Happy 1st Birthday Abby!

We had a small (just family) party for Abby’s birthday yesterday.  She ate some yummy cake, got some nice presents, and went for many a ride in her new car. 

It seems impossible that just a year ago she was born into this world.  All day yesterday I was thinking, “Let’s see, at this time last year I was…”  She truly is a joy and a blessing.  I can’t imagine what life would be like without her.  We are so thankful that God answered what seemed to be an impossible prayer and allowed Abby to survive what we were told was a miscarriage.  Abby, you are a miracle and a testament to God’s love, mercy, and power.  We love you sweet girl!

Yay Abby!                      DSC_1061_a-5x7-LR

Abby’s cake and cupcakes before being demolished.  I learned from my mistake with Avery.  Abby didn’t get a mini cake, only a cupcake (a giant one though) in the hopes that she wouldn’t puke it back up like her big sister did on her 1st b-day.IMGP2490

I’m 1 today!  A little snack before the main event.        IMGP2495
