Happy Birthday Abby!

Today is the big day... Abby turns 4! We can't believe it. Could it really be true that it was 4 years ago our tiny girl came so early? So much has happened in these past 4 years, but it still feels like it was just yesterday we were meeting Abby for the first time.

Sweet darling we love you more than words can say. God gave us a precious, unique gift when He gave you to our family. How can we thank Him enough?! You bring new meaning to our lives every day, and cause us to look towards our Father more frequently than we might have otherwise. You are our precious angel.

Happy Birthday Sweetheart!

We would love to collect messages on this 4th birthday so we can add them to her special book. Sometimes we go back and read through all the encouraging notes we received from the early days... it would be fun to read new ones to her!



Thanks to Rachel Coleman, creator of 'Signing Time,' for the use of Abby's birthday video theme song, Shine.

Abby you are truly a precious angel and I love you sooooo much. I wish you a very happy birthday and can't wait to see you and hold you next week. It is hard to believe you are 4 years old. In some way it seems only like 4 months but in other ways I feel you have always been part of our lives. I love you.

Happy Birthday, Abby! I loved watching that video because it was exuding pictures of those who love you and we are so thankful that you have the amazing family you do. Not only your parents, but SO many people who love you. You are blessed.

Abby you are an angel, and you are blessed by a family that I'm sure God hand picked. I know that you will grow and continue to bless everyone who knows you. I cannot wait to hold you again. I am so proud of your entire family. The family that is so close to God and who touches everyone with their love for God. God Bless- Great Aunt Marylou and Larry

Happy Birthday Abby. I can't believe you are four years old already. It is sad I haven't ever met you (as yet). But I do plan on doing that sometime soon and also meet up with your proud parents.
Abby, you are blessed with great parents. Patrick and Patty are one of the most honest, helpful and the nicest people that I have meet.All of you are in my thoughts and prayers everyday.
Take care,

Darling Abby,
You are such a big beautiful girl today! Happy Birthday angel. Its sad that we have not met, maybe we will someday. You are a gift for your parents and they for you very thoughtfully picked by someone watching over all of us. Your parents and their families are one of the nicest people I have known who opened their home and their heart to me when I was far...really far from home (and a little lonesome sometimes). Here is to the beautiful "Hull Munchkin"!!
Love and best wishes for today and always,
Kasturi
