New Specs for Gram

Beautiful lady but outdated glasses!

Much better!

Check out Grandma's new glasses!  They are a great improvement over her old ones don't you think?  There's only one problem with them - Standard Optical put the wrong lenses in and she can't see out of them!  Nice.  Jeff and I went to Logan today to see "Aida", an opera that Grandpa and Grandma bought tickets for.  We got enough culture today to last a lifetime!  It was 3 hours and 20 minutes long!!!!  It was in Italian - or so they said - Jeff couldn't tell!  It was minimally enjoyable, but a nice gesture from great parents!  

It's official - her name is Abigail Jean!

She looked so beautiful in her dress - and it's long enough she can get baptized in it too!

Hmm, is it the look of love?  Lacey and Jacob

Gram, Amy, Jonathan and Abbie

There was a time when we wondered if our sweet little Abbie would keep the name we had been calling her for months so some of us held our breath Sunday when Jonathan blessed her!   We were relieved to hear him say "Abigail Jean" as it would have been hard to start calling her Jane, the name they considered for her.   Everything went as planned though and it was a great day.  We all enjoyed our time with each other, though we missed Spencer who had to work and of course our Boston kids.  Jacob and Lacey came from California which made the day even more special.  Jeff drove to Logan (what a great guy!) in the morning to pick up Grandma Barr so she could be with us but Grandpa & Grandma Miller weren't able to make it.  Abbie was a perfect angel and we were so glad to be there for her special day.  Jaxson was asked to give the prayer before the meal and he brought a tear to my eyes and made my heart soar with pride when he said, "We are grateful to be in the presence of this beautiful baby girl."  He's only eleven!  What a sweet, gentle boy he is!
