On Saturday Abby woke up with a bunch of new-found confidence. She decided to take the whole walking thing seriously and began toddling everywhere instead of crawling. She also decided to use the babysign for "eat" and has been saying "Mama" like crazy (I have been waiting for this for so long it seems!). She even pointed to her nose when Mommy asked where Abby's was! So cute! Here are a few pictures from our eventful weekend.

WoW! that sucks. when was he given that time frame? I can't even imagine. although the greiving is different, i dont think the depths of it are any worse or better. grieving the loss of someone you knew, (or will "have known")remembering things about them that you miss. having to explain to your kids what grandpa was like because they probably wont remember. That will be so difficult. I am so afraid of losing one or both of my parents while we are overseas. I hope that God has met you and you have felt his comfort in the midst of this. I think the best advice that I havebeen given is let the emotions come and run their full course. It makes life feel like a roller coaster, especially with being needed by little ones so frequently. But its in the moments of imense sadness, confusion, and greif that I give in to, and dont stuff them, deny them or pretend that its fine, that I find the most healing. just and idea for the your kisd in the future, have your dad tape or dvd record him reading different books to them, even ones they might want to read when they are older. so when he is gone they can sit and look through books and read along, hearing his voice. It might be special. i want to do this with my kids fopr when we are gone, so that they feel closer and more connected to them. anyways... thanks for writing me. i will be thinking of you.
