Annabel is sleeping now, recovering from all the fun she had with Meemaw while she visited us. We also had Pa to visit just after Christmas. I am so thankful my parents are willing to make the long journey here to see us, especially now because it is so important to Annabel.
Things have been very busy here and the days are finally getting lighter – yeah spring is on its way! But not til after some more snow apparently this week. I hear it is lovely and warm in Phoenix and am very jealous. We have a camping trip planned for June and I am already praying for warm and dry weather, because you never can tell here.
We are also going through another transition with Annabel as she is starting to take bottles now and pretty soon I will be done nursing her. I didn’t realize how difficult I would find this. In one sense I am very excited for a little bit of freedom, our church has a women’s retreat this weekend and I am very much looking forward to going on my own – first time in almost 8 months. But also a little sad, time seems to have gone so fast and I can’t believe she is almost 8 months old. It is silly really, but it is a lovely feeling to be needed and I am so thankful to have been able to provide the milk she has needed til now. I still find it amazing how God has created us this way. I know I will enjoy the weekend, but I will miss this sweet little girl!
It looks like your parents had a great time with Annabel! She is such a sweetie. I can’t believe how big she’s gotten already!
We are so thankful that you & Rob allow us to come so often! Thank you for such a sweet, precious granddaughter.
We are so lucky to both have such a great set of parents! Our kids are lucky to have them too!
