Bath-tizing!

It's been a little while since my last post, 'cause we've been a tad busy--and sick--around here. This weather has been crazy and has not helped things much. One day is raining and 80 degrees, the next it's near freezing. Can't catch a break! On top of that, all 4 of us had a nasty stomach bug a few weeks ago, which was special to say the least! All in all, though, things are going pretty well! We've got a lot going on, and hopefully some really great things are going to be happening soon! Don't mean to be so mysterious, but I just don't want to jinx anything! Your prayers are greatly appreciated during this time!
Before I forget, I have a sweet/funny Abigail story to tell! That kid is so smart (if I haven't already mentioned that) and she never misses a thing! I think she really thinks about things for awhile, because sometimes she'll just start talking about things that happened awhile back. It's like she ponders on it for awhile and tries to figure it out, and then she lets us in on what she's been processing. Here's a summary of our conversation tonight in the bathtub:

Abigail: "Momma, what about those boys and girls at church?? They had on their red dresses and they were taking their baths. We don't take baths with our dresses on!"

Me: "Well, baby, they weren't taking a bath, they were getting baptized. That means that they love Jesus and want to do what He says." (That was the best I could think of in a pinch.)

Abigail: "Right. They were getting bath-tized. That means you take a bath at church with Jesus."
Yep, that's what it means. :)
Oh, I love this kid. I don't know how I'll ever help her with her homework, because she's WAY smarter than me already. I am amazed every day!
