Baby's First Christmas

Wow this is late.

Christmas was a hit with Abby. She was all about the people and presents. She loved taking the tissue paper out of the bag and ended up opening up some other people gifts. haha

Life changing

Well I haven't posted this yet because we have been processing it all. Bob lost his job on Friday. This is the straw that broke the camel's back. After being on maternity leave, then losing my job in Oct. then getting it back part time we have been living paycheck to paycheck. Now, with out Bob's job and his income we will have to move out of our house. We can't afford the rent and really need to save and pay off credit cards and student loans. This requires us to live with somebody in my family. Who I don't know. It is so hard on both parties to live with somebody. I love my family and am grateful that they are offering for us to live with them but well it is just so hard. I like living here with my husband, daughter, cat, and dogs. *sigh* Putting my trust in God that he will open a window.

creeping crud

Well my poor baby has Croup. She woke up Sunday with a barking cough and just all around feeling crummy. Any time she cried or coughed she sounded like a seal. :( We spent the day inside taking naps and putting up Christmas lights outside. Today she is on the mends. Thankfully she didn't get it too bad and her Pedi says we are doing all the right things and just to keep it up. *Sigh* I hate seeing my baby sick.

Our Thanksgiving Week

Well I know this is a week late but I wanted to tell you about Abigail's 1st Thanksgiving. I had the whole week off and it was a busy one. Monday we went and played with Kira and Sarah. Abigail had a great time eating trains, playing with her cool new toy Kira passed down to her, and over all just being cute. Sarah took some really good pictures of her also.

Tuesday we went up to work for the Thanksgiving feast. Can't pass up good food. Haha. Of course Abby enjoyed being the center of attention since Ridley was at home with his mama.

Wednesday was a very busy day. I really needed to get the house cleaned. Nobody was really coming over to the house but it desperately needed to be done and I can't seem to get it done with 2 babies here. So Abigail went to play with her Great-aunt Patty while Mommy furiously cleaned. She was gone for 3hrs and she took a 2hr nap at home and still the house was not totally done but mostly. Ah, what can you do?

Thursday, Turkey Day. Grammy came over early to start cooking her potatoes and to help me cook green bean casserole, yummy. Thankfully Abigail napped while we cooked and she woke up just in time to head over to Jessica & Cliff's house to chow down. Even Abby got a little taste of Thanksgiving. She had mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, and of course her mommy's green bean casserole. She loved all of it! After stuffing our faces with all the wonderful food most parked themselves in front of the TV to watch the football game. Bob, Abby, and I went out and jumped on the trampoline (not the best idea after eating a ton of food) but it was fun. After the feast Grammy went with us to Wal-mart to do a little Christmas shopping. She found Abby a singing raindeer stocking and a singing Santa. Abby adores both, mommy could do with out them but it makes her laugh so they are here to stay. Grammy spent the night, Abby didn't want to go to sleep because she might miss something, and we watched a movie, "The Happening." Weird movie.






Friday Abby woke us up bright and early at 7am. Thankfully Daddy played with her for an hour so I could get a little more sleep, I love that Daddy. Once every one was up and running Grammy and I went and did a little more Christmas shopping and Daddy babysat. After hitting the stores we were off to Nana Ringo's house for our 2nd feast.

Saturday we went over to the other Grandparents house and Abby got to spend some good quality time with her El Paso Grandma. She doesn't come into town often enough so it was good to visit. Then it was off to Emma Francis' 5th birthday party. I really can't believe she is already 5! Oh yeah, we also put up our Christmas tree.

Sunday we did some Christmas shopping for the Grandparents and went and had dinner with Bob's parents. Abigail got to check out the tree and promptly crawled under it. Silly baby girl!








Phew, that was a busy week!
