i still remember way back, when we lived in virginia and i waited to be induced with our second child. the nurse ask me a few questions. my favorite was, my pre-pregnancy weight and how much i weighed now. i remember her looking at me and saying, "wow, you really ate your way right in here didn't you." i think so....and so did abe, weighing 8lbs 12 oz.
when abe was born, all i could say was, "he is so cute, he is so cute, he is so cute." the day after i had him, i got bell's palsy. not fun. i remember holding tiny little abe and he would make this "mmmm, mmmmm, mmmmm" sound and he seemed to make everything all better. he still does seem to make everything all better at our house. he is an amazing brother, peacemaker, and quiet leader.
he wanted to have a family dinner for his birthday. since we just moved back to utah, that sounded great. thank goodness for great families and wonderful cousins!!!!


happy diez day! we love you!!!!!
