Rob and I went to NY for a week after 4th of July and when we returned to Indiana we brought our niece Gabrielle. It has been a good time getting to know her better and for Abraham to have a "big sister". It's been different to have two children to watch after and to feed. Although, Gabrielle does pretty much everything on her own I have found that my work load has increased. She has learned how to do laundry since being here so she has done all of the laundry a few times, I think she enjoys it. I have not asked her to do it she just does it.
Since we are living on the farm there are farm things to do like collect the eggs. This too is something she enjoys doing and has asked Rich (Rob's Dad) if she can do it. Today I took her school shopping (her Mom gave us the money). It was fun to shop since I too am a shopper. But I was amazed at the things she likes since the styles for her age are so much like what I wore in high school. I should have saved those clothes and I could be handing them off.... although I am sure something would still look old to her. :)
Well she will be with us about another week - Mooie and Poppie will come to town to visit and bring Gabrielle home.
