Abby left early this morning for Grand Rapids to get ready for law school in the fall. We can hardly believe that 10 months went by already! When she moved in with us, the babies were really babies and pretty much just sat there. During her time here, she was able to watch them grow, learn to crawl, learn to eat real foods, learn to walk, and learn to talk. Of course she got to see lots of other things too, like the evolution of their relationship with each other, and the beginnings of their mischief. And they were able to meet her main goal before she left: they both started saying "abby" within the past two weeks. We will miss her and everything that she did for us, which includes more than just taking great care of the kids. She also took care of us by attempting to keep our house clean (her extreme cleanliness balanced out my more "relaxed" style), and by helping out with things like laundry, grocery shopping, and cooking dinner. And of course I can't forget how nice it was to send her out shopping for cute clothes for the kids (those of you who know me know that shopping isn't my favorite activity :) And lastly, she did get me hooked on such t.v shows like The Hills and introduced me to Facebook , for which I will be forever grateful. Of course there are many more things that I could mention, as you get to know someone when you live with them for 10 months. The house seems emptier now, and I know that Elsie and Jess will miss their "ah-bee" a whole lot.
