Farewell Blog

I've decided today will be my last post (at least for now).  I've maintained my blog for 5 1/2 years and I've enjoyed sharing my pictures and comments with my myriad blog followers- yes I mean you Ted and Carolyn. :)  I thought it fitting that my final post be pictures of the two most important people in my life.

Pictures #1-2: Ted and Abigail going for a bike ride.

First Gift

Abigail opened her first gift- bracelets, necklaces, and barrettes- and then decided to put everything on.

I'ts My Birthday

When Abigail came down this morning and saw the gifts underneath the tree the first thing she said was, "presents," then she kept saying, "it's my birthday, it's my birthday."  She was so excited.
