Happy 1st Birthday Abigail!

Hard to believe "Abigator" is one year old! She got her nickname from our nephew Jude who called her "Abigator" the first time he tried to say Abigail (he was 3 at the time)...and it stuck! She has 7 teeth and is cruising around the furniture ready to walk any week now. She didn't enjoy her first sip of cow milk as she spit it all out. We'll just have to try again later! She loves to sit and have a book read to her one-on-one (just like Grace). She knows that the cow says "moo" and the dog says "woof" and the ducks says "dack, dack".  My favorite thing is to see her take care of her baby doll. She gives her baby doll hugs and kisses and gives her a bottle. Isn't it is neat for her to be so nurturing at such a young age. So sweet. Here are a few pictures of her birthday party.

Grace requested cupcakes on behalf of Abigail! I made these toppers in photoshop.

Abigail feeds her baby doll. So glad Uncle Matt is back in town to stay!

Happy Easter!

♪♫♪♫"If ever I loved thee, my Jesus 'tis now"...(words from an old hymn that I have had in my head all week) I am so thankful what Jesus did for us. And Easter is the time to celebrate his resurrection...and celebrate we did!

Grace dyed Easter eggs and decorated them...she even ate a few, too!

Grace with the Easter Bunny!

Someone found their Easter basket!

We enjoyed a beautiful Easter service. Grace helped the children to flower the cross.
I lead a handbell choir for the first time and they sounded great!

After Easter service we headed to Auntie Lindsay's parent's house for an egg hunt and dinner. It was lots of fun!

Abigail loved this little car!
