Happy New Year!! As I said in the last post, to save some cash, we opted to fly home EARLY New Years morning. It was a LONG traveling day, and luckily Abby handled it really well.
We had some sad news, however, when we went in for our first Dr.s appointment and found that our joyfully anticipated 2nd baby's heart had stopped beating at 7 weeks. It was a really hard time for us. Fortunately we knew to lean on the Lord and each other, and we had great support from family and friends. I'm just so grateful for having the Gospel in our lives.
Otherwise, Nate jumped back into his full-time schedule of classes, counseling clients, and teaching, and Abby and I got back into our routine as well. She's been accelerating like crazy with speaking, coloring, running, and recognizing things in random places (like saying "broccoli" at the store when she saw a picture of it on a ziploc box). It's so fun. I'm so grateful that I get to be home with her - she's a loving, hilarious, creative, and kind child, and we feel so blessed to call her ours :)




Nate had MLK Jr. Day off, so we got out of town to spend the day at the Boardwalk in Shreveport. It's always a fun getaway :)


Our sweet little fairy.

Abby was a big helper with taking down the Christmas decorations, and made a great little tree herself :)

Poor Nate. He can only take (avg) 5 hours of sleep a night for so long. This was one of his "quick naps" at 11 pm. We appreciate all his hard work and can't wait for the program to end to get him 'back'!!!


She's so fast nowadays, that most of our pics are of her in action :)



We got her a baby bottle, and as you can see, she fed her baby WELL. It was so fun to watch her mothering skills, lol :)

Our leaks. The joys of living in an older home. SO glad we're renting and can just call the landlord!!

Abby and one of her best friends, Brenna :)
