The Gentle Giant: Where Does It Go?

http://abbythegentlegiant.blogspot.com/2010/04/where-does-it-go.html

Thursday, April 15, 2010. Where Does It Go? Time just seems to be flying by. Now that I'm working full-time and going to school,. I barely have time to breathe. I work all day, water the plants in our new greenhouse (! I push the kids on the swings for 10 minutes and call that playtime,. Because now it's time to make dinner, give baths, clean the kitchen,. Brush teeth, read books, turn out lights,. Head downstairs to put away some laundry, make a card, and do some homework. I know this is nothing new.

The Gentle Giant: November 2010

http://abbythegentlegiant.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html

Monday, November 8, 2010. Her sentences roll off her tongue like water. She looks deep into my eyes and smiles and laughs. Maybe They are wrong. Maybe we’re all overreacting. Then I read some list. In some magazine or book. Telling me what she should do. Who she should be. Its intent is to educate. But to me, it’s a prison sentence. I hear two children playing pretend. I’m the mommy and you’re the daddy,. Because she is too literal, too precise. She is wrapped up in her own logic. When the wind howls.

The Gentle Giant: Mama's Got a New Job.

http://abbythegentlegiant.blogspot.com/2010/03/mamas-got-new-job.html

Saturday, March 13, 2010. Mama's Got a New Job. All of these photos are from my D.C. trip. I spent a full week in Washington D.C. training for my new job and it was a really fun week, except that I missed my family terribly. I left on a Sunday night and on that following Tuesday night when I was talking to Keenan he said, "Good night! See you tomorrow." And it broke my heart! Speaking of Skype. Dani. Maybe we should set up a Skype playdate for Abby and your Little Bird. What do you think? My name is Erin.

The Gentle Giant: Abby's Quotes of the Week

http://abbythegentlegiant.blogspot.com/2010/04/abbys-quotes-of-week.html

Wednesday, April 7, 2010. Abby's Quotes of the Week. Abby's language skills continue to progress beautifully. Here's a few Abby quotes that made me crack up! I'm sitting at the dining table working on the computer as usual, and I look over at Abby who is playing with a plastic Easter egg in the living room. She is smiling with one half of the egg in each hand, scratching the inside with her fingers. I smiled back at her and asked, "Are you playing a little song? And she was spot on! I apologize and if yo...

The Gentle Giant: Tumbling

http://abbythegentlegiant.blogspot.com/2010/02/tumbling.html

Wednesday, February 24, 2010. Abby is just over halfway through her second tumbling class this year. She looks forward to it all week and is all smiles! Here are some photos from family night. Sorry so many of them are blurry. I still haven't really figured out the right setting on my camera for action shots. because apparently it's not the "action" setting. Maybe I should read that book they send along with most technology purchases. I think they call it a manual. Getting some help from the helper.

The Gentle Giant: Holiday Card Project

http://abbythegentlegiant.blogspot.com/2010/02/holiday-card-project.html

Wednesday, February 17, 2010. In case you haven't noticed, I've added a section in the sidebar titled "My Holiday Card Project". Where I am keeping you updated (and me organized) about how many cards I have done for the project. This card is so cute in person. Each tree is separate, so there is some real depth to the card. 2 different cards used to create this one.). And then sell them online, probably at Etsy, and maybe also do some of the local church bazaars or a local card shop. My name is Erin.
