sweet abby jane is 9!!!

Happy Birthday dear, sweet girl. 

Your name means "source of joy"....

and you truly are. 

You bring such life and energy to our family. 

You set aside your own interest for others, so often.

You see needs and you meet them. 

You are growing to be a beautiful young lady

on the inside and out! 

We love and cherish you. 

Hold on to Jesus. 

Keep asking those deep questions. 

Keep striving to understand!! 

How we love seeing the gifts that God has given you.

Glorify God with your gifts....

and you will be used mightily for His kingdom. 

Thank you dear family and friends for all the sweet things you sent Abby,

for the phone calls, web-chats, e-mails, and best-wishes on Facebook! 

You made Abby's day very, very special. 

We are so grateful for her AND for you!! 

(Don't worry.... more on our tea-time at the American girl store

and that crazy GUITAR that Abby got, to come :)
