1. Do you play an instrument? I do not play much any more, but I used to play the piano and I took singing lessons for six years. I am teaching Abigail how to play the piano, so I am hoping to start playing again. I do love to play Christmas carols, so that is coming up soon! 2. What do you predict Abigail might be as an adult? Well, right now she wants to be an author/illustrator and...
