GOTCHA day!

One year ago today we became a family. Today is our GOTCHA day! November 20, 2009 we became Abigail's parents. The parental rights were terminated in the court and we got to take our precious baby home before Thanksgiving. What an amazing God we have that He could bring us together in His perfect timing! She was 35 days old and less than 7 pounds- a tiny and beautiful gift!

Today at 13 months old she weighs just over 17 pounds and is crawling everywhere. She "talks" all the time and is into everything. It is amazing to see how she learns and discovers things.

How will we celebrate today?
*first and foremost-we thank God for our precious gift. Without Him Abigail would not be here with us.
*Eat blueberry pancakes for breakfast. (done and yum!)
*enjoy playtime today & maybe take a walk with the 3 puppies
*watch ATM play Nebraska tonight...whoop!

Thank you for celebrating with us. As we reach each milestone we continue to be in awe of how amazing it is to be Abigail's Mommy and Daddy. Let us not forget that her birthmom chose LIFE for her and she knew she couldn't provide a stable home for her baby. She chose US to be parents. That is the most unselfish gift! Through God's guidance this beautiful girl was placed for adoption and I am her Mommy!!! Wherever the birthmom is we still think of her and sincerely hope she is doing ok. May God bless her always.

Have a wonderful day-We know we will.
Love and blessings,
Jenny
