How special is that?! Three-year-olds are just great. So much learning and figuring things out. Our Abbi-doll is no exception!

We've been counting down the days till October 4th, with Abbi getting to put a sticker on the calendar each day leading up to the special day. And Sunday morning she woke up and knew exactly what day it was.

After church both our families gathered together to celebrate. Lots of yummy food and special desserts. The birthday girl was showered with love and special gifts.

We are so grateful for our firstborn. She is a true joy! Abigail means "joy of the father" and she lives up to it. Abbi loves to help her daddy to just about anything... and Josh is eager to teach her! She has also been a big help with Bethany -- watching her while I take care of something, bringing me things, or singing to Bethany when she's sad.

Pray with us that we would be faithful to train her up in the ways of the Lord, and that her heart would be drawn to the Lord.

Her favorite breakfast -- cereal and milk!
