My very own car

We went shopping for food which is usually not very interesting, but today I got to drive the shopping cart! It was great! It had keys and even a horn, just like the car Daddy has been driving us around in. I think we both have had fun doing some driving today. In my mouth I have a lollipop that a man gave me at lunch. I am having a wonderful day!

Playing at the Hardware store

Here I am playing with Mommy and Daddy at the hardware store. Its like Canadian Tire, but its in Finland. Mommy says she used to ride on Grandpas foot the same way, and that its even more fun when there are two of you!

Babysitting

I babysit adults for 279 Euros an hour. Send your applications now with a 100 euro fee.

Holiday

We have been traveling everywhere. At first this was not fun. I cried when we arrived in the hotel room in Irkutsk. But then Mommy and Daddy explained to me that it was a "holiday house." So every time I walk in the door, I say "it's a holiday!"

We are now in Finland, and I am learning many Finnish words. I am soperlinnen (this means cute).

Here I am in the forest. Today we are going to a cottage for another holiday. Soon we will go home to our new house in Russia.

It's the water

Look, there's lots of stones and lots of water.

Look at me

This week we met lots of people. One of the ladies had some pretty beads and let me wear them, aren't they pretty?

Where is home Mommy and Daddy?

We stayed in our new house for only five days and then we went on the train again. First I thought it was Uncle Monty's house, then I called it Daddy's house and then I told Mommy that the door is Mommy's door.
Yesterday we went on a train again. I told Mommy that I want to go home because I want to know where home is. Mommy and Daddy said we wil not go home for a while. I cried.
(Note from Mom and Dad- This is a difficult time for Abigail. We have a conference this week, which has been planned for many months. We need to go to Finland to get new visas after the conference. We are all tired of traveling, but it is hardest on Abigail as she doesn't quite know what is going on. We ask that you please pray for Abigail especially at this time._


I have learnt a new word "eckarine", they are yummy. Also do you like mo dolly? My grandma in Australia gave it to me for my birthday.

Our new home

Mommy and Daddy have been trying to tell me lots of times that we are moving to a new home. I sort of understood and would remember that we were taking all of my books and all of my toys. But when Mommy and I got here, Uncle Monty was here too, so I thought it was his home. But he is gone now, so I think I understand better.

Do you like my new room?

ALL my toys and ALL my books

Hmmm, this has been a very strange week. The other day our living room couch was taken away be some men. Then yesterday some other men took our fridge. I went into the kitchen later and could not find the fridge where the juice is kept. I was really sad. Daddy says that some other men are coming to take the tv today. I am really confused.
We often go to other places for a little while. When we do I take a few toys and a few books with me. Mommy says we are going to a new house, and that I should take ALL of my toys and ALL of my books with me. This is a hard time for me, I am sad and confused. Please pray for me that I will understand what is happening and that I will feel safe with Mommy and Daddy while everything is changing. Daddy is going on a truck on Monday and I will miss him very much.
Please pray for me that I will enjoy our new house very much. It will get confusing again, because we have to travel again for a few weeks, one week after we move in. I want to go home. (Note from Dad- Abigail counts our flat in Novosbirsk as home, she has lived here 60% of her life.)
