Having fun!

Happy Mother's Day

As it is Mothers Day in Britain today I wanted to say a quick Happy Mothers Day to my Mum and to thank her for all the amazing things she does for my family. She adores Daniel and Abigael and loves spending time with them. She has a kind heart and is willing to help people however she can.

Thank You Mum for all you do for us.

Well, I had a lovely Mothers Day myself. I was able to lie-in while Luke got up with the kids, then Luke made me breakfast in bed and while I enjoyed that, Luke cleaned the house. It was a lovely day spent with my family.

Thank You Luke for a lovely day and thank you to my kids for behaving and making me laugh today (they do that everyday).

Photo Friday

One of the blogs that I follow does a photo themed post each Friday and this week it is Happy. We have to choose one picture that makes us happy.

Well the photo above makes me extremely happy because it shows my two beautiful children and their personalities down to a tee. Daniel is laid back and easy going whereas Abigael is more feisty. As you can see, they both has loads of hair which I am thankful for. But most importantly - they love each other and will protect each other in the future.

Avon Calling

Like the title states - I have started doing Avon this month to bring in a little income. For my American friends maternity leave in Britain lasts a year, we are paid for the first nine months and then the last three months we do not get paid. Well I am now in the three months without getting paid and we really need some extra money. The idea of Avon was good for me as I could do it when Luke came home from work and it would take a few hours a week.

Well the first month was not the best, in fact without my Mum's help taking a book to work with her - I would not have made any money. But I am not giving up - I will continue to work at it and visit more houses this month to see if I can get more business.

Please pray that this will succeed because it will help us with getting through each month.

Abigael is 9 months

Abigael is now 9 months and changing every day. She is currently in the in-between stage between baby and toddler. She is getting more used to other people around and will actually sit with other people for short periods of time.

Abigael is currently around 18 pounds and wearing mostly 3-6 months clothes but also some 6-9 months. She is still little however all of her hair makes her look older. She adores her brother and unless she is having a bad day - she is happy to have him hug and kiss on her. Abigael can now give kisses and loves kissing her daddy more then anyone else. She is clapping and waving. She can also say Dada and Mama.

Abigael loves her food which makes me a little sad as I am only breastfeeding her mainly in the morning and at bedtime. She is a very tidy eater which is completely different from her brother.

Abigael - we are so happy to have you in our lives. Mummy is excited that you are happy to spend time with Daddy as he loves hugging on you. You brighten our days with your little laugh and look forward to you taking your first steps. Good luck to any boy who wants to date you in the future as they will have to get through daddy and your extremely protective brother. We love you very much Abby.

What have you done to my hair Mummy

I just had to cut Abigael's fringe (bangs) as it was getting into her eyes. However before I had the chance to cut to, I had to find a way to keep it out of her eyes as it really annoyed her. I don't think that in the future she will allow me to do it again
