I can’t believe Abby is 2.
Abby turned two today. We had a great night. Just our family at home for a quiet celebration. The big extended family party will come over July 4 weekend, but we’ve been so chaotic lately that is was nice to be home with just the 4 of us.
We wrapped it up with cupcakes out on the deck for this beautiful night…and invited our neighbors over for that part. A great night to hang out a little bit.
Here’s my quick thoughts on Abby as she turns two…
-I’ve never seen anyone — anyone! — with the range of demonstrative facial expressions she has.
-She has a ready answer to any question — quick on the trigger.
-My favorite song to sing to her: “Some Kind of Wonderful” (inspired by Fred Ewing singing it at Suncrest)
-Best expressions…In frustration she used to say: “Oh Pickles” Now when things are OK, she says “Oh-Tay”
-She’s blessed to have a big brother like Jack and likes to “keep up” with him. Here’s a picture of the 2 of them.
-She is beautiful like her mom.
-She leads our prayer at the table once a day with “Open, Shut them”
-I love pushing her on the swingset. Her favorite way to have me push her usually comes as a grinning command, “Pull my legs off.”
-Having a daughter makes me think all kinds of thoughts. Mostly either about being a good protector or a good provider.

I pray that you and Abby will have lots of wonderful memories together. Jack, too, of course, but I pray for special blessings for Abby’s birthday week.
