Abby update - March 2-4

Well, we're home from a great weekend--almost ready to face another week of work, school, and therapy, respectively. Actually, it was really good to get away for our first "fun" weekend since Abby's accident, and I have been thankful over and over to have had this opportunity with our whole family...


First, back to Friday--Abby had a wonderfully fun day at therapy with her two friends, Taylor and Hannah. Friends make therapy so much more fun, and Taylor and Hannah joined Abby in some hopscotch, dart-throwing, foot-races, and memory games (Taylor and Hannah thought some of the therapists' challenges were pretty tough too!). Thanks, girls, for giving Abby a great day!


Later that evening we headed southeast to Lake Jackson. Gordon attended a meeting of the Texas Chapter of The American Fisheries Society, and, though the kids and I left the work mostly to him, Abby was able to meet some of the many folks in that group who have expressed their prayers and concern for her. The kids got the chance to visit Sea Center Texas, play on the beach (the water and wind were still pretty cold), swim in the heated pool (much better option than the Gulf), and play Putt-Putt golf. In between, Frank watched as much National Geographic channel and ESPN as possible.


Then, today we took the long way home (the very long way, if you ask Frank) and visited many of the Stephen F. Austin sites that Abby is studying in Texas history. It was a very good weekend, with a beautiful moon-rise as we pulled into the drive at home.


But, the sun will come up tomorrow, so we'd better get to bed tonight...
Love,
