Doing Great!


Well she went to sleep without any problem and woke up about midnight because she had moved herself where she was hitting her head on the crib rails. I moved her and she slept until 5:00 am. She is still adjusting this morning. She didn't like her first bath. She is trying to figure out who these people are and as long as you hold her she is OK.

I believe that she is going to be a Daddy's girl. For those of you out there who know Mark really well, well he had her watching ladies' golf last night.

We are getting ready to go down for breakfast and see what we can get her to eat. Mark is going to get a few more copies made before to go to Civil Affairs and take care of the money issues. Depending on how she is doing, we may go look for some shoes. She doesn't have any that fit her. The crocs I bought her are too big. I think in some stuff, she would probably be 9 mos. She is just so precious. God is Great! Mark and I both cried last night when we put her to sleep about how blessed we are!

Can't wait for ya'll to see her! She is very shy and timid. We have a ways to go before we make a Stevens or Blanchard out of her. Love ya'll!
Mark, Debbie & Abby

I am so in love with this prescious little rose bud. She has taken my heart away. I can't help but cry every time I see her. Just thinking how her life will be so improved. She has such a loving mom and dad and she will have a wonderful Christian upbringing. I can't wait to see the rose bud bloom as she has her surgery and is well fed and smothered with so much love She will continue to blossum until she is the happy little girl becoming our darling rose in full bloom. God has been so great to our family to share this beautiful child with all of us. Thank you for bringing her into our lives and A. Ruth and U. Harry will always be here to see her along the way. Bless you both for allowing us to share this journey with you. Our love, A. Ruth and U. Harry

I cried when I watched the video because I know how lucky Abby is and so fortunate to have you & Mark as parents! She will adjust fine and I know the Lord is guiding all three of you.

OK, I've watched the video clip three times already. I don't know how you were able to "keep it together", but you did awesome. She's so precious. It's so amazing to see how she just melted into your arms even though she was so scared (grieving I should say). Thank you so much for sharing this with us.

The video was unbelievable! I cried of course!! I know that amazing feeling and now you do too! I see she loved it too when you were rubbing her head to soothe her...just like Harrison! Alex and Harrison want to let you know that they are feeding the fish and they are doing well:)!! Stay well and send lots more pictures!! Love, Sandra
