I have been a bad blogger lately but I am going to do my best the next few days to catch up on some of the great fun we have been having.
A few weeks ago we baptized our first child!!!! I can't believe I am old enough to have a daughter who is baptized and has started activity day girls. The day was wonderful. We had both sets of grandparents in town and that made the day even more special. Abby was so excited and was well prepared for the step she was about to take. One of my favorite moments was seeing Abby stand between her grandmothers and sing. They sounded beautiful together and I am so happy Abby has so many wonderful women in her life to be an example to her.
I can't explain the joy that filled my heart as I saw her enter the font with her proud father waiting for her on the other end. As soon as he took her hand my eyes filled with tears. I met Abby with a towel when she was done and her fist question was, "Mom, are you ok?" I scooped her up and gave her a big wet hug and told her how proud I was of her. I then got to change her into her beautiful white dress, which made me cry even more. I could not help to think ahead to the future and realize that before I know it I will be standing in the brides room in the temple once again helping her into another beautiful white dress.
It was such a special moment between just the two of us. The kind of moment that does not come around very often. I am so lucky to be Abby's mom.
I have to give a big thank you to our families who came. It was a wonderful few days and we wish we could have them more often. Thank you for taking the time to be here. It meant the world to Abby and to us.
This will go down in history as one of my most favorite days ever!

Tell her we are really proud of her.
It was a Beautiful day. I am so grateful we could be part of it. She is a very special girl in a very special family.
So So special. I'm so glad we were able to be there. I was crying right there with you and she's not even mine! ;)
She was so beautiful! I love those moments you got to share together! You are a fabulous mom to a really sweet girl...did she love the book that you got and did she bawl and bawl like we did???
This post made me cry--especially the moments you and Abby shared together. I was so, so sad to have missed it, but glad my family was there. What a special day--made even more special with so much family there to support Abby.
We are sad we missed it! But we added the invitation (so cute by the way) to our family bulletin board so we see her picture whenever we're in the kitchen.
Abby, Congrats!
You have such a beautiful family. Both on the inside and out. Thanks for this post!
Abby is such a cutie, I will never forget the time we had her at the football game with us and she was just cheering her heart out for the team and Nate. She will always be a special one to me.
