From Illinois to Ohio

Thanks to Team Records for making my last day a great one!

the wonderful decorations on my desk

Luane Duda came back to see me

Donna, Angi, and Lona

Our time to move has now come and gone, but I wanted to share some memories. Here are some cute shots of Abigail during the packing process (she was in her crib playing a lot while our house was in chaos).



It didn't seem to bother her until the last few days when everything was busy and she kept being moved from room to room. Thankfully, there were lots of people to keep her entertained.

Since Michael graduated from Trinity we had to get out of our Apt on campus. We decided to move away from the Chicago Area to be closer to family and to be in a more cost effective area. When we move to Ohio we will stay with my family for a few days, visit Michael's family in Maryland for a week, and then move into a temporary home Aug 1st until we know more about Michael's job plan. Basically, we don't know when and where we will be in ministry, Michael plans to keep his job with Amplivox doing web design, and I get to stay home with Abigail. If you want more details, just let me know.

Happy Independence Day!

She was in such a good mood, making for lots of great pictures. Hope you all had a good 4th of July celebration as well!!

She was so good for the fireworks, shortly after all these cute smiles she fell asleep, stired some from the loud booming, but slept through and we got to enjoy the time. She sure seems unsure of what's going on in this picture though. Michael cracked up for a few minutes when he saw this for the first time. When I asked what was so funny, he said, "just her expression."

This was one morning, she was enjoying playing with her blanket and I couldn't help but snap a few pics of her cuteness.

Abigail is 5 Months Old

My mom and dad still take me everywhere, mostly against my will! I saw these neat yellow things called flowers, I'm not sure what they are for.
I'll tell you a thing or two...but you have to come see me.
Look how hard I'm trying to sit up!
I love to stare at Daddy, really, it's one of my favorite past times.
Awe, Daddy's kissing me!!!
Guess what?!? I found my tounge!
We were both exhausted from playing hard, so we had a little rest together.
Look at my cool Bumbo seat, other babies are jealous, hee hee.

Mommy and Daddy read lots of stories to me, I pretend to pay attention.

I have to eat everything in sight, this poor elaphant had no idea what was coming! I love to eat my toes too!! Yummy!!
Grandpa tries to teach me how to play with my lips, but I'm not sure how to yet.
We did enjoy holding hands though.

Think I have plenty of toys? Grandma spoils me already!

I am learning the piano early, just call me Mozette.

Can I play this with my head?

Here comes the rice cereal, not so bad at first.

I'm not so sure about it anymore.

DONE, I'm done I say!

Look at me, I'm SUPER BABY!!!

It was such a great time to see everyone. Thanks Uncle Clay and Aunt Laura for hosting us all, you have such a lovely place! Hope to see you all again soon.
