Family Update

The last few weeks have been kinda crazy around here! Kyle had the privilege to spend the last two Sunday's leading worship for a friend's church while their worship leader was out. He really enjoyed it and the church was so sweet and supportive of us!

Here he is, practicing before the service. Abigail enjoyed sitting on the floor in front of the stage and watching her Daddy. She loves when he plays his guitar and sings!

Our favorite Farmer's Market opened a couple Saturday's ago and we enjoyed going and scoping out the various vendors for this year. It was a tad chilly but so much fun to get out together as a family!

Abigail is making a funny face in this picture! haha... but she was enjoying watching all the people at the Farmer's Market.

Abigail has been teething along with having a little bit of a cold (I think), with a runny nose, congestion, and a cough from all the drainage. I'm not sure how much is from her teething and how much is a cold, but either way, she's had a rough time breathing the past week but she is finally getting better. Yay!

I've been struggling with an infection for a while now and on top of that had another round of mastitis last week, with fever for a couple days and being on the couch or and bed for about 3 days. :-( Thankfully Kyle has a wonderful boss who let him stay home one day to help me with Abigail so I could rest to try to knock the crazy fever. I've been to two other doctors this week trying to determine the cause of the original infection  but the vote it still out to determine what is going on. Lord willing we will have answers soon. The doctor is thinking now that what we thought was an infection may actually be an allergic reaction or some form of dermatitis.

On a lighter note, after Abigail and I had both been sick last week, we got out one night and took Abigail to see the new fountain that Southern put in. She loved watching the water!

Now that most classes are out at Southern for the summer, Kyle's work load is tremendously lighter. It is so fun to go meet him on campus for lunch or to take a walk together in the evenings. We even enjoyed just sitting out on a park bench the other night, watching some guys play soccer, while Abigail took a short little nap in her stroller. By the way, Abigail loves to go on walks and to be outside. She does really well in her stroller, at least for a while. 

This last week I figured out a fun way to keep Abigail occupied for a little while. Now that she loves to sit up, tummy time is definitely not her favorite (although it never really has been) but sometimes she gets tired of sitting up all by herself. So... insert laundry basket! By putting her snuggly flannel blanket from Grammy in it with a few toys, she has a little play area all to herself! She liked it!

I love having Abigail with me all the time! She is my little buddy and I'm so grateful to have a daughter to do things with. She is such a joy and I am blessed to share life with her.
