Every Morning

Abbie is an early riser,  AND a cheerful morning person.  Those who know Mommy well understand that she ISN'T either of those things...  however I have to say that seeing this sweet face of pure joy first thing makes it more than worth it...

Flowers

Our flowers,  especially the roses,  are so beautiful this year!  I hope you enjoy your armchair tour :)

Wide Eyed Wonder

One of the million plus things I love about Abbie is her innocent wonder in everything.  Looking up into the mobile on her swing is no exception.  You can almost HEAR her thinking how cool it is! :)

Cooing at Birds

Abbie loves the mobile on the baby gym,  especially the little birds that go around.  First thing in the morning,  I put her under there while I make her bottle and she just starts cooing and talking to it!

Pictures

Photo

I forgot to post this earlier... it's a blooper from her 2 month old photos...  makes me laugh every single time!! :-)

Don't mess with me!!! :)
The joke has always been that from birth,  her little hands are up around her face in fists.  The facial expression with that just makes this hilarious in my opinion!!!

Our Meeting

For a long time now,  Jason has been wanting to get a picture of all the folks in our Sunday Morning Meeting.  This past Sunday,  all were there and we were able to use a camera with a self timer (Thanks,  Jennie!) to get this photo of everyone.

Dave Shafer,  George Davis,  Susan Greider,  Don Eisle,  Ginger Meadows,  Scott Meadows,  John Meadows,  Jason Dirks,  Betsy Dirks,  Abigail Dirks
Jennie Shafer,  Brucie Parks,  Thelma Davis,  Lois VaSlavic

Not sure that I got everyone's names spelled right,  but that's all of us!!! :-)

Poppy and 1st Tractor Ride

Tim came down to help till the garden and to help Jason get a few other things done around here.  Of course he had to get some snuggles in with Abbie!!!

Snuggles with Poppy

And today she had her first tractor ride.  Daddy is training his little girl right,  because her first ride was on a John Deere!

New Shed

Our old shed was  past the point of being fixed.  Jason burned the old one on Monday,  and we had a new one delivered on Tuesday.  It looks so much better!!!!

New Toy

Yesterday when I was at a yard sale,  I found a kick gym for Abbie to play with.  It's a little faded,  but she still loves it!!!  Here are a few videos... she hasn't quite "got it" that kicking it will make it run so right now her favorite setting is just where it plays music and lights up so she can just watch it! :-)

Mother's Day Pictures

Abbie and I on our first Mother's Day together!
Can't decide whether I like sepia,  black and white,  or color better with this picture....

Giggles (sorta)

Abbie has been smiling awhile now,  and is starting to laugh and coo...  I've been trying to get it on a video,  but it's hard to catch!!!  Finally,  this one gets close :-)
