Happy 10th Birthday Abby!

It is impossible to believe that my baby is turning 10 today!!  Here are several of our memories!!

Happy Birthday Abby!!
  • You were born on a Saturday night.
  • We left for the hospital at 8 a.m. that morning after Gramma & Grampa K. came to watch Trev.
  • You looked so serious when you were born.
  • They put a pink bow in your hair as soon as you were born.
  • You were way too little for the beautiful white snowsuit that Gramma T. bought you!
  • Trevor was amazed at you as he looked in the cradle at you.
  • Trevor thought that you belonged to Gramma T. and that you should go home with her!!
  • You were a good sleeper and a good eater.
  • You looked absolutely adorable in your pink Winnie the Pooh hat.
  • You began walking at 9 months old -- just trying to keep up with Trev!
  • You were a good car rider.
  • You looked so tiny in your Dad's arms.
  • You are quite athletic -- you aren't afraid to try any sport and you are pretty good at many of them!
  • You like school and your teachers.
  • You love goofing around and playing sports with your Dad.
  • You always stick up for your Mom.
  • You miss Mom when she goes scrapbooking with her sisters.
  • You love your brother -- even though you fight like cats and dogs!!
  • You are a big Bears fan -- just like your Dad!!
  • You like to be outside with your dogs and cats.
  • You love to read -- just like your Mom!
  • You ask tons of questions....all the time!!
  • You like to know all about the past -- you will be the next family historian.
  • You love spending time with your family.
  • You are so happy to have a cell phone -- and you are pretty responsible for it (except for the recent JC Penney incident!!).
  • You enjoy visiting Mom's sisters in Chicago.
  • You remind me of a city mouse/country mouse -- you enjoy the best of both worlds.
  • You do tend to yell more and more often!!
  • You take the longest showers -- we may have to get a timer for you.
  • You love taking care of your "baby cousins."
  • You look up to your older cousins.
  • You wanted to be "one of the boys" in Shelbyville -- you took off your shirt, just like the boys!
  • You stayed up later than everyone else on our first night in the pop-up camper.
  • You love fishing and catching frogs while camping.
  • You gave us quite a scare when you crashed your bike -- we learned what the inside of the Shelbyville hospital looks like!
  • You have a sweet tooth.
  • You just informed me that you are not a cake person -- I can't believe that you are related to me!!
Happy Birthday Abby!!  We look forward to many more exciting years :)
Love,
Mom and Dad
