Snow

So this is about a month late!!! We had about two inches of snow and Abby had a blast. We can't wait for it to snow again.

Christmas and more

We had a great christmas! My Mom and brother got here on Saturday and left Wednesday. We had our neighbors and our waitress from our favorite place to eat over for dinner on christmas eve. we had a low key christmas brunch. I had the best time having my family here. I miss them very much when they leave. Abby had the best time opening her gifts and playing with all her stuff. I think she was a little overwhelmed by everything.

On christmas day Abby got the stomach virus..then I got it wednesday..then guy got it friday. We were all under the weather until late sunday afternoon. I HATE THE STOMACH VIRUS!!!!!

Sunday morning Abby punched me on my bare eye and I got a corneal abrasion.. LOTS OF FUN. I felt like I had ten eyelashes in my eye and i couldn't get them out. I could not open my eye until late last night. I am putting antibiotics in my eye and taking pain medication. I hate pain medication! I didn't take anything after I had Abby....so let me tell you this really really hurts. The opthomologist said it should get alot better in next day or so. By the way Abby did not mean to hit me and was very upset. she kept saying moma ok, i sorry, give hug. It was very cute and made me feel so much better.

I hope everyone has a great new years!!

Cooking

Move over Martha Stewart! Abby loves to cook anything she can. She has become such a big helper in the kitchen.

Decorating the tree

The tree

We went with our neighbors about an hour away to cut down a tree on saturday morning. It was like 30 degrees out and the wind was making it so so cold. Abby had so much fun. I really had to keep my eye on her or she would have been gone.

Jackson

We had a great trip to jackson. Guy was so so busy with all the interviews. We went to tupelo on Monday and got back tuesday. My mom got the stomach virus so we had to take abby with us. She was so good the entire time. I have a friend who just moved back to tupelo and she came and stayed with abby in the hotel monday night so we could go out to eat with the other doctors and their wives. We had to rush back tuesday and guy had drinks with a guy from baptist at shimmels. On wednesday he met all the guys from baptist. He also talked with the chairman of urology at umc. thursday he went to oxford to meet the urologist there. Needless to say he was very busy and got a ton of info about a job. He just found out this past wednesday that he was accepted by the airforce to do the sponsored fellowship if he so desires. I can't imagine having that kind os stress. I can't believe he doesn't have an ulcer. I think all of this is weighing very heavy on him. Anyway that is the story of the job front. Please keep guy in your prayers he has a lot on his plate.

THe BIrds

We went out to the resevoir to feed the birds. Abby thought it was just so funny.

Thanksgiving and more

We had a great time over Thanksgiving. Guys parents came into town on Wednesday and our friends Brian, Courtney and their daughter Gianna came over for Dinner. Courtney came over Wednesday morning to help me cook which was great!!

We decorated the house for christmas on Friday. I got plenty of stuff this year since we will be here. Abby loves the light outside. I just love the feeling of christmas. It really is magical. My Mom and brother will be coming this year.

We will be going to Jackson on Saturday so Guy can go on some job interviews. I am really excited and I know Guy is really nervous. Cross your fingers everything goes well. I would really like to move closer home if the job is right. My Mom will be keeping Abby Monday night and Tuesday. This is the first time she will be left with anyone over night. She has some bad seperation anxiety so I am a little nervous. I keep telling myself she wont cry the entire time.
Anyway I can't wait to see everyone in Jackson. I really feel like some great opportunities are going to come from this trip.

halloween

Sorry for the delay.... Abby was a puppy dog for halloween. She had a blast!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Abby was very good at helping with the Turkey.

Pictures from Thanksgiving

Do you think she has enough food on her plate?? She wouldn't eat any of it so our dog got a nice dinner.

Daddy and Abby

Abby is in love with Guy. Whatever he is doing she wants to do it with him. She will follow him all over the house.

Update

I promise to do a better job on posting pictures!!

When we got back from jackson we started thinking about Guy's fellowship and other job opportunities. I will make this short-We are going to come to jackson the first week in December and he is going to interview with a group in tupelo, one in oxford, and talk with a guy at a private practice in jackson. He is also still interested in the job at the V.A. There are plenty of hard choices to make. I really like the idea of tupelo. This practice seems very nice and they seem really interested in Guy. I know it is about three hours from jackson, but i figure it is alot closer than where i am know. I can get in the car any time i want and come home. he still has to decide whether or not to take the fellowship. I think these interviews will help him make up his mind what is best for him and for our family. This is a big weight on our shoulders!!! I am just sitting back and trying to be patient and trust that whatever path we are supposed to go down that is what will happen.

On a second note...I am really enjoying church! I met a lady who used to be involved in the mothers program(which they dont have anymore). She sent out an email to all the moms at church about my situation. I got plenty of emails and some phone calls. Everybody had gone through what i am going through. I got plenty of suggestions and playgroup ideas. I have abby on plenty of waiting lists and we will see what happens. I am going to dinner with a group of moms at church. I am hoping i can make some new friends.

Jackson

My sweet baby!!

We got to see some friends and hang out at the park.

My mom would eat cheerios in the morning and Abby would attack her to get some. Every morning my mom would have to share her food with abby. by the way...this is after she had already had her food.

We were lucky enough to be in jackson during the fair. Abby had a blast at the petting zoo and she thought the pny was so cool!

Abby and my brother Matt. She loves my brother!!! He came down from memphis for the first weekend we were in jackson. Abby would find this picture of matt and say matt matt and give the picture a kiss.... it was very sweet.
