Abby took Steve and I to our local Book World to pick out her very first children's Bible, which is her second Bible. She received a lovely Bible earlier this summer with illustrations by Great Grandma Jennie's neighbor, Nancy Munger Anderson. The first Bible even used Abby's Great Great Grandpa Ira as a model for some of the artwork, so it is a very special gift. But, the first Bible is an NIV and a little too advanced for such a young reader, so Abby requested a Children's Bible so she can have a daily Bible story time. We picked out the DK Children's Illustrated Bible because it had great pictures and lots of extra information along with a good retelling of the Bible stories.
Abby also got her first homemade sweater - and this one actually fits her (for now). It is a very lovely blue with a yellow ribbon pulled through a line of sticthes to make a belt so she can tie her sweater on. We are looking forward to its debut tomorrow at church. I have some white yarn to make another sweater, but it may be a while before we start making that one. We have some baby afghans to get to work on.
We took Abby for another little walk down to the Soo Locks and around downtown this morning, but there weren't going to be any big boats and we couldn't find anything in the stores we couldn't live without. Now Abby is learning more about football - mostly how not to play it - by watching Michigan play Notre Dame. Abby is getting good at football.
