HAPPY BIRTHDAY ABBY

The Kitchen

Guys parents got abby a kitchen for her birthday. We opened it up early yesterday and she has been in it non stop. She loves loves to cook. This is such an awesome birthday present!!! She will get plenty of use out of it.

Art

This is abby's art from this week. They got to paint with many differnt colors and then use roller brushes. She thought it was so cool.

Things coming this spring

I have been looking forward to the spring with all the things we get to do and birthdays to celebrate! Abby's birthday is the 13th, valentines day, Guy's birthday is the 4th of march, easter, and my birthday is the 3rd of arpil. I love celebrating holidays and birthdays. There is something really cool about celebrating the day someone was born. I remember abby's birthday like it was yesterday. We are going to have a small party with pizza and cake on the 12th. I wanted to get her this elaborate cake but decided on a more simple cake.

Guy's parents are coming in two weeks and we are excited to see them. They got abby this kitchen for her birthday. I think she may pass out when she sees it! My Mom is coming on the 5th of march. I am so excited to see her! I don't know what i would do without my mom. I am hoping the weather is a little warmer so we can do some fun stuff outside.

Guy will be going to jackson soon for an interview. We are going to oxford at the end of april for double decker and for an interview. I have not been back to oxford in eight years. I can't believe it has been that long. My mom is coming with us so we will have some help. I am going to stay in jackson a couple of days after we get back from oxford so i can visit with my sweet friends.

We are trying to plan a trip to disney world in september. I would love anyones advice on things to do. I haven't been to disney world since 3rd grade. I really think abby will have a blast. there is a military hotel we can stay in for cheaper and military gets discounted passes. I think I may be more excited than anybody about this trip!

update

I really dont know why I haven't posted anything. Abby started Art, Music, and Swimming classes this past week. She has been to music twice and really likes the class and the teacher. She has started to come out of her shell in the class. When it is really cold we go to my gym in the afternoon for free play. She will hang from the bars for minutes at a time. SHe has zero fear of trying new things. She is always talking and laughing and we are always entertained.

Guy has some second interviews coming upin the next couple of months. He has some really hard decisions to make. Out of all of his options I would be happy with any path he chooses. I am really glad to be at this point. I will kepp everyone updated.

I promise to post more often.

Art

Abby started Art class this past week and this is what she made. She shows everybody who comes in our house. SHe is very proud of herself.

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!!

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.
