Hello Friends and Family,
I am very anxious to start blogging about the Allison Family. I wake up everyday and Abigail starts doing something new. Sometimes I feel like life is flying by and I worry I will not be able to share these memories in years to come.
Currently Chad and Abigail are both sick. Abigail has a cold and Chad has an upper respiratory infection. This weekend has been crazy with it snowing in March, Abby fussy, and Chad trying to get well. It is Sunday and everyone seems to be getting better. So thankful!
Abigail will be crawling any day now. She currently is getting up on all 4's and rocking back and forth. We are just anxiously waiting for the big moment! She is in love with Rufus and Shelby. They are so fantastic with her, they allow her to pull their ears and hair. It is great to see the puppies doing so great with her. In a couple of years she will be their biggest fan.
I just recently started a new career path and I am loving it. I work for a company (Texas Health Benefits) that assists small to medium size business with health benefits and 401ks. I am loving it! It is a product I understand, believe is necessary for all families, and allows me the flexibility in my schedule I have always dreamed of. This past week I had to make a trip to Austin to visit one of our larger clients. It was a great meeting and followed up by a great night on 6th street. Myrna (my boss) and I enjoyed SXSW. Austin is an amazing city! The only thing missing was my hubby. I hated being gone for the night but I was able to enjoy the next day at home with Abigail while I worked. The benefits of working from home... I get more family time!
Chad is still working with FedEx and working towards a promotion. Due to the economy Chad's industry has struggled but there seems to be some light at the end of the tunnel. He has received several promising words of encouragement from his supervisor, so he keeps trucking! (Pun Intended since he works in the freight industry). He is a hard worker and great at his job. I have no doubts in Chad.
And finally the biggest news of the week! My sister and Travis are expecting another addition to their already large, amazing family. She is due in October which will mean Abigail will have a cousin 3 months older and 13 months younger. In a few years the tea party table will be full. Congratulations sis and Travis. We can't wait to meet the new baby. We love you all (Angie, Travis, Joe, Jay, Lilly Bug, and Olivia)
I hope everyone enjoys reading about our family as much as I love being a part of this family.
Love,
Jackie
