Our Abbi-doll is 4 years old! We celebrated her birthday with both our families this past weekend. No doubt Abbi is loved much by all. :-)

We're so grateful for our firstborn daughter. She's growing up fast, and sometimes it's hard to keep up with her. She's a great big sister (most of the time), and loves to hold baby Hannah. Abbi is our thinker, always thinking about and processing things, then explaining it all to us. I love to see her imagination at work -- making a "car" out of the little chairs and "driving" places, playing house with her Duplos and little people, caring for her doll, or cooking up a meal in her play kitchen.

The end of the month Abbi will be a flower girl for a dear friend's wedding. She's SO excited about this, wanting us to tell practically everyone we meet that she's going to be a flower girl. :-) She loves weddings, and excitedly talks about the day when she'll get to wear a pretty white dress and a special man will "marry her up." We pray she will grow up to be a woman perfectly suited to be that special man's helper!

And in a couple days Hannah will be 2 weeks old. So far she seems to be a pretty content and happy baby -- she only cries when she has a bubble in her tummy.
