Abigail turns 3

We celebrated Abigail's third birthday this week. On Sunday we went out for dinner at Sizzler in honour of the occasion (and visited Great-Grandma Sheehy in the hospital afterwards). On the day, while I had big plans of things to do with Abigail, we ended up just having a quiet day at home; Abigail enjoyed a few Skype calls with family. Jon had been coming down with the flu and that night he was in bed by 6:30pm so the evening celebrations were somewhat subdued, but Abigail was very happy to get her long awaited birthday cake. And she was very pleased with a gift of flowers she received from some playgroup friends earlier in the day (the flowers went everywhere with her for a few days until the constant attention brought about their demise).

It's amazing what 3 years can hold. Jon and I have grown as parents, and Abigail continues to blossom and mature in so many ways. We continue to pray she will be her Father's Joy, and grow into a beautiful and wise woman.
