I feel like these pics were just captured, but actually some are 5 months old! Sorry y'all... I thought I'd start when Joshua and Farrah arrived... since I never officially posted the first pics of us meeting Abigail. That was Sunday, December 24th 2017 around 6PM. Although only 7 weeks old, Abigail was all smiles when she got out of her car seat... Beginning her rounds, with all her crazy aunts and uncles who were overjoyed to finally meet their first niece! Evan and Joanna got here on December 27th, and stayed with us for 10 days... we saved some gifts and other Feldman Christmas traditions to have with them, so it was really special having our whole family together for the celebration of Jesus birth! On January 1st, we had a large fellowship planned at our house... but we ended up moving it to the church due to *cold* and wet weather. But we still had a blast!
We always take advantage of Joshua's carpentry skills whenever the chance arises...=) so now we have a new floor over almost the whole house, totally remodeled bathroom, new doghouse, and beautiful pine walls in the livingroom!
I hope you enjoy the pictures... although mostly taken with my phone, at least memories were made, and some pictures were taken to capture them!

| Meeting Sweetness... |
 |
| The excitement level was much higher getting to come out and not only see loads of presents, but these precious people! |
 |
| Later on Christmas Day, we drove down to Tampa to visit Uncle Gary & Aunt Diana, PaPa & Grandmother, and our cousin Hannah, and her husband Brandon were there from KY too! |
 |
| Cornhole was a must! |
 |
| Squeezed in for a family self timed phone pic!=) |
 |
| Uncle Justice loves holding his niecey=) |
 |
| Gathered 'round the table hearing from the "Michiganders"! |
 |
| Here we were practicing singing a song for our New Year's Eve Watchnight service at church. It was so nice getting to do that with the married couples and Nathan! |
 |
| It was like MI weather... in Florida! |
 |
| Granddaddy gets a little time with her! |
 |
| Sissy came and visited us for a day, which was a real treat! And I was so glad Honeygail was in a smiley mood for her=) |
 |
| YAY! We did actually play a little VB while Evan and Joanna were still here... |
 |
| Joanna brought her accordion down, which was thoroughly enjoyed! |
 |
| Well, actually she brought both her accordions with her, and then left one until Joshua and Farrah brought it back up... |
 |
| Precious loved sitting on my lap sewing... |
 |
| Adorable is an understatement. |
 |
| We got to celebrate LilyAnn's birthday while they were here too! |
 |
| Probably the biggest grin we've gotten on camera! |
 |
| The ahemm...bathroom. Yes, we needed a makover! (Annnnd... I assure you, Joshua was NOT standing around on his phone giving orders to get everything done... LOL!=) |
 |
| I got SO many super cute pics of her, I just had to share a few... (which I know, takes up most the post!) |
 |
| "Hiking" at Manatee Springs! |
 |
| Alayna, Farrah, and I laid the river rocks down for the shower floor. |
 |
| I love this picture! |
 |
| And this one<3 |
 |
| Easter Sunday! |
 |
| Building the doghouse... Much to Alayna's delight, who now (temporarily) has 20 dogs to care for! |
 |
| Visiting with dear friends! |
 |
| Mrs. Handyside read us a couple stories she wrote, which were very entertaining... especially being read by her! |
 |
| J and F took us to Payne's Prairie. It was fun hiking, and seeing wildlife! |
 |
| Joshua was intrigued seeing a gator up close! He was pretty big, maybe 8 or 9 footer! |
 |
| It's hard to tell in the picture. |
 |
| While Daddy and Mama were out for their anniversary, Joshua and Farrah "baby-sat" us... we went hiking, explored the new Bass Pro Shops in Gainesville, and ate at Sam's. |
 |
| Sam's soft serve frozen yogurt is the best for 99 cents! |
 |
| Screenshot from a video=) |
 |
| Joshua and Farrah surprised me with this fantastic grand piano cake for my birthday! It was almost hard to cut into it because it was so perfect! |
 |
| Joshua and Farrah took me out for my birthday! We went golfing... which was fun! I hadn't held a club since I was six or so! Joshua patiently helped me, although it took *many* tries before I even made contact with the ball=) It was fun anyway! |
 |
| And then we ate out at Longhorn, in which Abigail drooled just looking at the menu... haha!=) |
 |
| The Saint's came over for Emaline's birthday party! |
 |
| Laying the floor! |
 |
| I had to include this picture... we had so much rain, that even the Sandhills got "flooded!" SUCH a huge blessing to our brown farm! |
 |
| Stuff was EVERYWHERE! |
 |
| Farrah painted the little girl's room with Emaline! It looks SO much better now! |
 |
| Daddy did most of the oiling... |
 |
| Bo, William, and Justice did a lot of the work putting pine wood on the living room walls! |
 |
| The last week, we girls went out with Farrah and Honeygail... We did some shopping, and enjoyed a treat together! |
 |
"Surely it'll fit... if I could just reach it!"
"For His merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the LORD endureth for ever. Praise ye the LORD."
