A day to celebrate and remember!

While we were eating breakfast yesterday I was reminiscing about the happenings exactly one year earlier...I was in the hospital and Matt had to leave to go pay for a traffic ticket in court at 6:45am...lol. He told the clerk he couldn't stay because his wife was having a baby. She rolled her eyes and shoved a postponement form at him and told him to fill that out. Obviously she didn't believe him, haha. But what could he say? The baby came a week early! He was back at the hospital 45 minutes later, sigh of relief. We had a good laugh about it, many times.

Throughout the day I remembered everything else that happened that day, what a day it was, and how so much has changed.

If you didn't figure it out, Abigail is one! Very hard for us to believe...

We had a very nice day yesterday opening presents, ordering balloons and getting our nails painted. She is now standing on her own and attempts more and more to walk by herself. She can go about 6 steps on her own right now which is super fun to watch. If we are holding her hand(s) she can go quite a distance. She is feeding herself now, mostly. I usually load up the spoon or fork for her or I have a BIG mess to cleanup. She can definitely be a rascal at times, she had learned how to turn off the TV while we are watching and turns around, looks at us, and laughs and laughs.

We have a birthday party planned for Sunday at the park across the street. She has lots of little friends coming. It will be a great day of sun, swings, snacks and cake!!!

We are plannin gour next trip to California! We are all signed up for a race at the PCRF Cinco de Mayo Half Marathon. Abby is doing the kids 1K. So come on out and cheer us on if you can!! We are going back to my parents for a Cinco de Mayo feast afterwards, everyone is invited. We would love to see you all!

Roxanne was just diagnosed with Diabetes this week. We are giving her insulin shots twice a day now and have special food for her. Please pray that she feels better and this regimen helps her live for many more years!
