New Look!


Do you like it?  Well we figured new adoption, new look.  We are keeping the name All About Abigail because that's how people search for us online so it's our new business name for all of our shows.  I spent all day yesterday designing a logo just for us and I'm pretty excited about it.  Our new t-shirts will be this design plus our new cards and banners for the shows.  HERE WE GO AGAIN!  This year I'm doing much larger shows then last year like the 3 day show in Clinton!  YIKES!  But once again I am blessed with my friends who are so wonderful to offer their help.  My friend Monica has so nicely volunteered to come to multiple shows to help this fall  Thank you Monica!  Those are the people that you just know God has sent in your life just when you needed help.  God knows I was too stubborn to ask for help on my own.

September is turning into a fast and furious month again!  My goal is to be blogging at least twice a week again.  I turned the big 34!  I loved being 33 because that was the age that Jesus died on the cross for my sins.  Now that I've turned a year older there is a something somber about knowing he himself, the son of God was not able to live as long as I have. 

I used to get freaked out at the idea of getting older but I'm just so blessed, I have two beautiful kids, an amazing husband, incredible friends, a warm home, my health and food on the table every day.  What more could I ask for!  And besides, I feel like I'm 18 still!


First Day of school!!!  Big boy!!!  Nolan could hardly sleep the night before he was SOOO excited for first grade!!  Abigail looks so tiny in her little pj's next to her big brother! 


The first day of school was a little tough last week.  I wasn't quite ready for my big boy to go to school yet.  This is the first year it's a full day at school.  He was SO SO excited about going back.  I love that he gushes over the "love notes" I put in his lunch box each day.  I love that he's so fired up for school and can hardly wait to go, it's just amazing to see my "little" boy grow up so fast.  Feels like yesterday I was putting up the crib.

Abigail has her own adjustments with Nolan going to school, she's used to having him home and playing together all day so she was a little lost the first day.  But she's gotten used to her own routine here with mom and she LOVES being a big helper around the house.  She especially loves to help prepare meals and cook sweets.  As Abigail's language expands we learn more and more about her life in Uganda which is so great for us.  We spend the day working on bonding, I rock her to sleep for her nap and she sleeps the entire two hours on me so I in turn take a nap too!  I love it!  I feel like I only have a few precious months and she will be entering school herself so I want as much time with her right now as I can get!  I don't even remember life before Abigail, it's like she's always been here. 

So here's to a beautiful week with Jesus! 

Blessings,

Heather
