A Week in the Life of Abby

This last week has been kinda crazy, so here is my very belated post! Tuesday and Thursday Abby had physical therapy. Saturday was the Estis Family Christmas. And we also were visited by Uncle Jason, Paw-Paw Freddy, Maw-Maw Sonja, and the Summerville family (all on different days). We have more pictures coming to add on this post, but this will do for now:0)

A visit from the Summervilles! Amy Summerville was our social worker who did the home study for Abby's adoption. She has been the sweetest friend to us and has continued to keep up with Abby's adoption even though they moved to Florida this past summer. Amy and her husband Demetrius and their children Jayden and Journey came for a visit Tuesday.



Jayden and Abby playing together. Jayden was the perfect little gentleman and Abby enjoyed his company.




Here is Amy and her precious little doll, Journey. We were both expecting our babies at the same time!




A proud Daddy, Demetrius, with Journey. Don't they look just alike!




And here is a closeup of a handsome Jayden. He even let Abby have part of the cookie he dropped without any complaint....what a sweetie!





Amy and Jawanna. Thank you, Amy, for all of the support, prayers, and your friendship. We love you!

Thursday Abby had some emotional difficulties at physical therapy, so Mrs. Cheryl decided to just have some fun with her. She hooked up a really cool swing and took Abby for a ride...can you tell it worked?! Way to go, Mrs. Cheryl!




Here's a cute picture from Friday....Michael tried to change Abby's diaper but Smitty was in the way and wouldn't move from the blanket. So Michael just laid Abby's legs over him. Ha! No way was he giving up his spot! He finally did jump down, but with much resentment.

Saturday night was the Estis Family Christmas hosted by Aunt Linda and Uncle Terry. We enjoyed a wonderful meal together and lots of good fellowship. The house was quite full as the Estis Great Grandparents had 8 children, about 35 grandchildren, and we've lost count of how many great-grandchildren! This year we were blessed to add another baby to the mix.




Abby and Great-Grandma Estis, who is 90 years old and still as beautiful as ever.




Abby's mommy stealing a moment with her....she was passed around quite a bit!

Hi sweet family, I just want you to know that I still follow your blog with excitement. Today I had a fun day at Children's Hospital and thought of Abby. I also come from a large and loving family. I send all my love to you and know Christmas will be best you have ever spent in your life because you now have Abby to spend it with. I hope to bump into you all sometime.

Love to you all,
