This edition of Odds and Ends is entirely about Abby and Ben :)
I can't remember who snapped this one of a cuddly Ben during game night...
Abby was so good with Ben the couple of weeks we had her home.
He enjoyed her getting the family books down from the shelf and "reading" them to him.
At some point she took a few selfies :)
Often, when I play the piano, Ben will grab whatever he is doing in the other room and make many trips into the front room to transfer all of the toys to start lining up on the piano bench.
This time he was extra cuddly and Andy captured the moment.
Ha! This one makes me laugh!
Ben has never loved gripping a writing/coloring utensil. However, he has a hard time letting go of whatever toys (usually animals or cars) he brings to school with him. So, when his class took a field trip to Jump the Moon art studio, the people there were super clever and taped the markers to his animals to get him to participate :) They said it worked great!
Tired guy...
We enjoyed our short time with Abs before the day arrived to take her to the airport to fly off to Alaska!
Our friend Katie Young's cousin manages a few fishing lodges in Ketchikan and had encouraged Abby for a couple of years to go up and work for him one summer. Well, with the loss of her car and the realization of how expensive living away from home was, she decided to take a semester of school off and earn some money. So, 5 months in Alaska at the Silver King Lodge became the plan!
(Josh followed us down in his car to see her off and then continued on to Provo for his FSY training)
