making new friends

Robert was in North Carolina on Tuesday and Wednesday leading some kind of training session for work. Abigail and I definitely missed him.  Lately I've been on a hunt to find fun activities to keep me and Abby busy when Robert deploys in July. That month keeps looming closer and closer and I'm trying my best to have a positive attitude about it. So...on Wednesdays we go to the library for story/music time. The first couple of times we went I felt a little left out because it seemed like most of the moms already knew each other. Then, voila! This week we saw Megan and Avery from one of our other play groups and Abby and Avery sat side by side on the blanket together. On Thursdays and Fridays we go to a new moms group and baby play time at Baby Bungalow and that got us connected with a Tampa Bay Moms Meetup Group that hosts all kinds of get togethers throughout the week. So we're doing our best to make new friends. I'd like for Abby to have the opportunity to play with other babies several times a week. I'm also looking into signing her up for a music class or maybe even a baby swim class over the summer. 

After listening to juries on Monday, I'm done with my Polk State teaching for the semester (hooray!) so we can go to Wee Play at our church on Monday mornings. We also made friends with Mike, Nikki & baby Emma right down the street and we often meet up with them for our evening walk. Emma is very vocal and chatty during the walks but it's still always quiet, serious time for Abby when she's in her stroller. :) 

Robert was happy to get home from work last night so that he could catch up with his little girl. I think they kind of like each other.
