Abby and one of her two best friends, A.J. - October 2008This is an old picture of Abby - back from the days when she was 5 months old. It's hard to believe it was 10 months ago! We are posting it because we are happy to announce that one of Abby's two best friends, A.J. is going to be officially adopted by her foster family and will be a permanent part of Abby's childhood. We are so happy for the Hood family, who have been A.J.'s parents since A.J. was just a few months old. I can't wait until Abby and her best friends A.J. and Maddie are able to head to kindergarten together and celebrate all of childhood's milestones together. What a blessing best friends are - even at a young age. And what a blessing it is to see a child taken from a terrible situation find a loving home in a Christian family! I have a ton of respect for my friends Kevin and Andrea.
To celebrate A.J.'s adoption we are going to try and have a little play date and ice cream party today. Then we have to get to packing so we can head down toward Lansing for Adam and Anne's wedding. Adam and Steve survived dental school together and had quite a bit of fun in the process. We can't wait to see him, Anne, and the rest of the dental school friends who will be attending the wedding. And Abby can't wait to wear her new shoes or visit her Grandmas and Grandpas and practice her new word - more. Unfortunately it is going to be a very, very short weekend, with the wedding taking up most of the day on Saturday, so we probably won't get to visit everyone we want to. So if we miss you this weekend, it's not because we don't love you or want to see you - there are just so many hours in a day! And we have to celebrate Grandma Mary and Aunt Courtnie's birthdays on Saturday night (hopefully).
Time to get back to reality - the dog is barking at something outside...
