1. Carter is fully recovered from his surgery, is gaining weight back and even has his cute little husky voice back. So glad about that!
2. My sister, Missy, had her baby two weeks ago. She and my mom and Melinda came over to play today. I set up my little newborn photography studio and we did some pics of her. I can't believe how easy going and moldable she was! It was awesome.
3. I think we need to do a mapping session with Abby. It's been about 6 months and I notice that her /s/ sound is not very sharp anymore. But other than that, she's a superstar. She talking so well and I'm AMAZED and her progress and know she's going to keep amazing us for a long time.
4. Speaking of, Abby said the prayer in church on Sunday in front of all the Primary kids. I helped her because she was pretty scared, but she was clear and understandable and she did such a great job. Its a lot to ask a four- year-old to get up in front of everyone and say an intelligble prayer, let alone a child that is DEAF! As I sat her down and walked out of the room my eyes welled up with tears. Her CI/hearing aids are a miracle. SHE is a miracle.
5. Brian hasn't been traveling for a couple of weeks now and hopefully will be in town for a great portion of the summer. He's been traveling since we've been married, so I guess you could say its old hat. But its not home without him home.
6. Brian got called to be Elder's Quorum President in our ward and so that will keep him very busy. But its a big calling and I'm proud of him for being worthy and willing to accept the assignment.
7. Our dryer went kaput two weeks ago so we bought a new set. We got dem new front loading contraptions and I think I'm in love, although it has been an adjustment! We stack them on top of eachother and we're going to build a little workstation in the area beside it so hopefully it will improve my laundry workflow. Because laundry seems to consume my life. I don't know how you people with 4+ kids do it.
8. It's midnight and I'm going to bed.

I'm glad Carter is doing better. I didn't realize what the recovery was like.
Mom just made us all do our own laundry, starting when we were like 8. :/
Well my eyes just welled up with tears when I read about Abby saying a prayer... you have opened my eyes to the CI and I think it is a miracle too!
The rest sounds like fun too. :-)
Abby did such a great job on her prayer! I thought the same thing..."Wow! She has come a long way!" :)
Ok...i'm excited about Abby and that Carter is better, but really, how do people with like 12 kids ever get the laundry done...I think that would be all I had time for...my laundry tip is this...if I want to watch tv or something that makes me feel like a lazy bum, I just put in a load of laundry and then if someone asks what I'm doing...I'm not being a lazy bum...I'm doing laundry!!! Changed my whole attitude about it...just thought I'd share!
