Abby's first Sunday

Yesterday was Abby's first time attending our home congregation in Columbus. She had attended church services twice before (once in Massachusetts, and last weekend in Cincinnati), but this was the first time most of the members at F&K had a chance to meet Abby in person.

Coincidentally, it also was the day she turned 10 months old.

As usual, Abby did exceptionally well. She was quite well behaved during both morning and evening services, only having to go out once toward the end of the evening service. Her worst behavior was her loud sucking when drinking her bottle -- hopefully, nobody was too bothered by that!

She was, of course, the star of the show, with countless people coming up to meet her. She handled it well, and even smiled most of the time. She even did well in the nursery while both of us went to Bible class.

It also was the first time ever Abby got to leave the apartment three times in one day. It was such a nice day that we took her for an afternoon walk.

Today's agenda: Abby needs a bath and another walk. Also, Bravo is showing a marathon of "The West Wing," so I'm sure that will keep my attention for the next few hours.

In bad news, Columbus-based Skybus shut down late Friday, forcing us to scramble to make alternate plans for our summer trips to Iowa and Massachusetts. Not cool.
