Abigail

At almost 2 1/2, our Abbie has grown by leaps and bounds. She seems to be on track physically with her age. She has surprised us with how well she can talk for 2 1/2 (compared to when her brother started to talk). She speaks quite clearly and we can almost always understand what she's saying. She eats just about anything depending on her mood (as it is with most girls). We're talking a salad, a meat sandwich, red sauce, broccoli, peas, corn, etc.
This little girl will MAKE YOU LAUGH! She is so funny. Once she's completely comfortable with her surroundings and the people around her, you will notice how her personality is so dynamic and has so much pep. Every day I'm laughing about some expression she's made, or comment, or her just acting silly. It's so fascinating to think what her interests will be as she gets older.
Ever since Abbie was born, she has given us surprise after surprise, and even though we are past the rough patches of her health (Lord willing), she continues to give us a different kind of surprise after surprise. There is no doubt that God has big plans for this little girl. We are so thankful for her life in ours.

Abbie loves hats.



 She loves babies, especially her new little cousin, Annabelle.
 She found Mommy's lipstick.
Posing as a grad student. Who knows? She loves books!
She loves her purse that Nana got her.
 Unfortunately, Abbie is still on the nebulizer, for her second year now. The good news is that it seems to be seasonal. We're hoping when the weather warms up, she will be off it completely. We're praying she will grow out of her tendencies to wheeze and it won't turn into asthma.

 More baby Annabelle.
 Abbie enjoys dressing up. She's all girl.
 But most of all, she loves her big brother. She will follow him around anywhere, anytime.

Abbie is getting so big! Marc has to do nebulizer treatments for wheezing/bronchiolitis/asthma as well - I am told they will most likely grow out of it, like Jarrod did as a boy.
love catching up with your family from afar, thanks for all the pictures! Hope to see you this summer!

I just LOVE those pictures!! I could eat her up!

I'm aching for you guys right now! The boys have been asking to see Jaron. I said, what? and get him sick?! Gabe said, yes, cuz he's not sick. (Just Eli and me.) Eli replied, "Do you really think I want to get my best friend sick? I don't think so!"

Then later he asked if he could come over...

Do ya think you're missed??

That is too cute! And my kids love your boys! It is so worth to have them grow up together close by. They're making memories now that can never be replaced, just as we did growing up with our cousins.

Those are ADORABLE pictures! I love the ones of Jaron and her playing together! It's great to have a brother that can be your friend too!
