Well, Saturday I decided to get all of my hair cut off short. So while I was getting my hair cut, Abby just kept saying she wanted her hair cut too like Mommy. So I asked the lady to trim Abby's hair but daddy wanted her hair in a bob. I have to say that I just about cried when the first cut was made. But it does look very cute and most of all, Abby absolutely LOVES it. It is so much easier to wash, dry and fix now. Don't know if I will keep it short but it is cute for now.
Don't you just LOVE the fake smile here. She was trying to be cheezy.
She had just about had enough of all the pictures. Leave your comments about the new-do and tell me what you think about it.
She is so funny all the time. Just silly!!
THE GET AWAY!!!! LOL

We had Vacation Bible School at church last week. Abby had such a great time but we were all very TIRED!!!
She is sitting and being such a good girl playing all those fun games.
She loves books and animals....so this was right up her alley.

For some strange reason lately it seems Abby only wants to play with her kitchen is when we are getting ready to go to church. I don't know why. She is just strange like that.
My baby girl isn't such a baby anymore. I get so sad when I see how much she is growing and doing. I know that have to grow up, it just seems like she has grown to much over night.
She was singing....enough said!!
I asked her for a hug......do you think she was happy to give me one. I love the angel baby with all my heart and soul.
She is saying Thank you and good night. Not really but it looks like she is. LOL!!!

Have a great week!!

Just look at this beautiful baby girl.
We were getting ready to go out and eat. Notice the purse on her shoulder. She is just like me already.
Million dollar smile.

She was tired of smiling for the camera. I also believe she was watching Diego on tv and I was getting in her way.

I want to say a shout out and a HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my dear friend LISA. Happy Birthday Girlie. Hope you had a great day. Well, Abby is letting me take some pictures of her. She is being very funny these days about letting me take pictures.
She is saying CHEEZE!!!
It is still hard for me to believe that God gave me such a wonderful gift. I thank Him everyday for allowing me to be Abby's mommy.

She was helping me cook breakfast. See her shopping cart...it has her cooking utensils and pots. And she brought me the camera and said "Mommy, cheese"
Don't quite know what she was doing here but I know we were having lots of fun..whatever it was. Never a dull moment with Abby around.

Abby and I just having a good time hanging out this morning.
I could just squeeze her up....oh wait, I do that all the time.
She had about enough of picture taking. She was trying to get off the rocker.
She said no more Mommy meaning she was getting tired of the camera.
So this is the last picture I could get her to smile for. We are getting ready to go shopping. Have a great weekend.

Abby has not been letting me take any pictures of her lately. This morning she actually said ok when I asked if I could take some pictures of her. In this picture she is showing that her PICC line is gone and don't she look so very happy about that!!
She was just being so silly for me this morning. I am so lucky to be a mommy to this wonderful child. I can say that right now because she is being so good. She has been going through some tantrums and things lately but I am still so blessed to be her mommy.
She was trying to rock this chair but she is so little and this chair is very heavy but she got it to rock some.
This was one of those days that she didn't want her picture taken at all! I hope this is just a phase because I love taking her picture. That is why it is taking me so long to post pictures because when I get out the camera she throws a tantrums and start crying. I don't understand children some times.
She stood there for about a second for me to take this picture but she was not happy about it as you can tell.

I want to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers over the last several weeks. She is doing much better now and now that the PICC line is out we all will be doing much better. Mommy was tired of messing with that stupid thing but it seemed to do the trick.

On a much sadder note, I told everyone that Billy and I were adopting again but it seems that God had other plans for us. I have some medical issues that are causing some problems with the adoption agency so we feel it may just be not in God's will for us right now. We had already bought many things for him just hoping that things would work out and we had to return them all last weekend. It was a tough decision but we are still so thankful and blessed to have the most wonderful daughter in the world. I may be a little partial though. Please continue to pray for us that we get through this. Our belief in God is very strong so we know He does all things for a reason but we may not know what it is just yet. We went through this same thing last year with not making the 12/31/07 deadline in Guatemala and having to stop that adoption. I think two times is enough so no adoption plans anytime in the future for us....unless God chooses otherwise. Thanks so much!!!

Love in Christ,
Pam

If you look close at this picture, you will see that Abby got her PICC line out of her arm today!! YEAH! She took her first real bath in three weeks. I bet she will sleep so good tonight having a good warm bath and not having that thing sticking her in the arm.
She is so tired but don't want to go to bed yet. She had a rough time when that nurse was taking out her PICC line. Abby was crying, kicking, and really having a difficult time. I am so thankful all that is behind us and Abby is doing quite well. Her nose seems to be cleared up at least for the moment. Let's pray that it lasts a little while.
She didn't want me taking any pictures of her or her arm so I caught her off guard while she was watching her new Dora movie.
I love this baby girl with all my heart. I am just glad that after 3 weeks maybe she can play normal and have a good time.
She finally let me take a picture of her Dora bandaid. I sure wished I owned some Dora stock as much as we spend buying all the stuff.

Abby is now in a big girl twin bed. I can't believe how much she has grown. I don't have a baby anymore. It makes me so sad to think about her growing up so fast.
This was the first bed set we bought but Abby wanted Dora and it didn't match her rug that is in her room anyway. Plus, she usually gets what she wants....within reason!!
She loves her new big girl DORA bed!!!
