Murfreesboro Momma: Friday Funnies

http://thegivensfamilyintn.blogspot.com/2011/07/friday-funnies_22.html

Friday, July 22, 2011. Abby was serving me "pretend" drinks, which is usually milk or juice. This time, however, was different. Me: Oh thank you Abby! What did you bring me? Heading into the car one morning…. N: When I come outside and it’s hot, my brain feels crumpled up. Me: Why’s that? N: It’s from the sun. It has bad vitamins in it. After putting on his new pirate costume…. Nanny: Nate, what’s your pirate name? Abby is soooo in trouble! Me: What did she do? As I see her hiding behind the coffee table).

Murfreesboro Momma: September 2010

http://thegivensfamilyintn.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html

Wednesday, September 29, 2010. After picking up Nate at MDO yesterday, we met some friends at the park since the weather was so beautiful! Nate had a ball, playing with old friends and making new ones. And after Abby had her bottle and food, she was ready to play! She tore up the playground (and her new leggings) and even tried to munch on a small rock or two. It's so neat to see the kids play together, and the look of sheer joy on Abby's face when she feels like she's "hanging out with the big kids!

Schumacher Family Adoption Journey. Our journey to our son in Ethiopia and our return home as a new family of 6. Saturday, June 20, 2009. So my pretty little girl got her very own "pretties" this week. My rule was when she was old enough to make her own decision, she could get her ears pierced. Well, I think she had been telling me for awhile she was old enough to make her own decision. She kept playing with everyone's earrings! As you are all wondering, I'm sure. Nope, no cries!
