Today Abbie decided she wanted to make a fairy house, so she collected flower petals, rocks, twigs, etc., chose the spot she wanted for the fairy house, and went right to work (of course mama helped a lot too). There's a little flower petal bed, sticks/ivy couch, pine cone closet, pine needles path, bark door, and she even made a roof of leaves - so precious! I think her fairies may “magically” appear in it some morning to make her smile. :)
Tomorrow morning Greg's headed to the airport to lead a team of 10 from our church to Guatemala for 9 days! Please pray for the team to be safe, healthy, and to touch others with the love of Jesus (they'll be leading a VBS, doing construction, visiting children in the hospital, and more). Also, please pray for this Mama on her own with her 5-year-old, 4-year-old, and 3-month-old for 9 days! :)
Today we added a new feature to our blog! If you look to the right of this post under our family picture, you'll see a place where you can enter your email address and have these blog posts emailed to you directly. If you check this blog regularly then this is a great feature because you don't have to check this blog anymore rather you'll know when we've updated because you'll have the posts emailed to you. Hope it's helpful to many of you! :)
Enjoying the summer sun in his cool shades. Unfortunately our little man has become quite the thumb sucker! We keep pulling his thumb out and giving him a pacifier (we would much rather him become addicted to his pacifier which we can someday take away as opposed to him becoming addicted to his thumb which we obviously can't take away), but he's determined to suck on his thumb and not the paci. Oh well - we can't win all battles! I love how he doesn't curl his fist, but sucks his thumb with his fingers covering his face - so cute! :)
Abbie had her dance recital on Saturday, and she was completely adorable and fabulous! She tap danced to Broadway Baby. (Abbie is on the far right.) She did a ballet dance to The Sound of Music. (Abbie is second from the right.) My brother, David, got married over Memorial Day weekend! Christian and Abbie had the honor of being the Ring Bearer and the Flower Girl. We were so blessed to be able to share in the joy of David and Karin's wedding! David initiating the covenant. David watching his beautiful bride walk down the aisle. Charge to the Couple Vows Sand Ceremony David Praying Below is a video of Abbie dancing and twirling at Uncle David and Aunt Karin's wedding reception. Sometimes I wish I could just freeze time and keep her my baby girl forever. :) Yesterday Isaac tired out his outdoor swing for the first time and he loved it! He cried when we took him out to go inside. |
