A boring life changes that quick

Word has reached my ear that I haven't written nearly enough lately.

Well I got news for you.

I'm an extreamly boring person. I know that this comes as QUITE a shock to most of you, but it's time you learn the ulgy truth. The last time something exciting happend was when...

I have been sitting here for like 5 minutes and all I can come up with is mowing the lawn. I like mowing the lawn. Execpt when it's hot.
or humid.

or hot and humid.

so I don't really like mowing the lawn.

I do like mowing paths in the hay field in the back. We have a three quarter mile path that wonders around the backyard and hayfield surrounding that I like to keep golf green short. Less chance to step on a rattlesnake.

Anyhoo I have tortured some of you long enough. The reason for this post is something super exciting FINALLY did happen last tuesday. My daughter, Abigail Rose, was born. OF COURSE I have taken a bijillion pictures that probably all look the same and have sent out a mass e-mail or two, but now it's time to post at least some of them.

These are all when she was a few minutes born.



She was born 8lbs and 10oz at 22in long.



Everything on her is just so perfect. Of course I'm supposed to think and say that, but even if I didn't even know this kid, I'd totally be like: hey wow that kid is probably the cutest kid I have seen in all my life and I have seen a lot of kids.



Perfect little tiny fingernails



So this is abby.




It's been quite a week. We aren't the same people now. You might ask what's different.

I can't say that Abby is because she is the cause of the difference. I might be that we have a kid now and have no idea what we are doing or even if we knew what to do, we would know how to go about doing it. It's been hard to trust and have faith with this one because so much is at stake. Anytime I have had to act on faith of my own accord, it never was that hard because it was only me that I was putting in HIS hands. Whenever I had to act on faith and the direct outcome of my faith effected someone else it was always a little harder.

But now this

Now everything she is depends on us. Depends on upbringing. Depends on good decsion making. Dependes on the upmost faith and trust that the answer will come when we don't have one. What to do when she needs us to do whatever it is we're supposed to do.

I am the Head of this household. If my trust falters, if my faith waivers, my family will suffer.

GOD give me strenght to do this.

and he does.

and by HIS grace we continue on.



now if He could just give her grace to sleep in the night and not the day, we will be all set.
