A growing little girl...












We cannot believe it but two weeks have come and gone since the birth of Abigail. TWO WEEKS!!! How precious it has been for our family to spend so much time together, not to mention the incredible blessing of watching Abigail grow and develop. We had our two week pediatrician appointment yesterday only to discover that Abigail now weighs 8lbs 12ounces. That is correct, in 2 weeks she has gained 1lb and 2 ounces. The doctor says she is in the 75% for her height and 70% in weight. She will have the stature of her daddy it seems. Fortunately, she will have the beauty of her mother (AMEN). Here are a few pictures that we have taken over the past week or so. We hope these pictures allow you to follow her development with us. Again, we want to acknowledge that as great as the gift of this precious daughter is to us, the Giver of the gift is so much more glorious and worthy of our lives. We pray that as you witness the grace of God in our lives through Abigail that you would be drawn to this holy, majestic, and good God we serve. His death and resurrection for our sins give us a way to have a relationship with Him. He is seeking those who would lay down their lives to pursue a life of following Him. It is this life that we pray Abigail will come to experience. Enjoy the pictures....We love you all!
