Abby had her 8th birthday a few weeks ago. It's hard to believe she's that old! Abby really has been such a blessing to have in our family. She is so responsible, thoughtful, and kind-hearted. I expect so much out of her and she is so grown up for a little girl. She wakes up to her alarm every morning and gets in the shower and gets dressed. If I'm not around, she gets herself breakfast before she needs to get on the bus. Abby likes to think things out and reason why people feel the way they do. Abby is an amazing child and I'm lucky to have been sent her spirit to help me grow and learn to be a good mom. I hope I don't put too much pressure on her to grow up too fast. It's hard to think of her as just an 8 year old when she is the size of an 11 year old. She already wants to be such a teenager!
Abby has bugged me for years to get her ears pierced, and I finally gave in to her pleas. I drove her to the mall to get her cute little ears pierced. She was very brave and it turned out to be a fairly painless process. :)

| Abby invited a gazillion girls to her birthday party, so we ended up having to do it at our church building. She thought it was great! |
