Today was the one year anniversary of receiving our wonderful blessing, ABBY. So much has happened over the past year and first we just want to say "THANK YOU ALL" for your prayers and encouragement. God has blessed our family in so many ways through this one leap of faith we call adoption. We have laughed and we have cried, but most of all, we have felt the joy that can only come from following Gods call. Abby has grown so much that we can not hardly believe she is the same little girl that was placed in our arms only one short year ago. She has gone from not being able to sit up without support to running, laughing, talking, and singing. Every day is something new and we can not wait to wake up and see that little smile that she has every morning.
Today we took vacation from work, and spent the day with Abby. We drove to New Orleans and took her to the Zoo. She loved the animals and we loved watching her. She was a little overwhelmed by a goat in the petting zoo that decided to relieve himself. That was all she would talk about for a while. She got to pet a very soft sheep, and got very close to the elephants and giraffs. Then after she had enough of the zoo, she took a nap in her car seat while we took a short drive downtown. Mom and dad had a foot message by some wonderful Chinese folks while she finished her nap. Then we had Beignets and milk at Cafe Dumonde. To top it off, we had chinese for dinner with our dear friends that also adopted a little girl and were an inspiration to us when we started this journey. Now our day is over and our little angel is fast a sleep for the night.
So again we just want to thank you all and can only imagine what God has in store for us in the next year. God Bless and enjoy the photo's!

What a wonderful way to spend such a special day together! So glad to see you are all doing so great Debbie!! Abby looks WONDERFUL!!
Oh our beautiful princess. When we think back to last year, you realize what a blessing Abby is. Both a blessing to all of us and you guys have been a blessing to her. I think we all know that if you had not got her when you did, she probably would no longer be an angel on earth but up in heaven. Thanks you guys for taking that leap of faith and sharing "our adopted granddaughter" with us.

We should be the ones thanking you for letting us have the opportunity to watch Abby grow. It has truly been a joy to check in on you guys over the course of this past year. It always puts a smile on my face to see pictures of Abby. She has tugged at my heart strings since I first saw her face on the "Waiting Childrens" list.
Thank you, as well, for staying so loyal to all the March families...it won't be long before we have our own pictures to post!
