April ...wow!

It is April and the sun is shining! Yippee!

We have really been enjoying the weather. Thank goodness it has been nice the last week so we can get out and play. Little Abigail has loved wearing her sun hat! And of course she looks adorable in it. :)

What an exciting few weeks we have had. Abigail's dedication at church was amazing! We were surrounded by wonderful family and friends. Of course Mommy and Daddy, Grandma, Mimi & Granddaddy, Great Grandma, Nanny & Da, Uncle and 2 cousins, close family friends and Abigail's wonderful transitional care family! We met at church and took up an entire row. It means so much to us that everyone was there to watch Abigail's special moment. It was obvious that God placed us all together there at that very moment. And...she did great in church. She was dancing to the music and wide-eyed during the dedication. What a cutie! (I will get a picture posted as soon as possible.)
Sunday after church we took all of our family and friends out to lunch to continue the celebration. Then Abigail and I followed the family back to Boerne to visit a couple more days. It was a great visit! I cherish the times with family and know that Abigail is a true blessing to all of us. She lights up the room with her smile and laughter and it is in those moments that I know God placed her in our life at exactly the right moment for all of us.

A couple days ago....the weather was perfect for our first family walk dogs and all. Jerry and I loaded sweet girl in her jogging stroller and off we went. It was a sight! 3 different cars stopped to comment on us walking with 3 dogs and a baby. That sounds like a movie title...haha. It was pretty funny...but it was also a reminder of how blessed we are.

Abigail's Birthday Party Invite: Last weekend....we went to our best friends' 2 year old birthday parade. That's right...parade. It was really cool. Everyone was instructed to BYOB (Bring your own bike....or stroller in our case). We decorated the stroller with streamers and a pennant with Abigail's name on it. Then the neighborhood firetruck lead the parade. There were over 20 kids and parents in this parade. It was a blast! Then as we rounded the corner to head back the CLOWN showed up. So here we were....Firetruck...decorated bikes/strollers...and a Clown. It ws a great time.

This is just another example of how our life has changed. There will be many more kid's birthday parties in our future and we can't wait to spend them with our little girl.

Yesterday, Abigail went to her first Lady Aggies Softball game. It was a sunny afternoon and she looked great in her maroon overalls and sun hat. So far she been to 2 lady aggie basketball games and on softball game. Future Lady Aggie???.....you betcha!

Special note: We are suppose to hear from Abigail's birthmom this month. Please pray that she will be able to set up a visit with us. Stay tuned for more details on that later.

Take care and God bless,
Jenny
