Happy First Birthday Abigail

1 already! Abigail has finally outgrown her allergies, and is developmentally catching up so well! She is such a happy and peaceful little girl ... we have certainly been blessed!

 

 

 

Daddy's Little Girl! Shawn went out on his own and decided he is going to buy a rose each year for his little Abigail Rose's birthday!

 

8 Months in a Snapshot!!

Updates, FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now Julie will have to change her blog link from "My sister's never updated blog" to ... something else creative! Following is a bunch of random photos from life at Birch Bog over the last 8 months. We can't believe how much the boys have grown up since Christmas ... even their faces have changed so much! Spencer continues to amaze us with his musical talents, and is now starting to get into theatre. Bryce is the cutest daddy's little boy ever ... and he loves Abigail to pieces. Somedays we really think he may leave her in pieces! Abigail is crawling everywhere, pulling herself to stand, crusing the furniture, and just loves to laugh at her big brothers. I will do my best to keep this blog updated more often from now on! My next challenge is to have Julie get me to blog videos!

Happy Birthday Spencer!

7 Years! Spencer had his birthday party at a Wayne From Maine concert this year ... and of course he got chosen to go up and play along!
