Happy Birthday David and Happy Party to Abby!

how cute am I? and, i can already read!

i'm getting me some of this today, except it will be blue's clues!

wow, lauren, this book you gave me that i already have is awesome!

i call this dave's "zoolander" pose!

dave slightly enthusiastic about blowing out the candles!

happy birthday to our brother-in-law, david!!! you're an awesome hubby and father and we're so thankful God put you in our family. we hope you have an awesome day today. i'll never forget the first time i met you, the night before my merit chemistry final and i thought, man, this guy is funny and i really hoped you would be "the one" for my sis. above are some pixs of when we celebrated dave and dad's b'day when i was in georgia. a few are particularly good of you, dave!
also, happy party day to our niece, abigail! she will officially turn 2 on monday, but her party is today. we're so sad that we're going to miss it. i was telling caroline about it yesterday and this morning she woke up and said "we're going to abby's party and i'm going to wear a party hat". somehow, it got lost in translation that we weren't going to actually be there! sad! these are the times we really don't like being away from family...it's no fun to miss out on celebrating these special days with them! i've attached a few pixs of precious abby, too.
