Skinny Butt

This is Abbi's new favorite game that dad created last night, the Abbi car. She loves to be pulled around in the laundry basket. I think the spoon is supposed to be the gear shift. I am sure if she could talk she would say "go faster" and "dad, go down the stairs". This one is going to be fearless I tell you.

I have never or will never have Abbi's problem of skinniness. I couldn't resist taking this picture. She was army crawling around the house and since the cute thing doesn't have a butt, her pants just wiggled right off. I just hate it when your pants fall right off your butt because you don't have one. =).

Trials

I am always grateful for trials when I am not having them. Isn't that funny?! I love to be able to look back and see what I learned, how well I endured (if at all), and was I reawakened to being thankful to my Heavenly Father for my bounty of blessings. Not to jinx myself, but I think we are on the downhill slide of a very challenging couple of weeks. Abigail has been running high temps. the last three days and is still quite sick. Today, no fevers per say! That was a blessing! My knee, you should see me moving around! I know that the Lord has blessed my leg with rapid healing! I feel so blessed that I am moving faster and having to ice less. I am so grateful that no ligaments were damaged, so grateful for a great husband, supportive family and friends. It is the quiet time at night where I can stop and reflect how truly blessed I am and that trials only wake you back up to your life and the wonderful things in it.
I wanted to thank all of you for writing and wishing me well. It brings such a smile to my face and warms my heart. Being emotionally pregnant.........it even makes my eyes water. (Side note: anyone see biggest loser last night....man I was a mess crying!) I love all of you near and far from me and it is nice to have a connection on the email highways.
I'll make sure to get lots of pics this weekend as my little one turns 1!!!! Unreal! Isn't being a mom great!
Love to you all!
