Uncle Brian, Aunt Desiree, and Cousin Dianna -- and Guitar Hero!






Jim and I decided to take Abby for her first road trip over 4th of July weekend -- yikes! I was a bit nervous about it . . . I mean, she did great on the plane ride to Seattle, but she obviously didn't have to be strapped into a carseat for the entire time. Anyway, we were anxious to introduce our little Abigail to Jim's brother, Brian, and his wife Desiree and daughter Dianna ("D"), and therefore, packed our little family up for the six hour drive to Phoenix. (Of course, this normally would take 4.5 hours without a three-and-a-half month old baby.) Abby was once again a total champ on the trip. She slept for awhile, and was overall a perfect baby on the trip. The child doesn't cease to amaze me!!!!
We had a great time with the family. We spent the majority of the weekend playing Guitar Hero on Wii, as well as bowling, baseball, boxing, etc, etc. It was a great way to pass the time indoors since it was 115 outside! We had such a great time, Jim and I went out and bought ourselves a Wii yesterday. Yes, we are totally addicted!!!!
In conclusion, I have to say, it is definitely a blessing when people love your baby . . . and Uncle Brian, Aunt Desiree, and D obviously loved Abby to pieces. She had so much fun with them, and as you can see, she loved them right back. It was great to watch them all together . . . and to see Abby's reaction to their three wiener dogs. Abby thinks dogs are much more interesting than our boring cats!

A few friends and I googled an old friend of ours and came across your blog. The "Uncle Brian" looks a lot like him. Is he, by any chance, from Oswego, N.Y.? We know his moms name was Diane. If you think this is him is there any way for us to get in touch with him? It would really be appriciated :)
