My baby is four! As most parents say, "She was a baby just yesterday!" And though the time has flown by, and I do feel like it was just yesterday, I also feel like she's been ready to be four for a while. She is truly a little girl now. Her baby and toddler years are long behind her, and I am beginning to see the Lord working in her little heart. She is becoming a helper and learning about the joy of obedience. We're both learning to be partners in grace! (more to come on that later!)
My mother in law makes the best homemade angel food cake, with homeamde frosting. The cake had both Rodney and Abigail's names on it, and the Reece's Pieces were a childhood tradition.
And we can't forget the birthday boy! This birthday was the year of the grill:) He finally found his dream grill brand new on craigslist, so he received many gifts that we'll all enjoy this summer. We actually went on a date on his actual birthday and enjoyed a fancy (and quiet) dinner just the two of us.
Both my parents and in-laws joined us for the weekend, making for a very relaxing birthday weekend celebration. I am very thankful to have two sets of parents who love us and our children.
We celebrated on Saturday and Sunday (Abigail's actual birthday), so Abigail got to blow out candles twice! I made her favorite breakfast - homemade cinnamon rolls. And then we ate Monical's Pizza for lunch after church.
We love you, Abigail, and continue to pray for your salvation, that the eyes of your heart would be opened to the Good News of God's Rescue Plan.
