Abigail's First Communion

Today, April 24th,  Abigail had her first communion. She requested to come to big church, so we grabbed two books from the library, (and the silly little kid pack with next to nothing in it) and ended up in the very last row of the balcony. Coincidentally, Mrs. Pam Koban, (4 year old Sunday school teacher) had talked about the last supper today in Sunday school and actually showed them a little communion cup and piece of bread. Kelly Christie of our small group served us. What a treat! And just like I did when I was a kid, after her careful, deliberately small sips until she became comfortable, she stuck her tongue in the cup and wiggled it around to make sure she got every last drop!!

First Piggy Bank Purchase!

Saturday, April 23, 2016, after our long trek home from Caroline's 5 year old Art Birthday Party, my sweet girl had her first piggy bank purchase! At Bed Bath and Beyond of all places... We sat on the floor and counted out pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters and she had saved enough for the purple pastry brush! She saw this item months ago and it never left her mind. Such a memorable experience for her first finance lesson. 😊 I don't think I'll ever know quite why she got stuck on this pink pastry brush one random day we went on in Bed Bath & Beyond. I never go there and hardly ever take her out shopping with me, so it is all so funny! She spotted this item and I told her she could save her money because I wasn't going to purchase this item on an impulse buy. (We use this little brush to spread olive oil and sauce on the pizza crust). I just think it was so good for her to deal with money, saving, figuring out what she wants and how to get it and having her mama there to help teach. It was all so wonderful!
