Recap

Here is a quick recap of our crazy lives the past few weeks in bullet points and pictures!

  • Abigail is growing like a weed! She is 18 months old, going on fourteen.


  • Chad graduated with his Master of Divinity degree from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. Go Daddy! He opted out of walking at graduation and instead had a celebration with family to mark the occasion. Sadly, this is one of the only pictures I took the entire weekend family was here in Jackson. It's of Abigail and Joshua looking over Coach and Nana's fence at their neighbor's dog. I'd like to issue a public apology to Coach and Nana's neighbors on behalf of Joshua and Abigail. They are sorry for tormenting your dog that weekend. They are slightly obsessed with "woof woofs."

  • We've moved.....again. All glory to God for selling our house in Birmingham and blessing us with the perfect home for our family in Brandon. Coach and Nana deserve an award (not to mention some peace and quiet) for letting us live with them for the last six months. Wow, they made our transition to Mississippi so smooth. We closed on both houses and moved our belongings the last week of May (major reason for the lack of blog posts recently).

  • Our new house has a great back yard that came with a sandbox! This is good news and bad. The good news is that the new house came with a sandbox! The bad news is that we can no longer go in the backyard without covering ourselves from head to toe with sand and tracking it in the house. We are learning to be selective about backyard play time.
Abigail was a little unsure of the sand to begin with.
She and Joshua (who was here for Memorial Day weekend) both initially preferred to play outside of the box.

Joshua brought the sand to him,
while Abigail was happy scooping sand without getting messy.
Hesitation with the sand quickly turned into adoration and both jumped right in. Abigail even likes to lay down in it from time to time (makes for a great bath time).
She no longer minds getting messy and is even okay with having sand all over her face,
and in other areas that aren't as comfortable.


  • In other news, Abigail is IN LOVE with her accessories. She is rarely seen these days without a combination of her purse, bracelets (all 15 of them), and sunglasses. We are in BIG TROUBLE!



That's our lives recently in a nutshell. Thanks for stopping by....hugs from Abigail!
