Abigail Aloha Born 6:35 a.m., Sunday, May 9
6 lbs 13 oz, 21.5 inches long
The first picture of Abby was taken the day after she was born. The second one is when I was at Megan's and she was a few days old. She is so beautiful and so sweet. Abby is so long for a newborn--at least one that weighs what she does. The next time I see her she will have fattened up and have those cute baby rolls.It is getting harder and harder to have the kids and grandkids be so far from home (home being wherever I am living at the moment). With everyone living in a different direction now, we will be lucky to see everyone once a year. I think everyone should come to my house every Sunday for dinner and I wish I could stop by and pick up a grandchild or play with them while their mom takes a nap for a little while. This is one part of my life that is so different than I imagined or hoped.
For being so anxious to get home and get things done, I have accomplished very little. When I left in March to go to Molly's, South Dakota was still covered in snow. When I came back it was all gone. When I left to go to Rosie's, the trees didn't have any leaves. I came back to green lawns, trees fully leafed out, and lots of green growing things. I haven't been to church in my own branch since early March. If anyone even remembers me, they probably think I am now inactive. I drove almost 3,000 miles (by myself). It is nice to be home!

You have had so much happen in the last few months. What a fun time for you. I read your blog and feel like I somewhat know what is going on, but it has been way too long since we chatted. I miss you guys!
I'm glad you get to be home for awhile! I wish we all lived close enough to get together for Sunday dinners, too!
What a precious doll. So fun! I can't believe my little doll, Jade will be 1 year old tomorrow. Time sure does fly. That does seem hard to have everyone scattered. maybe someday you will all be closer. My family is starting to spread out too. It is a sad thing, but a necessary part of life, I suppose.
