A Cuppa Tea?

Abby got a princess tea set for her birthday and now everyone who comes to our house is the lucky winner of a cup of tea! She gets to decide who gets the Jasmine cup, however. Just in case you forget who thinks she's in charge. Here is Red (who's looking very enthused, isn't he?), Monkey and Abby having tea on the "sea-ment!" on a blanket just outside the back door.



Ford is just about to outgrow those newborn outfits. What? He just got here! This is what everyone warned me about with Abby -- don't waste your time on too many tiny outfits. They are only in them for a few weeks. Of course, Abby was in her tiny clothes for months. And months.

As I was attempting to hit the store this week with both kids (i did it!) I found myself wondering for the zillionth time, why things were so hard with Abby. Ford seems so easy --sleeps so much, eats well...and then I remember. Oh, right. The heart problem. The eating every 2 hours. The screaming during feedings. And on and on. It's amazing to me that I actually forget the reason things were so tough with her. Praise God that that those memories are fading. Hopefully the lessons I learned in the midst of it all remain -- that God is God, I am not...and He is to be praised in our toughest hour.
