Abby (7.75 years old)

This little girl is growing up.

And I just can't believe what a great kid she is. I've really enjoyed the time I've spent with her lately. Last week I decided I'd start running a few times a week, and Abby asked if she could come along. So, I said yes... and it's been so fun! Not only is she a great runner, but she's great company too. I enjoy listening to her tell me all about her day, all about her friends, the things she likes and doesn't like, what she wants to be and do, and on and on and on.

Tonight, we had a laid back night at home (she was home sick today) and we spent time in the kitchen cooking together. She made chicken strips and a honey mustard dip all by herself. She loves cooking. And art. And she now wants to be an EMT when she grows up so she can help people. And she wants a Mustang convertible... with it's own Starbucks and that's full of pillow pets. Yep, that's right. She's a dreamer. She's passionate. And kind. She still loves babies. And her friends. And having her back "tickled". So many things that have become distinctly her, and still, she's so full of surprises. It's so amazing getting to watch her as she grows up, and I can't wait to see what great things God has in store for her!
