Happy Valentine's Day


Not sure what to think of this crazy Valentine's boa!

Much happier with the lion wearing the boa!

Abbie is sporting 2 items from a special Valentine's care package she received from her Nana Rose and Papa Ray! I put the boa on the couch for her to watch from afar a day or so after we got it and she'd just stare at it. Then I put it on the floor where she plays and she'd reach out slowly and touch it and then pull her hand back and crawl away. Letting her warm up to that crazy looking and feeling thing! So here's the final product of her "wearing" the boa to pose for a special picture. This blog is dedicated to Nana and Papa! I tried to wrap it around her neck but she just wouldn't go for that! Oh well, it turned out cute anyways! She's definitely our little Valentine and gift from God above!

Let It Snow!


Abbie helping Mommy fold laundry one day, she LOVED pulling it off the couch before I could get to it! Big helper! haha!

Watching the snow start to fall out the window at the end of January.

Her reaction to the snow was to just kick her right foot in it, stare at it, and then not long before she realized her bottom was freezing and cried!

Mommy and Abbie with the "snow family" we created in today's snow.

Daddy and Abbie

The past 2 weeks Abbie has had the 2nd and 3rd snows of her lifetime! Feels like we are back in Nashville, because it's rare that it snows in Memphis! We've welcomed it though, especially because it means Daddy is off work! We are just a little more than 2 weeks away from Abbie's 1st Birthday! Can't believe it! We plan on spending Valentine's Eve together as a family and eating a yummy homemade dinner at home! I think that will be Mike and I's Valentine tradition. His culinary creations are better than any we can get at a restaurant! Last Valentine's Day we were waiting on our little Fusser! Time has flown and God is SO GOOD! He's blessed our family more than we could ever ask or imagine! Daily as I walk the road of being Abbie's mommy, God teaches me something new about how much He loves me, how patient He is with me, and how much He cares for me. It's so humbling for sure!
