What an amazing year! She is such a blessing to our family and I'm so thankful that one year ago today, God moved mountains to bring her into our lives. Happy Gotcha Day Sweet Abby, I'm so glad you're a part of our Forever Family! We love you!!

congratulations!! :) :)
Sweet Abby,
Oh, how you are loved---I smile thru some tears as I think of one year ago today. So many fond memories during the past year with you, but perhaps the one that touched me the most was very early Christmas morning when I looked @ the manager scene and saw you had put a blanket of cotton over Baby Jesus because "Baby Jesus Cold". How Jesus must have smiled----
You bring joy,blessings, spice, fun,pleasure, and happiness to my life, and I am blessed to call you my granddaughter.
I love you and I send you a BEAR Hug----GRRRRRRRR
Love,
Nobao
Happy Gotcha day! It seems like so it was so long ago that we watched your family grow to 4 kiddo's. We are so lucky to have Abby in our family! love brook and Stefanie
Those first two photos actually made a tear spill down my cheek. But I was smiling by the time I reached the end of those BEAUTIFUL photos! What a happy precious little girl! (loved the baby Jesus being cold pic).
Happy 1st Gotchaversary. We're gearing up for #3 and #4 in just a few weeks! Time sure does fly!

I love all her firsts! What a happy post!

Happy Gotcha Day. I remember so well when you all traveled. I also fell in love with Abby when I saw her picture on the Agency list. It is such a blessing to me to be able to watch her grow and blossom. Thank you Sharla for sharing it with us. Tomorrow is6 months since we arrived home with Sierra and her 1/2 birthday!!!
Hugs and Love

Congratulations on your one year anniversary. Time does fly, doesn't it? We just passed our one year anniversary, as well. My life doesn't allow much time for blogging, lately, but I still check in every now and then. You have a beautiful family. (loved the pocket T tribute, too!)

I am so glad I have been able to join you on this journey. I will NEVER EVER forget reading and watching you get Abby.
I still so so wish we could have traveled together!
Hugs,
