Round and round

YUM!!Japanese food

Jacob getting ready for base-ball.
Pushing my baby in her stroller

Abby Grace having Chop-Suey for breakfast...yummy!
V and Emma ready for the Young Miss General pageant.

V's program: From Acorns to Oaks.


It is so amazing how busy life gets just from adding one more to the bunch. Seems like I am always doing laundry or on the go. I feel as though I am on a merry-go-round. Once I think I'm done something new begins. I guess that explains why I haven't posted in a week and a half.

Abby is doing great. She has turned out to be quite a little spit-fire. She loves to get her way and will cry if she hears the word no. She has thrown a few fits, not as many as her big brother Jacob but still quite a few. She spent two evenings at home with the boys and Sean while V and I went to her class musical on Tuesday night and the school pageant on Friday night. Both nights she did great. Sean occupied her by playing outside and feeding her. He even got her in the tub one night. She is finally loving her daddy and warming up to the boys.

We went to church this morning and she did pretty good. We had to go to the atrium for the last 15 minutes or so but she lasted 45 minutes in the service. She met a lot of church members today who had been praying for her surgery and recovery. It was no nice and comforting to hear them say "I've been praying for her, how is she doing?" I know that prayer got us over this hurdle.

**Abbyisms**
*She still loves to eat noodles.
*She loves pushing her baby in her stroller all over the house and down the road.
*She likes a bath now, but only wants a few toys in the tub with her.
*She says no a lot.
*She says uh-oh a lot too.
*She loves her big sister.
*She loves to eat cole-slaw. (go figure, I hate cole-slaw)
*She likes to eat her cheerios dry but likes to eats her sisters with milk.
*She loves watermelon and apples.
*She can put on her own pants and shoes.
*She likes the music at church but does not like it when I sing along to it.
*She is a southern girl who likes her iced-tea and Pepsi.
*She likes to cook and stir with her play food and dishes.
*She sleeps like a log, all night...yippee!

She is a perfect fit for our family. Thank you Lord for giving us this wonderful child.
