I'm officially 2!


Abby had her big day on Sunday, it was very eventful! The power went out three times during her party. The first time had kids stranded in the basement, Auntie Natalie and Jacob upstairs and the rest of us in the main living area off to rescue those in the dark! The girls were screaming downstairs it was quite comical. After hunting down the candles and matches in the dark we were able to rescue all those in need. So we had a party by candle light, it was very exciting. Thankfully the meal was all cooked and we were able to eat and continue on with the festivities. Not only was this a special day because Abby was born 2 years ago we chose to have her dedicated on this day as well. We had all four grandparents pray for Abby each one contributed very special words and prayer for different areas in her life. My mom and dad wrote a song for her which I think I recorded I will try and get it on here, it was very beautiful! The Aunts and Uncles all shared something special with Abby about God a verse, prayer, or story. Josh and Caleb each chose a verse that they wanted to tell their sister. It was very sweet. We had lots of fun and we think Abby did too. We put her to bed that night and she yelled from her crib the toys she was wanting to play with b-huggy, Dor-da which resulted in a long cry, that girl was up til 11pm she was so wired.

aw, we missed her dedication...ah well..serves us right for skippin' church!

Sounds like an eventful party...For Justin's 1st Birthday, the power went out as well and I went to the neighbors, one street over, (who happened to have power) and made Spaghetti (his favorite) and his birthday cake because I was determined to have the party at home!
