decided to make this Big Wheels set a car wash and quite an involved one at that.

 Abe's beloved Ellie is his constant companion.

And then...

 Abe wanted to show us his train track set.  He had three trains running...one for him, Joe, and me.

We had just as much fun as Abe did, I am sure.

A bit later...

Abe invited Joe and I onto his bed for some "cuddle" time.  I cherish these moments, because Abe reserves most of his physical affection for Mom and Dad.

My children were very much the same way.

Later that evening...

Noah sent me this picture of Abe's expanded "Abeville".

The next morning...

Abe was back at it...Playing away!

Later...

Abe loves his outside time as well and helped his mom repot her indoor plants.

Abe also helped his dad with the yard work.

That boy is the best of helpers!

Grammy Visits

 Amy's mom, Judy, spent the week with Noah, Amy, and Abe.

Abe was on his spring break and his parents had to work, so this was a good time for Grammy to spend some one on one time with Abe.

Grandmother, mother, and grandson did manage to enjoy some time together at the neighborhood park.

 Happy times!

And then...

Judy likes projects and thought the Cabana Room could use some help.

I know Noah and Amy are very grateful for Judy's hard work.

Abe looks like he is giving his seal of approval as well!

~Grammy is the best~

Just Being Abe...With Daddy's Hat

 Abe discovered he really liked wearing Noah's hat.

After some conversation, father and son decided to take turns wearing the hat in the future.

A lesson in sharing...

Abe's Very Busy Easter Weekend

Our entire Little Family gathered on the farm for lunch, an Easter Egg Hunt, and the Coloring of Eggs the day before Easter.

After lunch, Abe found a bucket outside the door and called to everyone to join in on his Egg Finding Adventure!

 And away he went...

Abe looks so tall in this picture!

He was on a mission, that's for sure!

Abe especially liked the animal shaped eggs.

Abe recruited some help from his mom...

He didn't want to miss a single egg!

I think the grown-ups had almost as much fun as Abe...

Abe remained on the lookout for eggs all the way back to the house.

And then...

Abe opened up every egg and separated the candy from the little toys very methodically.

After that...

Noah got the egg dyes all ready.

He is such a natural in the kitchen no matter what he does!

Serious business...even Ellie was part of the coloring experience.

A bit later...

Abe wanted to retrace his steps to make sure there were no undiscovered eggs.

Sandbox time...

Abe was in the midst of planning an airport and landing field.

Brooke was in a happy mood.

She had just had a wedding dress fitting and the dress was even more beautiful than she remembered.

All of a sudden, Abe declared it was time to go home.

We later found out Abe wanted to refill all of his eggs and organize a little Egg Hunt of his own in his backyard.

No wonder he was eager to head home.

The next day...Easter Sunday

Pat and Cassi hosted a wonderful Easter Dinner at their home.

It was delicious!

Abe was a very lucky little boy...One of his cousins held another Easter Egg Hunt and he had a ball.

Scott and Brooke were full of the Easter Spirit.

We also celebrated Scott's birthday, which happened to fall on Easter this year.

He shares his birthday with his mom.

How great is that?

Later...

Abe was happy to return to his beautiful home after another full day with family.

I am hoping the memories of this Easter will remain in his head and heart forever...

~It was the best of Easter Weekends~

The Neighborhood Gang

Abe is lucky to have a neighborhood park and even luckier to have such wonderful neighborhood friends!

Welcome to Abe's Daily Adventures

This blog will be all about Abe and his family.
Sometimes the posts will be from Abe's point of view and sometimes his Oma (me) will narrate the adventures.
