Happy Birthday to my Sweet Baby.....Abbey


Seven is so magical. With some of the physical challenge of growing - walking, running, communicating, using the potty, etc - behind them, they seem so ready to just sink on into who they are. When she was first born, I used to worry about what it would be like for her - the youngest girl to two strong spirited older brothers. I also used to worry about her feeling left out because of the attention that "the boys" get. But that's laughable now, given the personality that quickly emerged from this little one. She's amazing, and today was spent in true honor of who she is. She truly completes our family and makes us all better people just for knowing her. She is a blessing to each of us. The baby!
Oh, my love. I feel so lucky to know her and even luckier to say that she is mine.

Those lazy, crazy days of summer!






We had a great summer! Although it went by too quickly. I actually wept this year as it came to an end. I guess the older the babies get, the more I realize that there aren't going to be many more with the 4 (sometimes 5 when Gordon isn't working) of us. They will start going and doing things that include other people instead of me!
