Abigail went to church today for the first time! It was her big debut! It was also the primary program and Kohen was singing so i really wanted to be there. He did amazing! He marched right up with all the other sunbeams and sang his songs, smiled a bunch and looked completely comfortable in front of everyone. Incredible really, for those who know Kohen. I took Abigail home after sacrament meeting but then got a call from Braden to return for the kids because Evelyn had pooped her pants in nursery (I had of course taken all the diapers with me) and Kohen flatly refused to attend primary. I mention all this because the high drama and adventure that is Kohen and Evelyn is in such contrast to quiet little Abigail who loves to lazily dream away in the swing...regardless of what hubub is occuring around her. I do keep reminding myself that at three weeks of age, this might be a passing phase as well. She will probably join the fray in a month or two. But I am definitly enjoying her mellow content little personality for now.

Snow!


We have officially started our winter season. Kohen and Evelyn are super excited for the snow. I think Evelyn doesn't really remember last winter and Kohen is just thrilled to wear all his new snow gear. Our first sledding adventure out in the neighborhood was a success. Kohen tried out all the hills near our house and Evelyn tried to eat as much snow as possible before I could pin her down and stop the feast. I'm afraid she wasn't distinguishing between good clean fresh snow, and snow in the road, snow on rocks...yellow snow (oh please not that!)

I never really did send out an official "welcome baby" announcement, so I guess this is it. Three weeks post fact. Abigail Ruth Galloway was born October 9th at 11:19 am and weighed in at 7lbs 4 oz. She is a sweet little thing and much loved already by her big brother and sister.
