A Little Abby Update

We are preparing to welcome another little girl into our family. But I thought I'd take some time to talk about our big girl. In my opinion, we're well overdue for an Abby update!

What can I say about our sweet girl? Her dimpled smile brightens my day. Her care of her little brother and excitement over the arrival of her baby sister warm my heart. Her love of learning and excitement about school make me proud. God certainly blessed our family when He decided to gift us this wonderful little girl.

Of course, as with any child, life does have its challenges. We often depend on Abby to be more patient and understanding simply because Zachary is still learning these skills. We have been seeing glimpses of attitude, especially when she's tired. She also tends to get frustrated easily, sometimes by small things, like not being able to fit crayons back in the box. So, we are working on these areas, of course. But the blessings of daily life with this precious girl outweigh these challenges by miles and miles.

(I love how Dan is smiling, even though Abby was hitting
his knuckles as often as she was hitting the pomegranate!)
